Hillary…thanks for this article. I still don’t understand why did you install R/Rserve on Linux ? You mentioned about compiling r-code directly..could you pls elaborate ?
Hi Vamsi, I guess you saw the post on installing Predictive Analysis. In order to run HANA-R algorithms, R must be installed on a companion box, and currently SAP only supports SUSE Linux for the R host. This installation document from SAP explains the R integration for HANA and explains why Linux is needed: http://help.sap.com/hana/hana_dev_r_emb_en.pdf
