Eclipse Local Client connect to AWS HANA

[sap_cohort]

Hello,

     I have done my due diligence and now turning to SCN community.  I have been unsuccessful connecting my local eclipse client to my AWS HANA Instance.  I have looked through SCN and been unable to determine what my issue is exactly.  I have an installed eclipse Luna (win 8.1) with tools, changed the config for heap etc, and tried to installed the mentioned Microsoft VC Runtime.  VC runtime comes back saying I have a newer version than the link on the hanatools page.

https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#hanatools

Shouldn't I just be able to use the instance IP address from the "SAP Server External IP Address" to connect to the instance from my desktop eclipse? 

Any help getting past this is greatly appreciated.

P.S. There is another way mentioned that says to copy the eclipse directory from the Remote Desktop to your local drive, but this seems like it would take forever and use a lot of resources on AWS and cost $$$ just to copy this directory.

Thanks again for any help!

Not if you are sitting behind a corporate firewall.  If you network is firewalled, you might also have to configure the proxy settings in Eclipse. However for some networks, the ports used by HANA Studio simply aren't allowed through the proxy. This is actually the case here at SAP.  I can't connect to a HANA system on AWS via the Studio when I'm connected to the SAP Network. I have to disconnect or use the separate Guest/Internet network which is open in order to access systems on AWS.

Hi Thomas,

     Thanks for the follow up help.  I am not behind a corporate network of any type, just the standard windows 8.1 firewall on my laptop.  I have opened up the following ports. 22, 3200, 3300, 3601, 8002, 8443, 30215, 50000, 50001, 50213, 50214  inbound and outbound.  I believe I saw this on some other document amongst my travels.  I have also just turned off my windows firewall to no avail.

This link basically says "•Simply enter the IP address of your instance into your web browser http://IP ADDRESS and you will find a neatly prepared landing page full of great information, links to tools within your server and some great content to help you get started. "

Based on this can you provide any other advice or resources so I can connect form my local client.

Thanks again,

I have the same challenge on my windows machine, to connect to HANA on AWS , im unable to connect the 2nd time.

1st time when i launch the instance from SAP CAL site, it works great. post that when i terminate the instance post taking a snap shot.

i again bid and relaunch my instance in AWS. and assign a Elastic IP. but unable to connect from Eclipse.

connection goes through Putty sucessfully. but not through Eclipse.

Strange!!!!!!!!!
