Enhancement of Data Protection for SAP HANA setup script

Hello,

after installing data protection client for HANA v7.1.3.1 it is required to run following configuration script:

/opt/tivoli/tsm/tdp_hana/setup.sh

Script generates initSID.utl file, creates the "TSM" HDBKEYSTORE key and verifies the passwords of all affected TSM clientnodes.

For security reasons customer doesn't want to publish HANA's system user password but he provides the "TSM" HDBKEYSTORE key instead.

We want to run /opt/tivoli/tsm/tdp_hana/setup.sh (e.g. with special parameters) to work with an existing "TSM" HDBKEYSTORE key instead of asking for HANA's system user password and creating then the key automatically.

Could you implement this feature, please?

Kind regards,
Jens Gaertig
