John,
Thanks for your answer. How do I know which SP I'm using?
I believe I'm using the latest Hana OSX version, but I'm not sure. It/Hana says version 1.50.0 on Mac in contrast to Windows, where it says 1.0.68 (see screenshot attached).
Yes, and XS development works rather fine with Hana Studio on OSX, but not the modeling part, this is the part where Hana has problems under OSX 10.9 and Java 7.
In the meantime I have switched to a VM/Win7 version under OSX. A VM equipped with 12 GB and enough kernels Hana Studio runs smoothly under OSX 10.9.
Cheers
Olli
