Additional Features
Additional Features
Shortened Restart Time
Fast HANA Restart
Restart time of SAP HANA is mainly determined by the time needed to load the row store into memory
Whenever the database was shutdown normally, the restart can be significantly sped up by re-using existing row store shared
memory segments
Parameter to enable this feature: file indexserver.ini, section row_engine: keep_shared_memory_over_restart = true/ false
Preconditions for fast restart:
Usage of Embedded Statistics Service
Restart after normal shutdown
During index server shutdown phase
o No active write transaction
o No versions on row store tables
o No locks on tables

Additional Features
Web Dispatcher
Web Dispatcher
The internal HANA Web Dispatcher has been converted to a native HANA service named "webdispatcher". It replaces the
previous standalone executable "sapwebdisp_hdb".
Main benefits and changes:
Administration (start/stop) and monitoring (CPU, memory) of the internal web dispatcher are now available in HANA studio.
Configuration via webdispatcher.ini in HANA studio. The previous profile sapwebdisp.pfl is removed, settings are migrated
automatically.
Changed trace file name to webdispatcher_<host>.<port>_dev_webdisp.
Additional trace file webdispatcher_<host>.<port>.<3_digit_file_counter>.trc contains information like start/stop,
configuration changes etc.
The web dispatcher admin tool is now accessible at http://<host>:<port>/sap/hana /xs/wdisp/admin. Log on with a database
user that has role sap.hana.xs.wdisp.admin::WebDispatcherAdmin to use it.
In particular, you can use this tool to manage SSL certificates and other personal secure environments (PSEs) used by SAP
HANA. SAP's command line cryptography tool SAPGENPSE is no longer required.

Additional Features
Monitoring Views
Enhancements regarding monitoring views
The load monitor data is now available in SQL tables (M_LOAD_HISTORY_...). This provides faster access to the data and
allows other tools than HANA studio (e.g. SAP HANA cockpit and DBACockpit) to display a graph of the load monitor KPIs.
Columns CALLER (the service which called this thread) and CALLING (the service which the thread calls) have been added to
monitoring view M_SERVICE_THREAD_SAMPLES.
Enhanced MVCC monitoring (several new columns in M_MVCC_OVERVIEW, new view M_CS_MVCC)
New monitoring views for new features, e.g. multitenant database containers, streaming ,dynamic tiering ,
