HANA system
1 system database and multiple tenant databases
Shared installation of database system software
Strong isolation features, the system database and each
of the tenant databases have their own:
database users,
database catalog,
repository,
persistence,
backups,
traces and log files
Distinction between tasks performed at system level and
those performed at database level
Integration with data center operation procedures

Multitenant Database Containers: Monitoring Concept
Specific properties of SAP HANA multitenant database containers regarding administration/monitoring
The system database plays a central role
It is responsible for overall system and resource monitoring
It can initiate both restarts of the system database itself and of individual tenant databases
It can initiate both backups of the system database itself and of individual tenant databases.
Recoveries are always initiated by the system database
Tenant databases are always created/dropped by the system database
Resource limits for tenant databases are configured on the system database
Tenant databases are monitored individually
Alert, trace, parameter and user configuration is done for each tenant database individually
Public
19

SAP HANA Multitenant Database Containers: Monitoring Tools
Monitoring Tools
SAP HANA studio has been adapted to be able to
Connect to the system database and any tenant database
Display the database type in the Systems view
Monitor the system database and any tenant database using the Administration
editor
Change database specific parameters
SAP HANA cockpit can be used to monitor the system database and any tenant
database
DBACockpit and Solution Manager can be used to monitor the system database and
any tenant database
Public
20

SAP HANA Studio SQL Editor
SQL Editor
As a default, all SQL statements are now prepared
before they are executed
You can change the default behavior in the studio
preferences
Public
21

SAP HANA Studio Extended Performance Analysis I
Plan Visualizer - Overview
Plan Visualizer - Statement Statistics
Visualization of execution plans will automatically display an

Overview page
Key KPIs are displayed to provide an overview before
starting a detailed details
Visualization of execution plans for SQLScript procedures

also displays a set of statistics for each SQL statement
involved in the procedure
Provides easy drill-down into the most expensive SQL
statement
Public
22

SAP HANA Studio Extended Performance Analysis II
Plan Visualizer - Tables Used
Provides an overview on which tables have been used
during the processing of a statement
Displays 3 metrics per table:
maximum number of entries processed, i.e. the
overall output cardinality of any processing step
on that table in the statement execution.
number of accesses, i.e. how often a table has
been accessed during statement execution
maximum processing time, i.e. the maximum
processing time across the possibly multiple table
accesses
Double-clicking on any row (table) leads to a corresponding operator list filtered for physical operators accessing the selected
table.
Public
23

SAP HANA Studio Extended Performance Analysis III
Plan Visualizer - Network
For queries executed in a distributed landscape, the Network view visualizes sequential
network data transfers between different servers based on their given timestamps
Information displayed:
X-axis: servers involved
Y-axis: time elapsed since query execution
duration of network data transfers represented by rectangular bars
size of data transferred in bytes
Plan Visualizer - Performance Trace

Displays list of operators for which performance trace data exists
The data can be viewed by selecting any of the operators
given in the list.
The view consists of two main sections:
left: list of operators you can select to view performance
trace data
right: performance trace data for the selected operator
Public
24

SAP HANA Studio Extended Performance Analysis IV
Plan Trace
Collects SQL queries (along with their execution plans)
executed in a given time frame for a particular application
(session).
Only 'SELECT' statements are currently traced - all other
kinds of statements including procedures are planned
to be supported in the future
Plan trace configuration can be accessed in two ways:
Context menu on a particular session in Administration
editor -> Performance -> Sessions
Administration editor -> Trace Configuration tab
When an active trace is stopped, the Plan Trace Editor
will be opened automatically, displaying the traced queries
Double-clicking a particular statement (or using the
context menu entry 'Visualize Plan) displays the execution plan
Public
25

SAP HANA Web-based Development Workbench
SQL Console
Extended SQL Console (part of the "Catalog" perspective) to support implicit
and explicit performance measurement while executing a SQL statement
Implicit performance measurement provides
Execution Time information: DB, XS, and frontend layer
Additional information: table locks, system alerts.
Detailed performance analysis supports the repeated execution of statements
thus allows to check whether performance characteristics are stable
Expensive Statements Trace

Available in the "Trace" perspective
Supports filtering for passport-based application sessions
For each statement metrics such as start time, number of processed
records, etc. are displayed
Summary provides information on the overall SQL load:
number of statements executed
number of unique statements executed
number of result records
Public
26

Embedded Statistics Service
Re-activating Checks
If the SQL statements to collect data suffer from heavy overall system load and do not return in the expected timeframe, the
corresponding check or data collector is deactivated automatically.
With SPS09 such checks and collectors get automatically enabled again after a specific interval (default: one hour)
New Alerts
Several new checks/alerts have been created in the areas of
System Replication
MVCC
Discrepancy between host server times
Disk usage in multiple-container systems
SAP HANA dynamic tiering
SAP HANA smart data streaming
Public
27

Memory Limit Enhancements
Memory Limit Enhancements
User specific memory limit in addition to the global statement memory limit
ALTER USER <username> SET PARAMETER STATEMENT MEMORY LIMIT = <gb>
If both a global statement memory limit and a user statement memory limit are set, the user specific one (higher or lower)
will precede
Unsetting the user parameter will bring the global statement memory limit into effect for the user
Setting the user parameter to 0 will disable any statement memory limit for the user
You can set the statement memory limit for a user in the User editor of the SAP HANA studio.
Statement Memory Limit Threshold
Parameter statement_memory_limit_threshold in file global.ini, section memorymanager
Allows to specify a percentage of total memory (as per global_allocation_limit).
If this parameter is set, the global or user statement_memory_limit is only evaluated, if the total memory usage reaches this
threshold.
No statements have to be cancelled if the total memory usage is below this threshold.
This feature allows expensive statements, which consume more than the allowed statement memory limit, to finish
successfully during periods of low load, e.g. during the night.
Public
28

CPU Time Measurement
CPU Time Measurement
Resource consumption collection has to be enabled manually:
Configuration file global.ini, section resource_tracking, parameters enable_tracking and cpu_time_measurement_mode
Expensive statements trace contains column CPU_TIME which shows the CPU usage of the traced statements
Monitoring view M_SERVICE_THREADS shows CPU time values in columns CPU_TIME_SELF (CPU time of thread) and
CPU_TIME_CUMULATIVE (CPU time of thread and associated children) which are also shown in the Threads view of the
Administration editor in HANA studio
Public
29
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
Trace files indicate which kind of restart happens:

Shutdown:
Restart:
Keeping RS shared memory at RowStore shutdown

Preconditions for reuse of RS shared memory is satisfied
RS shared memory will be used for RowStore segments at next service startup
Reattaching RS shared memory for RowStore segments
2 RS segments loaded in 0.28 sec (457.143MB/s)
Public
31
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.
Public
32
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 ,
