Database administration

Running an SAP HANA Cloud database instance a project uses: watching its health and performance, managing users and their access privileges, and keeping backups that a recovery can rest on. Connecting an application to the database is database connectors, moving files in and out of tables is importing and exporting table data, and what the instance costs is consumption monitoring.

Overview

SAP SHIPS

SAP HANA Cloud ships SAP HANA Cloud Central to provision, monitor and manage instances, with a command line beside it, and the SAP HANA Database Explorer for SQL, schemas and diagnostic queries. Backups are taken automatically, data once a day and log continuously, and a recovery is started from SAP HANA Cloud Central.

Not covered: SAP manages the infrastructure, the database software and the backups; configuration, users and their privileges, and performance stay with the project. Backups are kept for 1 to 215 days, and the details of each backup are shown in SAP HANA cockpit, not in SAP HANA Cloud Central.
