Exercise 8

Update SAP HANA

Business Example
The administration team members have to learn how to validate the downloaded revision update
files and how to perform a revision update on the SAP HANA database system. To facilitate these
tasks, there is already an installed SAP HANA 2.0 SPS07 revision 70 sandbox system. Based on
this installation, the file validation procedure and the revision update can be tested. In this way
the team members gain experience on how to update the software of an SAP HANA database
system.
The following prerequisites are already fulfilled:
● The latest (or at least more up-to-date than installed) revision of SAP HANA 2.0 SPS07 was
downloaded from the SAP Software Download Center
● On the SAP HANA Linux server there is a directory /data/training/setup/upgrade
including the downloaded files
● Access to the archive tool SAPCAR is given (download or via the SAP Host Agent)

The following main tasks have to be done in this exercise:

● Verification of the revision for the installed SAP HANA system
● Validation of the correctness for the downloaded revision update files
● Update the existing installation of SAP HANA 2.0 SPS07 to a newer revision using the SAP
HANA database lifecycle management tools (here: hdblcmgui)

1. All Participants: If you have closed the HA200 SAP Learning Cloud training system Landscape
connection to the training landscape, open it as described in step 1 of the Explore the HA200

Work with SAP HANA HDBSQL and

HDBUSERSTORE

Business Example
You want to execute statements in your SAP HANA database, but no graphical user interface, like
the Database Explorer SQL Console as part of the SAP HANA cockpit, is available. Perform these
activities using SAP HANA HDBSQL.
Furthermore, there is a demand that users are can make use of client applications connecting to
SAP HANA without users having to enter log on information. To make this mechanism work, the
hdbuserstore should be configured.

Task 1: Log On to Your SAP HANA System DB using SAP HANA HDBSQL
Log on to your SAP HANA system database using SAP HANA HDBSQL, specifying the credentials
of the SYSTEM user directly.

1. All Participants: If you have closed the HA200 SAP Learning Cloud training system landscape
connection to the training landscape, open it as described in step 1 of the exercise Explore the
HA200 Training Landscape.

2. All Participants: If you have closed the PuTTY ssh session to your Linux Server, open it as
described in step 3 of the exercise Explore the HA200 Training Landscape.

3. All Participants: Log on to the SAP HANA system database, using the credentials of the
SYSTEM user.

Exercise 21

Change SAP HANA Configuration Parameters

with SAP HANA Cockpit

Business Example
SAP HANA parameters are configuration options that can be used to influence the behavior of
SAP HANA in various ways. Typical reasons for setting parameters are individual security
settings, work-around for bugs, influencing CPU and memory resource consumption, or definition
of file and directory locations.

Caution:
The SAP HANA cockpit is the central monitoring and administration tool. In our
training landscape, SAP HANA cockpit is installed once on a central server. Both
Participant 1 and Participant 2 use this central SAP HANA cockpit server system to
perform configuration changes for their individual SAP HANA system installations.

Change the Value of Parameter savepoint_interval_s for Your Tenant Database

As a member of the SYSTEM DB administration, you decided to adjust an important configuration
parameter after the installation of the SAP HANA system. The parameter savepoint_interval_s
defines the frequency of savepoints. You decided to reduce the (recommended) value 300s for
the initial tenant by one minute to 240s. Use the SAP HANA cockpit to perform the corresponding
configuration change.

Exercise 22

Set Up Restricted Features and Blocked

Parameters

Business Example
Some features are not required or desirable in specific environments. These functions can be
deactivated if defined by SAP as features. But even if not, there is a second option, which allows
you to block functions based on an explicit parameter level. In this exercise, we deal with both
topics Restricted Features and Blocklisted Parameters.

Task 1: Restrict Feature

An existing feature of SAP HANA should be deactivated for a specific tenant database. As a
member of the SYSTEM DB admin group, you have checked the SAP documentation and
identified a specific feature that should be deactivated for a tenant database. In our scenario, the
feature of specifying the backup path should be restricted for the group of tenant database
administrators, so that the management of backup operations is purely given to the SYSTEM DB
admin group.

1. Check the list of Restricted Features and deactivate the feature IGNORE_PATH_RESTRICT.
Field Participant 1 Value Participant 2 Value

<your group> Group01 Group02

System Database SYSTEMDB@H46 SYSTEMDB@H47

2. Verify that the restricted feature was deactivated by checking the Change History in the
Database Configuration app of your Initial Tenant Database.
Result
There is a parameter called BACKUP.IGNORE_PATH_RESTRICT in the section
customizable_functionalities of the global.ini file and the parameter value false is set for layer
DATABASE, which is your initial tenant database <tenant_name>@<SID>.

The value false deactivates the feature to change the standard path (parameter
basepath_databackup) when executing backup operations. For further details, see the Unit
Performing Backup and Recovery.

Task 2: Block Parameter Changes

As an SAP HANA system administrator, you want to prevent changes to configuration
parameters from being made from a perspective of the tenant database administration. In other
words, for the group of tenant database administrators, we deactivate some parameters by
disallowing changes and using inheritance. For these actions, we use the SAP HANA cockpit.

Exercise 28

Recover a Tenant Database

Business Example
After a disk failure, you have to recover your tenant database.

Caution:
In the unusual event, during this exercise, it may happen that the Database Explorer
or the SAP HANA cockpit Database Management app for your SYSTEMDB is not
displayed correctly in Task 2 Step 3 or Task 3 Step 1.
To prevent the unexpected, we recommend that you prepare either an SQL Console
or an HDBSQL connection to your system database BEFORE STARTING this
"Recover a Tenant Database" exercise.
If required, at the above described steps, reconnect the SQL Console or the HDBSQL
to your SYSTEMDB and execute the following statement:
ALTER SYSTEM STOP DATABASE <tenant database> immediate;

Replace the placeholder <tenant database> with your H46 respectively H47 initial
database name.
This manually stops the tenant database and frees up the potentially "hanging"
services for further progress.
Please note: Manual stopping also means that when you start the Recover Tenant
application, the system does not issue a message to stop the database. Instead, it
can start the recovery wizard directly.

Task 1: Simulate a File System Crash of Your SAP HANA Tenant Database
Simulate an SAP HANA system crash with a lost datavolume of your tenant database.

Exercise 32

Create Admin Roles

Business Example
Before you can create user accounts for your database administrator colleagues, you need to
create several admin roles so that the different tasks can be performed by the authorized
colleagues.
Create a role that authorizes generic system administration tasks, then assign this role to an
administration user.
All steps of this exercise are performed using SAP HANA cockpit. Also the necessary roles are
created as catalog roles.
You need a role with authorizations for generic database system administration. This database
administrator performs the following tasks:
● All actions that any database administrator expects to do
● All backup-related tasks, such as creating a database backup, managing the backup catalog,
or deleting backups from disk

Create the role DB_SYSTEM_ADMIN_GENERIC, which consists of two additional roles:

● DB_BASIC_ADMIN
● DB_BACKUP_ADMIN
