Systems Directory
Systems Directory
Allows you to add and manage systems and system groups.
You can add systems one at a time or import many systems in a batch.
When you add a system, you make it available to all users of SAP DCC
Public
16

Alert Monitor
Alert Monitor
The Launch Alert Monitor tile tells you how
many total high priority (HP) and medium
priority (MP) alerts have been reported.
On the Alert Monitor screen, you see a list of
systems on the left that shows how many
alerts each one has.
For HANA systems, the drill down opens the
HANA cockpit Alert app for further analysis of
the displayed alerts.
The relationship between the monitored and
other systems in your landscape can be
analyzed and how they are affected, if the
monitored system has an issue.
Public
17

Enterprise Health Monitor
Enterprise Health Monitor
The Monitor Enterprise Health tile tells you
how many systems are running.
The Enterprise Health Monitor displays a list
of systems with health indicators for
availability, capacity, performance, and alerts.
Click in the System, Availability, Capacity,
Performance, or Alerts column for a system to
display information provided by the system's
cockpit.
Public
18

Start & Stop Systems
Start & Stop Systems
The Start & Stop Systems tile tells you if any
systems are stopped.
On the Start & Stop Systems screen, you can
see a list of systems that shows the state of
each one (running, shutting down, stopped, or
unknown).
If the list is long, focus on systems of interest
by clicking Running Systems or Stopped
Systems at the top of the screen, or use the
search and filter tools.
SAP DCC starts and stops systems using the
SAP host agent, which is included in a typical
installation. If the agent is missing, you cannot
start or stop the system from SAP DCC.

SAP HANA Cockpit

Overview & SP11 Updates
Topic 10 of 12 | Monitoring & Mission Critical Data Center Operations
SAP HANA Cockpit - Further Catalogs

Further Catalogs
Applications that provide core
administration and monitoring features
are available by default.
Applications that allow you to manage
optional components are only available
if the optional component has been
installed.
Examples:
SAP HANA dynamic tiering
SAP HANA smart data streaming
Groups can be managed using the
Group Panel, all available catalogs and
tiles are shown in the Tile Catalog

SAP HANA Cockpit for Offline Administration

Overview
Offline Administration and Diagnosis
The SAP HANA cockpit for offline administration is a
version of the SAP HANA cockpit that communicates
with SAP HANA using SAP Host Agent.
You can use it to perform administration tasks, such
as starting the system or troubleshooting a system
experiencing performance problems, as operating
system user <sid>adm.
Content is displayed as tiles that function as entry
points to individual applications.
However, there are no groups or tile catalogs, and it
is not possible to modify the content or the
homepage.

Start/Restart/Stop System
Start/Restart/Stop
The tile indicates the system
status: Initializing, Running,
Stopping, or Stopped.
It opens the System Operations app
where you can start, restart, and stop the
system.
In a system with multitenant database
containers, all tenant databases will be
started/restarted/stopped.
While the system is
starting/restarting/stopping, the status of
the individual services can be monitored in
the System Operations app.
Public
23

Diagnosis Files
Log and Trace Files
The Diagnosis Files tile opens
the Diagnosis Files app where
you can access log and trace
files, as well as a mixture of other
diagnosis, error, and information files.
To diagnose and analyze errors while SAP
HANA is stopped or cannot be reached
due to performance problems, you can
check these diagnosis files for errors.
Click a file to navigate to its contents.
Alternatively, you can click the download
button to download the file to the
download directory of your browser on
your client.
Public
24

Diagnosis Files
Diagnosis Information
Collection
The Diagnosis Files app also
allows you to trigger the collection
of diagnosis information into a zip file,
which you can then download and attach
to a support message, for example.
When you click Collect in the footer bar
you can then specify the scope of
information to be collected by clicking one
of the following options:
Diagnosis Information
RTE Dump Files
The system collects the relevant
information and saves it to a zip file. This
may take some time and runs in the
background.
Public
25

Troubleshoot Unresponsive System
Troubleshoot
Unresponsive System
When a system cannot be
reached by SQL or is experiencing
performance problems, you or an SAP
support engineer can access diagnosis
information and perform emergency
operations to resolve the situation.
When you click on the Troubleshoot
Unresponsive System tile, the system
displays information about all connections,
transactions, blocked transactions, and
threads in the system.
If necessary, you can cancel individual
connections and transactions, or even
cancel all transactions.

SAP HANA Database

Monitoring Improvements
Monitoring of DDL Statements
Monitoring view M_EXECUTED_STATEMENTS records all DDL statements (e.g. table split/move) by default (can be disabled
using parameter enable_ddl in global.ini, section executed_statements).
Statements are traced in memory, and flushed in regular intervals to a file.
The file size and flush interval are configurable as well as the max. number of trace files (parameters maxfilesize, maxfiles and
trace_flush_internal).
Connection Monitoring
New column CLOSE_REASON in view M_CONNECTIONS now reveals the reason, why a session has been closed (e.g.
because the connection client has been terminated, or because of an idle timeout).
New columns COMMIT_MAX_EXECUTION_TIME, COMMIT_TOTAL_EXECUTION_TIME,
COMMIT_AVG_EXECUTION_TIME and COMMIT_COUNT in view M_CONNECTION_STATISTICS record the time needed
to perform a commit.
Public
27
SAP HANA Database

Monitoring Improvements
SQL Statement Monitoring
M_SQL_PLAN_CACHE now contains columns MAX_CALLED_THREAD_COUNT, TOTAL_CALLED_THREAD_COUNT and
AVG_CALLED_THREAD_COUNT to show how many threads have been used to execute a specific query.
Columns MAX_SERVICE_NETWORK_REQUEST_COUNT, TOTAL_SERVICE_NETWORK_REQUEST_COUNT and
AVG_SERVICE_NETWORK_REQUEST_COUNT record TrexNet request counts in M_SQL_PLAN_CACHE.
M_EXPENSIVE_STATEMENTS now includes column WORKLOAD_CLASS_NAME to show which workload class had been
assigned to a specific statement execution.
SQL statement hash is now included in trace files in case of error situations (e.g. out of memory situations) to easily identify
which statement caused the problem.
Statistics Service
Alert data in the _SYS_STATISTICS.STATISTICS_ALERTS table is now deleted by default after a period of 42 days.
The number of alerts in the system (that is rows in the table _SYS_STATISTICS.STATISTICS_ALERTS_BASE) now cannot
exceed 1,000,000 by default. If this number is exceeded, the system starts deleting rows in increments of 10 percent until the
number of alerts is below the maximum.
