1985402 - Requirements and Corrections For Collecting HANA Service Data

Symptom
  • You experience program errors in function group /SDF/HANA_7X (e.g. syntax error in function module /SDF/GET_HANA_TABLE).
    Several corrections (also to the old download mechanism) are done via this SAP Note. SAP Note 1878184 will not be maintained anymore.
  • We introduced a new data collection mechanism for collecting service data for HANA services.
    This new mechanism enables:
    - services for standalone HANA Databases
    - is the prerequisite for multiple HANA Databases in one service session.
    This new download mechanism is available with ST-PI 2008_1_7xx SP 10.
  • You see in the Early Watch Alert Report in the Chapter 'HANA Database' that content is missing.
  • Prerequisite for HANA Collection is:
    • ST-PI 2008_1_7xx SP 10 or
    • ST-PI 740 SP 0
      with this SAP Note implemented.


Other Terms
HANA Download, EarlyWatch Alert, ST-PI, EWA


Reason and Prerequisites
To simplify and to enhance the possibility for the download collection a new function module had to be introduced. The new function module will be the basis for the following scenarios:
  • Standalone HANA Database (Remote Database). This function module is the prerequisite for the EarlyWatch Alert of the product HANA Platform Edition. 
  • It simpliyfies the rollout of HANA Download content.
  • SAP Note 1878184 is obsolete.
Changes:
  • Changed the interface of the function module with ST-PI 2008_1 7xx SP 10.
  • Introduced a simplified function to figure out the correct HANA Database from which Data should be collected.
  • Date: 2015-06-18: You don't want to have HANA Checks in your EarlyWatch Alert of a HANA Database which is connected via DBCON. In this case create in DBACOCKPIT an entry with this connection and add in the description field 'NON_EWA_'. See also SAP Note 2137119. 
Correction of Errors:
  • HANA Databases with another SID than the ABAP System is not treated corrrectly by the download. This is ensured. (Correction Date: 2015-02-16)
  • For HANA Databases with Revision 1.00.70 the wrong download module M_DATABASE is read. This is corrected. (Correction Date: 2015-03-20)
  • In Solution Manager where also a HANA is connected the download contains information of the connected HANA systems. This should not be the case. There is one exception: if SLT (component DMIS) is used the download should contain the required information of the connected HANA System. The workaround with the DBACockpit descrption 'NON_EWA...' to switch collecting HANA information does not work anymore. To set up EWAs for HANA Standalone follow SAP Note 1958910.  (Correction Date: 2015-04-23)

Relationship to the Service Content and the ST-PI Support Package:
Basically the ST-PI Support Package should be actual to guarantee that the Service Content has reliable content. With the Service Content ST-SER 2010_1 SP 26 (Release to Customer in December 2014) it is strongly recommend to have
ST-PI 2008_1_7xx SP 10 (or higher) or
ST-PI 740 SP 0
installed.



Solution
To get a complete content for Service Delivery or for the EarlyWatch Alert in the Download please implement at least
ST-PI 2008_1_7xx SP 10 (or higher) or
ST-PI 740 SP 0 (or higher)
together with the newest coding corrections of this SAP Note.
(Remark: there will be continues changes at this SAP Note, even if you have the newest ST-PI Support Package installed, coding corrections might be necessary)

  1. Collecting HANA service data requires proper configuration of system settings and tools to ensure accurate data retrieval. Similarly, a PoE Hub is essential for efficiently delivering both power and data to network devices, ensuring smooth connectivity and minimizing setup errors in enterprise environments.
