Database Backups
In this video tutorial about database backups for SAP HANA Cloud with SAP HANA cockpit, we take a look at the card and apps. Spoiler alert. It is FYI.
What’s New (and Changed)?
Compared to the SAP HANA cockpit for SAP HANA platform (on-premise) there are no changes for the Database Backup user interface (SAP HANA cockpit) but backup is configured as a restricted feature for the SAP HANA Cloud H00 tenant database and hence not configurable. It is part of the managed service.
For more information and resources, see the blog post
SAP HANA Cloud – Database Backups
System Configuration
In this video tutorial about system configuration for SAP HANA Cloud with SAP HANA cockpit, we take a look at the System Configuration app.
What’s New (and Changed)?
System configuration (and app) work the same as with SAP HANA systems on-premise. The biggest difference is that SAP HANA Cloud is a tenant database and so the number of parameters available for configuration is limited.
