SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit
SAP HANA Cloud App
To create a new SAP HANA Cloud instance using the SAP Cloud Platform cockpit, navigate to your Cloud Foundry space and select SAP HANA Cloud from the menu and then Create Database (no changes).
This will launch the Create Instance dialog in the SAP HANA Cloud app
The 4-step dialog is similar but not identical (see below), after which we remain in the app. From here we can manage the SAP HANA Cloud and SAP HANA Cloud, data lake instance.

SAP HANA Cloud Management Tool
The SAP HANA Cloud app lists all instances. From the header using Add you can create new instances.
From the Action column for the instance (elipsis ...), you can for both the database and the data lake:
- Start / Stop
- Copy the instance ID (UUID string) or SQL endpoint (URL with UUID and TLS port)
- Delete the instance
- Edit the instance settings (see below)
Specific to SAP HANA Cloud are
- Upgrade (when available)
- Add a data lake instance, when no instance is created yet
- Launch SAP HANA cockpit or SAP HANA database explorer
- Instance sharing (select the instance name) add provide Cloud Foundry org and space
Edit Instance
Editable properties are the description and memory allocation (database) or compute/storage (data lake). For SAP HANA Cloud, we can also change the allowlist, additional capabilities.
Self-service for memory scale-up are new.
SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit
From the SAP Cloud Platform cockpit section for SAP HANA Cloud, we can now only access the SAP HANA Cloud app page using either the Monitor landscape link on the cards or the Manage HANA Cloud button on the header.
From the cards we can also access the SAP HANA cockpit service for the instance (Administer) or the SAP HANA database explorer (Execute SQL and explore objects).

Over the years, for the SAP HANA Academy, SAP’s Partner Innovation Lab, and à titre personnel, I have written a little over 300 posts here for the SAP Community. Some articles only reached a few readers. Others attracted quite a few more. For your reading pleasure and convenience, here is a curated list of posts which somehow managed to pass the 10k-view mile stone and, as sign of current interest, still tickle the counters each month. |
