HANA Parameter Change Activity




System Environment

Active HANA Node à ***hana***a (10.**.**.$$)
Passive HANA Node à ***hana***p (10.**.**.**)


Parameter Change Process


To change parameter in HANA System
Login to HANA System 


Go to à Configurations

Search for the parameter (e.g. statement_memory_limit)



Right Click à Change




Enter the value in the column “New Value”.

Note:-
There are 2 sections in the Change Configuration Value box. One is the “System” sections wherein if the parameter value is inserted in this section the change would be replicated across the system. Second is the Host section (In case of Multi-Node Cluster) wherein if the parameter value changed is specific to the particular host.




Once changed Click on Save.





Note that once the parameter is changed, the same would be available at the OS level at the following path under the respective “.ini” file :-
/hana/shared/SID/global/hdb/custom/config





As part of the Standard process, since our System is setup in a System Replication Environment, the same parameter change has to be manually changed in the respective “.ini” file in Passive Node (e.g. ***hana***p)










Restart HANA System

In some cases, you might require to take a restart of the HANA System, in order to perform the restart of HANA System:-

Stopping HANA System

Stopping Sequence à
1.       Stop Passive Node (***hana***p)
2.       Stop Active Node (***hana***a)

Login to Passive Node à ***hana***p (10.**.**.**)
Execute the command à HDB stop





To check if HANA System is down à HDB info





Login to Active HANA Node à ***hana***a (10.**.**.$$)
Execute the command à HDB stop
To check if the HANA System à HDB info

Starting HANA System

Starting Sequence
1.       Start Active Node (***hana***a)
2.       Start Passive Node (***hana***


To start the HANA System login to Active Node and execute the following command
HDB start




To check the status of the HANA System






Note that all the HANA Services (hdbnameserver, hdbindexserver, hdbpreprocessor, hdbcompileserver, hdbxsengine, hdbwebdispatcher, sapstartsrv) should be visible.
In HANA Studio





Start the HANA System on the Passive Node
