SAP HANA Cockpit 

SAP HANA database explorer

Used by the cockpit administrator to register databases and to create

groups and cockpit users for accessing SAP HANA cockpit.

Screen shows a high level aggregated overview of all registered

systems. From this aggregated landscape overview level you can quickly drill down to a

detailed overview of an individual database. In the database overview screen you find cards

for all important parts of the SAP HANA database.



The SAP HANA database explorer tool is integrated into the SAP HANA cockpit. The database explorer allows you to query information about the database using SQL statements, and to view information about your database's catalog objects

The Database Directory is like a summary of all the databases you're responsible for. If you see a database marked as Stopped, Running with issues, or Unknown, it means there's a problem. To figure out what's wrong, you can go to the System Overview page in the cockpit by selecting the corresponding line.


If the entire SAP HANA database system is having issues, it's crucial to quickly find out why so you can fix it and get everything running smoothly again. Even if the whole system is down, you can still use the cockpit to investigate the main cause of the problem. This is done through the SAP start service connection
