SQL Workload

This section provides an overview of statements that were executed.

License

License keys are required to use SAP HANA databases. With DBA Cockpit, you can display information about the current license key, delete the license key, or install a new license key file.

A temporary license key, which is valid for 90 days, is automatically installed with a new SAP HANA system. During this period, you should request and apply a permanent license key.

You can request a permanent license key on the SAP Service Marketplace Support Portal under Keys, Systems & Installations. Permanent license keys are valid until the predefined expiration date. Furthermore, they specify the amount of memory licensed to the target SAP HANA installation. Before a permanent license key expires, you should request and apply a new permanent license key. If a permanent license key expires, a temporary license key valid for 28 days is automatically installed. During this time, you can request and install a new permanent license key.

Others

This section allows you to display system information that is not included elsewhere in DBA Cockpit for SAP HANA.

You can open several predefined SQL SELECT statements on system views.

To display more information, double-click an item in the overview.

To display the underlying SQL statement, choose Details.

Note The information presented in this section is updated automatically with each SAP HANA revision. You do not need to upgrade DBA Cockpit to see the most recent information.
