    HANA Migrating Single DB To Multi Tenant Database

    Uploaded by

    RavinderPalSingh
    Converting a single SAP HANA database to a multi-tenant database allows running multiple tenant databases on a single SAP HANA system while maintaining a single software version. The key steps are to stop the HANA database, execute the Hdbnsutil command to convert to multi-tenant and set the multi-tenant flag, which will create the system and tenant databases and update secure storage. Administrators must then reset passwords and start the tenant database using SQL statements.

    The key takeaways are that converting a single database to multi-tenant allows running multiple tenant databases on one SAP HANA system with a single software version. Some advantages include strong separation of data and users, backup/restore by tenant, and resource management by tenant.

    The options available are to start from scratch with a new SPS09 installation selecting multi-container or converting an existing single server which is a permanent change that cannot be reversed.

    The prerequisites for converting are SPS 9 or above and migrating the statistics server to the nameserver.

    Converting Single

    DB to Multi Tenant
    Database

    Purpose/Benefit :
    You can run multiple tenant databases on one

    SAP Hana System while still having only one


    software version for a SAP HANA system.
    Some advantages are:
    Strong separation of data and users.
    Backup and restore available by tenant
    database.
    Resource management by tenant (cpu,
    memory)

    Options Available
    1. Start from scratch with a new SPS09 installation,
    during the installation you get the option to install
    a single container or a multi container database
    node

    Options Available
    2. Convert an existing single server to a multi
    tenant database, please not that the change is
    permanent and cannot be reversed.

    Prerequisites :
    SPS 9 and above
    Statistics Server should be migrated to

    Nameserver.

    Steps to Convert :

    1. Stop HANA database


    HDB stop

    Steps to Convert :
    2. Execute below command
    Hdbnsutil convertToMultiDB

    Steps to Convert :
    This action executes the following steps:
    1. Set multidb mode flag in the configuration
    2. Create the system and tenant database
    3. Updates the secure store in the file (SSFS) system.
    The newly created database maintains the original data
    and has the original port configuration, the initial "HDB
    start" command only starts the system database
    though. Therefore it shows that you can start the
    tenant database by an SQL statement, after you do
    this it will automatically start when using the "HDB
    start" command in the future.

    start" command in the future.

    TroubleShooting
    When you try to connect with hdbsql to this new
    SystemDB database it will fail with the error:
    * 10: invalid username or password SQLSTATE: 28000
    Reason : This is because you need to reset the
    password of the SYSTEM user for the SystemDB
    database.
    Solution : Make sure database is stopped or stop using
    command HDB stop.
    Then reset the system password of the user SYSTEM
    with the command hdbnameserver
    -resetUserSystem.

    Troubleshooting

    Now connect to the database with the hdbsql


    command hdbsql -i <instance number> -n
    <hostname>:3xx13 -d SystemDB -u SYSTEM
    after which the system will ask you for a
    password.

    Now you have to start the tenant database with the


    SQL command ALTER SYSTEM START DATABASE
    <SID>.
    But when you do this, the system will complain that
    the user is forced to change its password:

    * 414: user is forced to change password: alter


    password required for user SYSTEM SQLSTATE:
    HY000
    To solve this run the SQL command
    ALTER USER SYSTEM PASSWORD <new_password>.

    After doing this you can exit the hdbsql


    command and check if the tenant database is
    running with the sapcontrol -nr <instance>
    -function GetProcessList command, it should
    now show an additional XS engine and index
    server instance e.g. indexserver-TST and
    xsengine-TST, where our SID is TST.
