Recover Tenant Database Hana Command Line

How to restore a sap hana tenant database manually step by step?

The following page will show you manual analyse procedures and various manual commands to achieve a restoration from a complete backup.

Do remember, there are different possible methods to proceed to a restoration of a tenant database in sap hana. Sap hana studio is the easiest as it guides you into a number of choices. Checkup and validations are done automatically.

However, what we want to show you in here, is what is going on behind the scene of hana studio and what you need to know in order to proceed a restoration of a sap hana tenant database manually.

How to perform a sap hana tenant database restoration from a backint backup?

Different types of backup are possible in sap hana. Backint backup type is related to backup executed via an external backup tool. You can either backup a sap hana database to files format on disk or you can use a third-party backup tool to back up and recover sap hana databases. Performing daily backup on the local server is not the best strategy to follow as disk space is limited and local server is not the best place to manage backup files. Disk or volume space shortage may be source of trouble and could compromise the sap hana system environment.

An external backup tool is certainly more appropriate as backup management is externalized from the sap hana system. Scheduled backup, space monitoring and space requirement are all performed separately from the database system. Third party backup tool problems are unlikely to impact immediately the sap hana database especially when backup space shortage is concerned.

Performing "backint" backup is straight forward but "backint" configuration has been done first. In other words, the Third party tool agent has to be installed and configured in order to give external backup tool access to the sap hana database environment.

Performing sap hana tenant database restoration requires backup content validation process before the final recovery. Those steps are done automatically via hana cockpit and hana studio.

How to check whether sap hana tenant database is in point-in-time recovery or not?

Point_in_time option will provide a recovery up to the time of the database crashes. Production database has be to in recovery mode at all time. However other environment such as development and qualification can be in overwrite mode. When sap hana database log mode in set to overwrite, backup can still be done but recovery will only be done at the date of the backup. There is no way to recover any changes made on the database after the backup.

                              select log_mode,  case  when log_mode = 'overwrite'  then 'Not possible'  else 'Possible'  end  as "point in time recovery"  from ( SELECT DISTINCT log_mode FROM SYS.M_LOG_BUFFERS);     | LOG_MODE  | point in tim |  | --------- | ------------ |  | overwrite | Not possible |

Where are sap hana backint backup directories?

Third-party tools are performing "backint" backup type. Directory names are different than standard backup file directories. "Backing" backup directories for sap hana multitenant databases are as followed:

                              INSTANCE_NAME="HAZ"							 							 /usr/sap/${INSTANCE_NAME}/SYS/global/hdb/backint/SYSTEMDB                /usr/sap/${INSTANCE_NAME}/SYS/global/hdb/backint/DB_<                  a tenant_database_name                                >   For ex : ========	 cd /usr/sap/HAZ/SYS/global/hdb/backint ls -lrt  									 drwxr-x--x 2 hazadm sapsys   10 Jul 18 13:20 DB_THR drwxr-x--x 2 hazadm sapsys   62 Oct 24 23:15 DB_VHR drwxr-x--x 2 hazadm sapsys   62 Oct 24 23:15 DB_JHR drwxrwx--x 2 hazadm sapsys   10 Oct 25 15:34 SYSTEMDB

How to retrieve specific backup file names of a sap hana tenant database?

There are 2 possible sap hana backup types. All backup done on local disk are called "File" backup. Backup done on a remote location via a remote backup tool are called "Backint" backup. "File" backup name are retrievable either on the local server disk or running SQL queries from the database. As far as "backing" backup is concerned, there is no point to look for any file names while logged on the sap hana server. Although specific directories exist, "Backint" backup file names are NOT visible at the os level. In order to find out about "backint" backup file name you have to interrogate the sap hana database. The following 2 views holds all the details for any backup type.

How to get recent backup file names of a sap hana tenant database?

The easiest way to get any backup file names is to use sap hana studio. But other good alternatives exist. Running SQL queries is also a good method as many details about the backup itself can be obtained. SQL report has the advantage of being able to give a high level of data filtering. The simple filter is getting the most recent backup file names first.

How to retrieve the sap hana backup user store key details?

User store key has various purposes. It brings a type of security as password, port number and host name are not visible at the command line, but it also simplify the command line syntax itself. If you do not know the user store key used to run the backup, you can ask your sap hana administrator or the backup department team for any details. Otherwise you can get details about user store key and backup user using the following syntaxes :

You want to know all user key names : -------------------------------------- $> hdbuserstore list DATA FILE : /home/taxadm/.hdb/linux12/SSFS_HDB.DAT KEY FILE : /home/taxadm/.hdb/linux12/SSFS_HDB.KEY KEY BHT_BACKUP ENV : linux12.ssii.tf.world.eu:30241 USER: BACKUP_USER KEY BHQ_BACKUP ENV : linux12.ssii.tf.world.eu:30243 USER: BACKUP_USER KEY BHQ_ADMIN ENV : linux12.ssii.tf.world.eu:30266 USER: ADMIN_USER KEY BHZ_ADMIN ENV : linux12.ssii.tf.world.eu:30269 USER: ADMIN_USER You want to filter all user key names with BACKUP: -------------------------------------- $> hdbuserstore list | grep -i backup KEY BHT_BACKUP KEY BHQ_BACKUP You want details for a particular user key : -------------------------------------------- $> hdbuserstore list BHT_BACKUP KEY BHT_BACKUP ENV : linux12.ssii.tf.world.eu:30241 USER: BACKUP_USER

Which user to use for a sap hana tenant database restoration?

It is preferable to use a sap hana administrator user to perform any sap hana tenant database restoration. Although a BACKUP USER with BACKUP ADMIN can do the job, the administrator user will be able to perform also other actions such as stopping and starting the tenant database. Switching from one user to another to be able to carry on a sap hana database recovery would be a real pain especially in an emergency situation.

How to show and list all sap hana tenant databases status?

When it comes to recover a tenant database, it is important to know whether it is active or not. It does not matter, whether you want to go back in time with an old backup set or whether you have to recover and bring up to date your tenant database after a crash, your database will have to be shutdown before starting the recovery operation.

Do not forget, this operation is done at the SYSTEMDB level

                              Select * from M_DATABASES  										  | DATABASE | DESCRIPTION     | ACTIVE_S | ACTIVE_S | OS_USER  | OS_GROUP |  | -------- | --------------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |  | SYSTEMDB | SystemDB-HAS-00 | YES      |          |          |          |  | VBW      |                 | YES      |          |          |          |  | TBW      |                 | YES      |          |          |          |  | DBT01    |                 | STOPPING |          |          |          |  | TRS      |                 | YES      |          |          |          |

How to stop the sap hana tenant database you want to restore?

In order to restore and recover a sap hana tenant database, it has to be stopped first. Whether you use hana studio, hana cockpit or hdbsql, the stop operation has to be done at at the SYSTEMDB level.

hdbsql $> \c -i 07 -d SYSTEMDB -u ADMIN_USER -p ToBeVerySecret04 hdbsql $> ALTER SYSTEM STOP DATABASE DBT01;

How to check specific sap hana tenant database status?

Remember the sap hana database that will need to be recovered and restored has to be shutdown before the recoving operation. There are many ways to check a sap hana database status. Hana cockpit and the SQL syntax will tell explicitly whether a database is stopped or not. The OS command line tool "sapcontrol" will NOT report on a shutdown database. If you don t see a sap hana tenant database name on the list, it means it is turn down. However, Make sure you are connected to the right server. The result will be the same: Your database name will NOT show up and you might think it is down.

Where to find sap hana backup and restoration syntaxes?

There are different ways to create a sap hana database backup. Backup types are not compatible between each other. In other word, you cannot recover from a "file" backup type using references of a "backint" backup type. You have to use corresponding syntaxes. ( Hence the use of Hana studio which is doing it all for you )

1/ Backup to file Syntax note : USING FILE ('This-Is-A-Prefix-Added-To-The-BackupFileName') A backup file name would be something like : /usr/sap/TAX/SYS/global/hdb/backint/DB_DBT3/This-Is-A-Prefix-Added-To-The-BackupFileName_databackup_3_1 /usr/sap/TAX/SYS/global/hdb/backint/DB_DBT3/This-Is-A-Prefix-Added-To-The-BackupFileName_databackup_2_1 /usr/sap/TAX/SYS/global/hdb/backint/DB_DBT3/This-Is-A-Prefix-Added-To-The-BackupFileName_databackup_0_1 · $> USRK=ADMINBACKUPK; · $> hdbsql -U ${USRK} "BACKUP DATA FOR DBT3 USING FILE ('FILE_COMPLETE_DBT3_20210210')" 2/ Backint Backup Syntax note : USING BACKINT ('This-Is-A-Prefix-Added-To-The-BackupFileName') · $> USRK=ADMINBACKUPK; · $> hdbsql -U ${USRK} "BACKUP DATA FOR DBT3 USING BACKINT ('BACKINT_COMPLETE_DBT3_20210210')" 3/ Restoration from file backup Recovery with hdbsql ( single tenant database ) · $> USRK=SYSTEMDBADMINBACKUPK

How to follow a sap hana database backup or restoration events ?

All sap hana backup and restoration are recorded within the backup.log file. Third party tools backup events are also recorded within the backint.log file The backup.log events are easier to understand and provide more step by steps details.

The following linux script provides a way to follow tenant database events as it is happening.

TENANTDB="DV3" TINSTANCE=07 HOSTNAME="linux07" LOGDIR=/usr/sap/${SAPSYSTEMNAME}/HDB${TINSTANCE}/${HOSTNAME}/trace/DB_${TENANTDB} LOGFILE=backup.log LOG=${LOGDIR}/${LOGFILE} echo "log : " $LOG tail -300 $LOG | grep 'RECOVERY progress of service' echo "---------------------------------------" grep 'RECOVERY' $LOG echo "---------------------------------------" tail -f $LOG 2021-02-24T14:48:19+02:00 P020740 15f4e6c5425 INFO RECOVERY progress of service: indexserver, linux7:30252, volume: 2, 6% 1610612736/26474450944 2021-02-24T14:48:30+02:00 P020740 15f4e6c5425 INFO RECOVERY progress of service: indexserver, linux7:30252, volume: 2, 10% 2684354560/26474450944 2021-02-24T14:48:47+02:00 P020740 15f4e6c5425 INFO RECOVERY progress of service: indexserver, linux7:30252, volume: 2, 16% 4294967296/26474450944 2021-02-24T14:48:59+02:00 P020740 15f4e6c5425 INFO RECOVERY progress of service: indexserver, linux7:30252, volume: 2, 20% 5368709120/26474450944

How to start the sap hana tenant database which has been restored and recovered?

There is no particular or specific command to startup a sap hana tenant database after it has been recovered. There are many ways to start it up. The following syntax can be executed either in hana studio sql console or using hdbsql:

hdbsql $> \c -i 06 -d SYSTEMDB -u ADMIN_USER -p ToBeVerySecret04 hdbsql $> ALTER SYSTEM START DATABASE DBT01;
