SAP HANA capture and replay

Testing database workload is still a large effort for administrators, testers, developers and consultants alike when looking to upgrading from one release to another. Especially when it comes at larger scale scenarios, the amount of work can grow exponentially.

HANA Partitioning – 2 billion rows limitation – Part I: BWoH / BW/4HANA

Some of you may already know the limitation of 2 billion entries in a single table / partition.
Another hint regarding this limitation is the alert ID 17 ‘<table> contains xxx records’. The default threshold of this alert is 300,000,000 rows. This limitation applies to BSoH / S/4HANA and BWoH / BW/4HANA => general HANA limitation. But both have its own distribution rules. So I will split this blog into two parts BWoH and BSoH.

Make your HANA Express impersonate Cloud Foundry

When I help partners set up their HANA Express servers for development use, I want to configure them to impersonate the behavior of Cloud Foundry so that they get used to how the XSA generated URLs work.  This approach also tends to promote a more deployment target agnostic behavior and leads to projects that deploy into both HANA XSA on-prem and Cloud Foundry environments without any code differences.
