SAP HANA Deployment Infrastructure
SAP HANA Deployment Infrastructure: Enabling Reliable Database Object Management in HANA
As SAP HANA underpins the intelligent enterprise, the SAP HANA Deployment Infrastructure (HDI) has become a key mechanism for managing the lifecycle of database objects within SAP HANA environments. SAPinsider coverage of SAP HANA Deployment Infrastructure explains how HDI enables organizations to manage runtime database objects, container-based deployments and multi-version application management within SAP HANA.
What Is SAP HANA Deployment Infrastructure?
The SAP HANA Deployment Infrastructure (HDI) is a service layer of the SAP HANA database that helps create runtime database objects from design-time artifacts. HDI manages dependencies and executes database deployments as transactions, using a separate database process called diserver. HDI containers always come in pairs: a design-time container (DTC) and a corresponding runtime container (RTC), allowing multiple versions of a single application to be deployed into the same SAP HANA database. HDI administration involves database administrators, HDI administrators and HDI container-group administrators, each with distinct roles for managing permissions, containers and container groups.
What Use Cases Are Referenced?
ETL and Data Loading into SAP HANA provides context for how SAP Data Services and HANA-native ETL capabilities interact with the SAP HANA database layer, including how data modeling and deployment tasks are performed within the HANA platform.
Understanding SAP HANA Cleaners: Configuration and Uses describes how HANA administrators configure and manage database maintenance tools, including automated cleanup processes that support the ongoing health of SAP HANA deployment environments.
Disaster Recovery Best Practices for Mission-Critical SAP Landscapes highlights how SAP HANA-based organizations protect their deployment infrastructure with database replication, storage replication and restore-based recovery strategies to minimize downtime.
