SAP support asks you to provide diagnostic information from the SAP HANA instance.

A. Run the fullSystemInfoDump.py script on the SAP HANA server as <SID>adm

B. Login using <sid>adm
C. Go to /usr/sap/<SID>/<INST>/exe/python_support
D. Run python fullSystemInfoDump.py
E. Provide database user ID and password
F. The system dump will be zipped and written to /tmp/system_dump
 G. Execute Diagnosis Files -> Diagnosis Information -> Collect function in the SAP HANA studio

Load the all tables into the memory using python support

/usr/sap/<sid>/HDB<inst_id>/exe/python_support/loadAllTables.py

Anyhow, just check the running services in HANA studio (landscape tab) and you have all the process at hand.

How about the HDB command?

This is still changing pretty much ...

Could you please give some more info? Is it changing on per version basis, or what do you mean?

Anyhow, just check the running services in HANA studio (landscape tab) and you have all the process at hand.

As I said, I have only shell access, so no gui or similar apps applicable, only console commands.

But now i see that i can grepps -aef with<SAPSID>_HDB<Instance_No>_<host_name> pattern matching
sapstartpf=/usr/sap/HAN/SYS/profile/HAN_HDB00_vml3012

That is what i mean saying about signature:

sapstartpf=<Path_to_Profile>

So, is it correct that every sapstartpf=<SAPSID>_HDB<Instance_No>_<host_name> process means Hana Db

instance running? Meaning one-to-one relation?

?? seriously... take a guess

Ok, I just needed command signatures in that profile, I don't think it would raise any security issues or something..

A few additional questions:

where can i find hanadb version information? Some config file or command?
How can I retrieve list of schemas of current Hana db instance?

As for last question I guess it should be some sql query. But I have no clue what client to use( /usr/sap/hbdclient ?)
and what exact sql.
