What is SAP HANA TImer?
SAP HANATimer is a tool which is used for scheduling database requests on a regular basis and measure runtime information.
SAP HANATimer is useful in scenarios like:
- If user wants to know if runtime is even over time or if there are certain time frames with significant response time increases.
- If user wants to see if runtimes suffer from specific scenarios, e.g. an increased delta storage or a high resource consumption.
SAP HANATimer is implemented using Python script.
This script is an expert tool designed by SAP support. SAP allows users to use it, but SAP doesn't take over any responsibility if in case any problems occurs from the use of this tool.
