Why CertiHANA

Replace the scripts, cron jobs and spreadsheets that keep your HANA systems alive

Most SAP HANA landscapes are protected by a patchwork of hand-written backup scripts and manual checks. CertiHANA puts every operation behind one role-secured web console, with schedules, retries, notifications and an audit trail.

0task types for backup, offsite copy, recovery, housekeeping, monitoring, security and Schema Manager
0health check rules in seven categories, each with a recommendation and SAP Note
0offsite storage targets with independent retention, verification and encryption
0agents inside SAP HANA: CertiHANA works through the SQL port and, optionally, SSH to the host

Proven recoverability

Every backup is verified with the SAP tools, the recovery chain is validated daily, and a test restore into a sandbox tenant can run unattended every quarter.

Predictable operations

SAP-recommended backup and housekeeping schedules applied in one click, with retries, dependencies, maintenance windows and notifications to e-mail, Teams or Slack.

Compliance evidence

RPO compliance checks, health scores with history, daily HTML reports and a fleet-wide backup status that auditors and management can read.

What it does

The complete operations suite for SAP HANA

Nine modules, one console, one audit trail. Every capability is available in every edition.

Backup management

Full, differential and incremental backups to file or Backint, catalog browser, log backup monitoring, size estimation, snapshot integration, verification with hdbbackupcheck and hdbbackupdiag.

Full backup with cleanup New

One scheduled task runs the complete backup and, only after it succeeded, deletes every older data and log backup from catalog and storage. A failed backup deletes nothing.

Learn more →

Retention policies

Keep N fulls, days, grandfather-father-son generations and a minimum number of fulls. Preview what will be deleted and how much space is freed before anything happens.

Learn more →

Offsite and cloud copies

A second copy of every backup file on SMB, SFTP, S3, Azure, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox or any rclone provider, with its own retention, verification and AES-256 encryption.

Recovery planner and test restores

Turn a point in time into the exact RECOVER statements and a runbook in seconds. Prove recoverability with an automated restore into a sandbox tenant.

Learn more →

Housekeeping and maintenance

From backup to proof

Every step of the recovery chain, automated and verified

CertiHANA does not stop at the backup. It copies the files offsite, validates the redo-log continuity, applies retention on both sides and proves with a real restore that the chain works.

How it works

Protected in an afternoon

CertiHANA is a single Windows installer. It runs as a Windows Service on any server that can reach the HANA SQL ports and needs no software inside HANA.

Install the service

Run the installer, set the administrator password, open the console over HTTPS. About ten minutes, no database downtime.

Register your HANA systems

Add SYSTEMDB and tenants with a technical HANA user. The connection test and compatibility check report every missing privilege; a grant script is included.

Apply the recommended schedule

One click applies SAP-recommended backup, log, retention, housekeeping and health jobs. Add an offsite target, and every backup gets its second copy.

SAP Business One on HANA

Built for Business One partners and hosting providers

CertiHANA reads the company registry, shows every company database with version and localisation, and manages companies as schemas: export, import, clone, masked test refresh, archive and restore.

  • Multi-tenant fleet management with per-customer schedules and notifications
  • Schema exports compressed to ZIP like the SAP Business One backup service
  • Built-in masking rules for business partners, employees, users and marketing documents
  • Business One guidance in the health check, checklists and recommended jobs

CertiHANA for SAP Business One

A production-to-test refresh, scheduled

1. drop test company SBO_TEST
2. clone SBO_PROD → SBO_TEST (IGNORE EXISTING)
3. mask personal data: OCRD, OCPR, CRD1, OHEM, OUSR, …
4. register SBO_TEST in SLD · verify row counts
5. notify #sap-basis · audit trail entry

Keys stay intact, so the test company stays consistent. Production systems require an explicit override.

Licensing

Licensed per SAP HANA system. Every feature in every edition.

A licence covers a number of HANA databases on one CertiHANA server. Standard, Professional and Enterprise differ in the support agreement and the number of systems, never in capability.

Questions

Before you ask

Does CertiHANA install anything inside SAP HANA?

No. It connects through the HANA SQL port with a dedicated technical user and, for host-level tasks such as trace cleanup or file-based offsite copies, optionally over SSH. Nothing runs inside the database.

Which SAP HANA versions are supported?

SAP HANA 2.0 from SPS 04 onwards, SYSTEMDB and tenant databases, on any Linux host. The current release is verified on SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 08 (revision 87) with SAP Business One tenants.

How is it licensed?

Per managed SAP HANA system (SYSTEMDB and each tenant count separately), bound to the CertiHANA server. There is no trial mode; the built-in demo systems let you explore the console before you buy.
