HANA Administration
HANA Administration covers the operational skills required to run SAP HANA as the database platform underlying ECC, S/4HANA and BW systems, including architecture concepts, instance and service management, memory and persistence configuration, monitoring, backup/recovery, user and security administration, and the specific administration differences between on-premise, private cloud and public cloud HANA deployments.
