Which indications exist for SAP HANA thread issues?

 SAP HANA thread issues can manifest in various ways, indicating potential performance bottlenecks or system problems. Here are some check IDs: 

 

Check ID

Details

M0716

Number of statistics server worker threads

M0751

Historic thread samples save interval (s)

M0885

SqlExecutor threads with significant duration

M0887

Application users with significant threads

M0890

Unusual frequent thread methods (last hour)

T0110

Insert int HOST_SERVICE_THREAD_SAMPLES failed

C0380

Joining of thread contexts

 

Similarly below are the symptoms of thread-related issues in SAP HANA:

1. High CPU Utilization

  • Symptoms: Prolonged periods of high CPU usage.
  • Indications: Threads may be stuck in a busy loop, or there may be inefficient query processing.

2. Thread Pool Exhaustion

  • Symptoms: New requests being delayed or failing.
  • Indications: The number of active threads has reached the maximum limit, and new threads cannot be created.

4. Lock Waits and Deadlocks

  • Symptoms: Queries and transactions experiencing delays or timeouts.
  • Indications: Threads are waiting for locks held by other threads, leading to lock contention or deadlocks.

5. High Wait Times

  • Symptoms: Increased query execution times.
  • Indications: Threads spending excessive time waiting for resources, such as I/O operations, locks, or network responses.

6. Slow Query Performance

  • Symptoms: Queries taking significantly longer to execute than expected.
  • Indications: Inefficient execution plans or insufficient threading leading to suboptimal use of CPU and memory resources.

8. Blocked Threads

  • Symptoms: Specific operations or queries becoming unresponsive.
  • Indications: Threads being blocked by other long-running threads or waiting indefinitely for resources.

9. Database Hangs or Freezes

  • Symptoms: The entire SAP HANA database becoming unresponsive.
  • Indications: Severe thread contention or resource exhaustion causing the system to hang.
