HANA Savepoint Mechanism

        

Automatic: 

During normal operation savepoint are automatically triggered when a predefined time since last savepoint is passed.

The timeline of savepoint is configured by following parameter:

Global.ini > persistence > savepoint _interval_s

Manual:

 To execute a manual Savepoint use this command.

ALTER SYSTEM SAVEPOINT;

Soft Shutdown:

A soft shutdown invokes savepoint. Hard shutdown does not invoke savepoint.

Backup:

A global Savepoint is invoked before a backup is started. A Savepoint is also performed after backup finishes.
