You can run savepoint manually by executing the below command −ALTER System SAVEPOINTChecking savepoint statistics of SAP HANA

In SAP HANA database, changed data is automatically saved from memory to disk and at the interval on which it is saved is called savepoints and by default they are set to occur every five minutes.

In SAP HANA, Persistence layer is used for handling all operational and transaction data to take secure backup and restoring data incase of corruption or database crash. It provides use of Save point which can be used for restoring data.With use of concept of persistence layer of SAP’s relational database, it ensures the successful data restores. Besides managing log data on the disk, HANA’s persistence layer allows read and write data operations via all storage interfaces.Persistence layer in HANA ensures that database can be restored to the most recent committed state after a restart or after a system crash and ...
