When creating a tenant database, expect your system to use more memory. Ensure your system has enough memory to run an additional database.

  1. Open SAP HANA Cockpit and log in using XSA_ADMIN.

  2. Open your system database in the Resource Directory window.

  3. Under Tenant Monitoring and Administration, click System Running in the Overall Tenant Statuses tab to open the Manage Databases page.
