Sharing SAP HANA Cloud instance accross Subaccounts

Reusing an existing SAP HANA Database from a different subaccount is easily possible.

Map an SAP HANA instance in SAP HANA Cloud Central to an environment context to create HDI containers for your instance in that context.

Go to Instance Mapping section and use Add Mapping action.

Map an SAP HANA instance

Use the following values:

Value	Description
Organization ID	Shown at the Subaccount overview page in section Cloud Foundry Environment with label Org ID
Space ID	Open the relevant Space and copy the value from the uri /space/1234-space-id-5678/applications Just the part between space and application.

After mapping the SAP HANA Database to the target subaccount context, it can be used as a application reference.

Get your instance id using the Copy Instance IDaction

Copy SAP HANA Instance ID

and use it inside your deployment descriptor mta.yaml resource section:

- name: app-db
  type: com.sap.xs.hdi-container
  parameters:
    service: hana
    service-plan: hdi-shared      
    config:
      database_id: 12345-copied-instance-id-6789

Tips

Troubleshooting insufficient privileges

Error: Insufficient privilege: Detailed info for this error can be found with guid

You can see what is missing by executing the following statement in a SQL console connected to the database:

 call SYS.GET_INSUFFICIENT_PRIVILEGE_ERROR_DETAILS ('<GUID>', ?)

This procedure will show the session user name, the technical user (HDI object owner) executing the statement, the privilege (e.g., ''SELECT'') and some flags starting with IS_MISSING. A TRUE value under one of those flags indicates missing authorizations.

Make sure the user in the user provided service has permissions for SELECT and SELECT METADATA with grant option.
