Hello,
For reasons unknown the index service crashed and since then our HANA instance is not available. (SAPControl is reachable!)
All servers/services are starting but the index server seems to run in an infinite loop trying to delete files from the garbage collection (Garbage collection of history files running: 0 cleanup files of 0 done). This is blocking the system since all other servers/services are waiting for the index server.
That's why I want to do a restore of the database, however I can't do it in the HANA Studio -> Recovery Wizard is stuck at 66% when trying to receive some version info. I only get the following error: "SAPControl request failed"
I also wanted to do a recovery using the command line. I wasn't able to find a command which tells the system to recovery the database using a certain backup file.
Is there any command to do this task?
In addition:
Can anyone tell me why the index service is stuck in the garbage collection?
