This article provides troubleshooting steps for common issues encountered while adding or monitoring SAP HANA databases in Applications Manager.
Problem 1: No Data Displayed in the SAP HANA Database Monitor
Symptom: No data is displayed in the SAP HANA Database monitor, or the following error is shown:
SAP DBTech JDBC: [414]: As per your password policy, current user is forced to change DB password.
Solution: Change the SAP HANA database user's password or update the password policy as required.
Problem 2: Unable to Add a SAP HANA Database Monitor
Troubleshooting steps:
- Verify that the correct SQL port (Index Server port) has been configured in Applications Manager.
- Verify the JDBC connection to the SAP HANA database using SAP HANA Studio or Database Manager. Also, ensure that the correct database instance name has been specified.
- The SQL port for a tenant database can be found in SAP HANA Studio under Administration Console → Tenant Database → Landscape. Refer to the SQL Port column for the appropriate port number.

- If the JDBC connection fails even when the correct database name is specified, refer to SAP Note 2800117.
Problem 3: Semaphore Timeout Error While Connecting to SAP HANA
Symptom: The following error is displayed while connecting to the SAP HANA database.
com.sap.db.jdbc.exceptions.JDBCDriverException:
SAP DBTech JDBC: Cannot connect to jdbc:sap://Host:30915/
[Data received failed. java.io.IOException:
The semaphore timeout period has expired.]
Solution:
For On-Premises SAP HANA Instances
- Verify that the SAP HANA host IP address is reachable from the Applications Manager server.
- Check network connectivity between the Applications Manager server and the SAP HANA server.
- Ensure that firewall rules allow communication through the configured SAP HANA SQL port.
For SAP HANA Cloud Instances
- Verify that the Applications Manager server's IP address has been added to the SAP HANA Cloud allowlist (whitelist).
- Ensure that network access is permitted from the Applications Manager server.
