What is the role of the hdblcm tool in SAP HANA?

The hdblcm tool plays a significant role in the installation and management of SAP HANA systems. It specifically generates configuration templates, which are crucial during the setup process of system installations. These templates streamline the installation by providing predefined configurations, enabling users to quickly deploy the necessary components with minimal error. This tool effectively facilitates a smoother and more efficient installation experience for SAP HANA, ensuring that users have a structured approach when preparing their environments.

While managing database migrations, assisting in system administration tasks, and providing advanced security features are important aspects of SAP HANA operations, they are not the primary functions of the hdblcm tool. Its main focus is on assisting with the generation of templates that guide installations, thereby simplifying the deployment process.
