Which tasks can you perform using the SAP HANA database lifecycle manager (HDBLCM) on installation media?

The task of updating SAP HANA and its components is a fundamental function of the SAP HANA Database Lifecycle Manager (HDBLCM). This tool is specifically designed to facilitate the management of the software lifecycle of SAP HANA installations. During the update process, HDBLCM can automate the application of patches and upgrades, ensuring that all components remain compatible and up to date. This is crucial for maintaining system performance, security, and access to the latest features.

While elements such as creating backups, extracting logs, and managing user access are important for a comprehensive database administration strategy, they are not directly performed through the installation media in the same context as updating the database and its components. HDBLCM focuses on the orchestration of installation and update tasks rather than general operational procedures associated with database maintenance or administrative tasks after deployment.
