SAP HANA Crash during database start up

Symptom:

The indexserver or other database services crash during the database start up with following call stack:

0: ptime::Transaction::Transaction

1: ptime::TraceUtil::getOidsFromObjects

2: ptime::ExpensiveStatementTraceFilter::load

3: ptime::ExpensiveStatementTracerImpl::loadConfig

4: ptime::Config::startup

5: TRexAPI::TREXIndexServer::startup

6: nlsui_main

Reason and Prerequisites

The expensive statement trace is turned on and there is a filter on a specific object defined. During start up the tracer tries to use a transaction but the object has not been initialized yet.

Solution

Solution: The crash is fixed with SAP HANA revision 81.

Workaround: to be able to start up the database the filter on the objects needs to be removed. Therefore, please remove the related entry in the global.ini. The complete section about expensive statement trace in the global.ini looks similar to this:

[expensive_statement]

threshold_duration = 1

user = system

object = sys.m_connections

To solve the situation, the entry "object = ..." needs to be removed.
