What are the functions of transaction DBACOCKPIT?

The function of the transaction DBACOCKPIT is to provide tools for database administration and monitoring activities. It enables access to both local and remote database systems, which is essential for administrators who need to manage multiple databases from a single interface. This accessibility is crucial for various tasks including, but not limited to, performance monitoring, user management, and system health checks across different database systems.

In contrast, maintaining only HANA-specific objects would limit the transaction's capability, as DBACOCKPIT is designed to handle a wide variety of database management tasks beyond just HANA. Similarly, while schemas are part of database management, the primary focus of DBACOCKPIT is not just on schemas for database connections but on comprehensive administration. Finally, monitoring and testing only the primary database would restrict the functionality of DBACOCKPIT, which is intended to provide a holistic view of all database environments, fostering better operational oversight. Thus, the ability to access local or remote databases is a core function of the DBACOCKPIT tool.
