  Monitor Resource Usage: Check the resource usage on the HANA database. If the database is under heavy load, consider optimizing queries, increasing resources, or scheduling indexing operations during off-peak hours.
  Review Configuration Settings: Ensure that the configuration settings for both the SAP application and the HANA database are correct and optimized for indexing operations.
