Check the replication status in Primary database --> HANA Studio --> Landscape --> System Replication

Replication is initializing

Replication between primary and secondary is now Active

After a new tenant DB was created in a SAP HANA Multitenant Database Containers system running with SAP
HANA system replication, a backup of this new tenant DB is necessary. Otherwise the replication for this tenant
DB will not start.

Takeover 
The following steps are performed:
Trigger a takeover to the secondary system in the event of a disaster.
Register the former primary system as new secondary when it becomes available again.
