Replication from ABAP source system


SAP LT Replication Server transfers all metadata table definitions from the non-ABAP source system to the HANA system. From the HANA Studio perspective, non-SAP

source replication works the same as for SAP sources. When a table replication is started, SAP LT Replication Server creates logging tables in the source system. The

read engine is created in the SAP LT Replication Server. The connection the non-SAP source system is established as a database connection.

SAP LT Replication Server Solution

Delta capabilities to minimize the transfer volume by transferring only changed data

ABAP &&

non-ABAP systems can be connected to SAP BW to achieve simplified data flow

Real-time data transfer immediately into PSA or ODQ, reporting can be enabled on minute basis


SAP LT Replication Server offers real-time data replication from ABAP-based and non-ABAP-based systems into SAP NW BW (7.0 onwards).

The data is transferred into Web Service DataSources in the Persistent Staging Area in SAP NW BW and can be processed via SAP BW Real-

time Data Acquisition (RDA) Daemon into DataStore Objects (DSO) or master data tables (MD).

Use Cases

SAP Data Services


SAP LT Replication Server enhances the established SAP Data Services/ODP scenario (which was implemented for the transfer of source data starting from ECC

systems 6.00) with the full SAP system release coverage (4.6 C onwards). As of SAP Data Services 4.2 SP1, the implemented trigger technology of SLT leverages the

CDC (Change Data Capturing) scenario of SAP Data Services with real-time data provisioning and delta capabilities for all source tables.

Use Cases

SAP NetWeaver and non-ABAP targets


ABAP to ABAP Replication

Use Case

You want to transfer data between two ECC systems

Replacement of an batch-oriented option to move data between systems

Fill additional ABAP system beside ECC with real-time data

Solution

The replication between ABAP systems is general available with SAP LT Replication

Server DMIS2011 SP6. The standard SLT license is required to be able to use this

function.

Connection

ABAP to ABAP Replication

Architectural Concept

SAP Business Suite

Target table must

be available

Start of

replication has to

be executed via

LTRC


ABAP to ABAP Replication Steps to be executed

Specify the RFC Destination and the Scenario with Standard RFC scenario and create the configuration.



To start the replication for a table you have to enter transaction

LTRC and execute the Data Provisioning function.

Specify the table name you want to

replicate, the transfer option and execute it.

Ensure that a target table with the same

name already exist. In the ABAP to

ABAP scenario, SLT will not create the

target table structure automatically.

Take care for the client, if you do not

have the same client in source and

target, specify a transformation rule.



You can check the transfer process, the logging tables, triggers and the creation of the

different objects in the Table Overview and Data Transfer Monitor in transaction LTRC.


ABAP to non-ABAP Replication

Use Case

Fill additional non-ABAP system beside ABAP with real-time data

Many customers use solutions developed in-house, legacy, or 3rd party non-ABAP products

and solutions to analyze their business data

You want to use SLT to feed these analytical systems with data in real time, and minimize the

transfer volume by transferring only delta data.

Solution

The replication between from ABAP to non-ABAP systems is not general available with SAP LT Replication

Server DMIS2011 SP07.

The technical foundation is feasible to achieve such a replication, but it is not unrestricted enabled. Wrong data

types could harm the systems, SAP recommend to evaluate in a small project feasibility of your use case and

will activate and enable you for the non-ABAP target replication.

The standard SLT license is required to be able to use this function.

(*) Since a DB connection from LT replication server to a non-ABAP system is required, the OS/DB restrictions of SAP

NetWeaver 7.02 or higher apply (see at http://service.sap.com/pam)
