SAP HANA Trigger-Based Replication



The Trigger-Based Replication method uses the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) component to pass data from the source system to the SAP In-Memory Database (IMDB) target system.
Initial Load and Simultaneous Delta Replication
The initial load of business data is initiated using the SAP In-Memory Computing Studio. The initial load
message is sent from the SAP HANA system to the SLT system (based on SAP NetWeaver 7.02 with
kernel 7.20) which in turn passes the initialization message to the ERP system. The ERP system begins
by setting up database transaction log tables for each table to be replicated. After the transaction tables
are completed, the SLT system begins a multi-threaded replication of data to the target system which
allows high speed of data transfer to be achieved.
The initial load of data can be executed whilst the source system is active.
The system load that this process causes can be controlled by adjusting the number of worker threads performing the initial replication.

In parallel to the initial load, by means of database-specific triggers, the SLT system begins detecting
any data changes that occur while the initial load process is running. These changes are logged to the
transaction tables, and are propagated to the target SAP HANA system. The multi-version concurrency
control (MVCC) of the IMDB prevents issues that could be caused by the initial load process and new
database transactions overlapping.

Continuous Delta Replication After Initial Load

After the initial load process has completed the SLT system continues to monitor the transaction tables
in the ERP system and replicates data changes in the source system to the SAP HANA system in near
real time.

Required Software Components
This replication method requires the following component:
• SAP Landscape Transformation: Component that controls the entire replication process by triggering
the initial load and coordinating the delta replication.

Installation considerations
The SLT system can be installed in two ways. You can select between these options depending on
your current system landscape and the software versions in your landscape:
• Installation on your ERP system
• Installation on a standalone SAP system
