Data Provisioning in SAP HANA
These days many customers are checking the feasibility of doing a real time replication to BW using SLT.
In this document, I will like to demonstrate a similar data flow.
My source is an SAP Utility ECC System and data would be flowing from the same to a BW System with SLT System
acting as an intermediate one.
ODP/SLT functionality would be utilized for meeting the requirement in this case.
System Level Prerequisites:
STEPS:
1) Create a RFC Connection between SAP ECC System and LT System.
Here I have named the RFC Connection as ECA_100 ( We will be using this at a later step in the document).
2) Create a RFC Connection between LT and BW on HANA System.
Here I have named the RFC Connection as SH2_001 ( We will be using this at a later step in the document).
3) Create a SLT Configuration in the LT System.
a) Go to the LTR Transaction code in the LT System –> Specify General Data
Click on the NEXT button to move to Step 3, where the Target System details needs to be mentioned.
It’s again a RFC connection and hence the RFC Connection check box is clicked.
RFC destination —> can be kept as NONE
Scenario for RFC Communication –> ODP Replication Scenario
Queue Alias –> Can be some custom number. We have used 123456.
NOTE: This will further get reflected in BW side.
4) BW Relevant Developments:
In BW side, we need to create source system under ODP – SLT Queue
Provide the password for ALEREMOTE or Your Landscape Background user Credentials.
Now since all the required configurations are ready, we will go ahead and Create a data source
under that.
In our scenario, we are pulling data from a standard table in the utility system (DBERCHV)
Enter the Operational data provider name as DBERCHV and select the type of data source.(in this
case its Transactional data source)
When you click enter, and data source with the same name is created (in this case DBERCHV)
5) Creation of DSO:
Create a DSO on the BW side as per the requirement (in our case, we have created a DSO named ZODP_SLT)

6) Creation of a Transformation:
In our case, we have created a Transformation from the source table/datasource named DBERCHV and
a target DSO named ZODP_SLT

7) Creation of DTP
Create a DTP on top of the transformation. (here we have a created a DTP
DTP_00O2TFZM3ZEQUMJFM8BUGO96J)
8) Execute the Init load to bring in all the records available in the source table DBERCHV to the target.
Here we can see that 868 records have been uploaded to the target.
This will open up the following Real time data acquisition monitor screen, where you can see that a
period of 2 minutes is set up for the earlier created DTP (DTP_00O2TFZM3ZEQUMJFM8BUGO96J)
10) Now we will have to test the Real Time Replication Behavior.
Real Time Data Replication to BW Using SLT From SAP
Source System (ODP Scenario)
This is just a Demo that I am doing and Hence I will try to inject some dummy data (3 records) to the
source ECC Utility System.
When you refresh in BW side, you can see the 3 new records under the manage screen of the DSO
ZODP_SLT.
Please note that the Request will be in Yellow Status till the next delta load comes into the target.(through
the RDA/Daemon)
Even though the status of the request is yellow, please be informed that all the loaded records are
available for reporting.
Hope You were able to follow the above steps and replicate a similar Real time data replication in your
landscape using SLT/ODP Mechanism.
