QuestionAnswer
Real-time replication tool with trigger-based technology that captures all updates, inserts, and deletes for a table that is in replication. The cornerstone of XXXXXXX replication technology is both an effective, zero-impact data change capturing technology and a robust data replication process.SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT)
Real-time replication and ETL tool from both SAP and non-SAP sources, replicating exclusively to a single SAP HANA instance. XXXXXXX and XXXXXX load data, in batch or real-time, into HANA (on premise or in the cloud) from a variety of sources using pre-built and custom adapters.SAP HANA Smart Data Integration (SDI)
a XXXXXXX process inside HANA platform. When SAP HANA is first installed, the XXXXXXX is disabled. Enabling the XXXXXX gives you the ability to use SDI, not needed for SDA.HANA Data Provisioning Server
The XXXXXX is a separately installed container running outside the SAP HANA environment, and it is managed by the Data Provisioning Server.Data Provisioning Agent
SAP HANA system replication provides the possibility to copy and continuously synchronize (synchronous and asynchronous) a SAP HANA database to a secondary location in the same or another data centre. Usually system replication is used to support high availability and disaster recovery.SAP HANA System Replication (HSR)
XXXXXXXX is a data integration and ETL tool that was previously known as ActaWorks. The tool makes available data integration, data quality management, and text analytics. Removing the need for hand coding, and writing complex algorithms to manage, and cleanse data.SAP Data Integrator
XXXXXX consists of a hub and spoke structure; the spokes connect with external systems while the hub exchange messages between them. The source system is known as the sender system and the target system is known as the receiver system. The XXXX is not a single component, but rather a collection of components that work together flexibly to implement integration scenarios. The architecture includes components to be used at design time, at configuration time and at run time.SAP NetWeaver Process Integration
XXXXXX replicates committed database transactions. In Sybase ASE, a built-in replication agent continuously monitors the database transaction log for newly committed transactions that have been marked for replication. When it finds one, the replication agent sends it to the XXXXXX process that runs somewhere outside ASE. XXXXX will then forward the transaction to the designated replicate database and apply it.Sybase Replication Server
XXXXXXX service helps you to connect cloud and on-premise applications with other SAP and non-SAP cloud and on-premise applications. This service has the capabilities to process messages in real-time scenarios spanning different companies, organizations, or departments within one organization.SAP Cloud Integration
XXXXXXX lets you integrate data, orchestrate data processing, and manage metadata across your enterprise data sources and your data lakes. It lets you build powerful data pipelines, as well as manage, share and distribute data.SAP Data Hub (Intelligence)
- Intelligent Data Warehouse: Integrate and use new data sources with existing enterprise data stores. SAP Data Hub is tightly integrated with enterprise apps (such as SAP S/4HANA and SAP BW4/HANA), and has been developed specifically to handle the high-volume of data that are stored in distributed data lakes. - Data Science and Machine Learning: SAP Data Hub comes with prebuilt machine learning library integrations (such as TensorFlow and SAP Leonardo Machine Learning Foundation) that you can use to build data science scenarios seamlessly.Use Cases for Data Hub (Intelligence)
Provides a real-time access to data located outside of the SAP HANA database, without having to replicate the data to SAP HANA (physical data movement is not supported), so it is a data federation tool. Once you have configured XXXXXXXX you can read as well as update the data using virtual tables in remote sources. Virtual table can be manipulated by SAP HANA just like an ordinary table, which means the operations, such as select, update, insert, delete, and so on, are all available for virtual table. It can be used in calculation or CDS views or it can feed data to BW aDSO objects in BW/4HANA application.SAP HANA Smart Data Access (SDA)

complete ETL tool, supports data replication in batch mode, but real-time replication is limited to web servicesSAP Data Services
have the capability to do near-real-time data replicationSLT and SDI
Supports real-time replication but has an option to execute even in batch modeSDI
real-time replication with ____ is not applicable for all data sources.SDI
has very minimal transformation options that can be done only through ABAP. In other words, ____ is more suited for data replication than transformation.SLT
When it comes to transforming, cleaning and integrating data, _____ wins hands down as it offers a wide variety of data integration and data quality transform options.SAP Data Services
_____ comes second with almost equal number of transform options available to integrate and cleanse data.SDI
The best use case scenario for _____ has always been connecting from SAP ECC to HANA in a side car implementation. This does not mean that ____ can only be used for SAP source systems. It can also be used for a quite a few non-SAP systems like Oracle, DB2 etc.SLT
Its focus is on batch performance, transformations and connectivity to every possible source/target.SAP Data Services
The product’s sweet spot is ABAP to ABAP realtime replicationSLT
Main use case for _____ is a multi source/target replication. Supports the most common databases only.Sybase Replication Server
This tool does actually play in another league, it is an Enterprise Application Integration tool, not a Data Integration tool.SAP PI
This feature enables the use of virtual tables in HANASmart Data Access (SDA)
This solution is a natural part of HANA and extends HANA SDA. Therefore all HANA products and applications can take full advantage of its capabilities just like _____ does utilize other HANA features.Smart Data Integration (SDI)
more focused on these kinds of source which produce millions of rows per second and not database sources. It does support reading from databases as well but just to lookup master data, not to subscribe to database changes.Smart Data Streaming (SDS)
