HANA System Replication Overview

The document provides an overview of SAP HANA System Replication (HSR). Key points include: - HSR allows configuration of primary and secondary HANA systems for disaster recovery with low recovery time objectives. - It enables live, multi-level replication between systems with synchronized data and logs. Secondary systems can be in standby or read-only mode. - HSR replicates entire systems including all tenants. Primary and secondary systems must have the same configuration and tenants. - Replication can operate in synchronous, asynchronous, or log replay modes to balance consistency and performance.

System Replication Modes
HANA Synchronous Replication:
Host 1 Host 2 Host 1 Host 2
Synchronous in-memory (default)
• Primary commits after secondary receives the logs

Synchronous with full sync Data Data Data Data


• Primary and secondary are in sync, log buffers are written in
Log Log Log Log
both
• Primary waits if secondary system or network link are
down
Asynchronous
• Primary sends log buffers in async mode
• Commit is performed once the logs are sent to secondary

System Replication – Operation Mode

Delta data shipping:


• Secondary persists the received logs Host 1 Host 2 Host 1 Host 2

• Does not apply (replay) the Redo logs until
recovery

LogReplay mode:
• Secondary system replays the received logs
immediately
• Data preloading option can be used to keep
secondary HANA system ready for takeover
• Time for takeover is reduced
