SAP offers several options to extract data residing in ABAP-based systems. We will
explore one of these options in this blog : SAP HANA smart data integration
 RSS Feed (SDI). SDI provides tools to access source data and provision, replicate, and
transform that data in SAP HANA on-premise or in the cloud. You can efficiently
connect to many sources to provision and cleanse data for loading into SAP HANA.
For supported systems, you can also write back from HANA to the original source.
In this blog, we will set up the ABAP Adapter for a real time data replication from SAP
ERP to SAP HANA as a Service.

Notes : In this scenario we are replication data from SAP ERP to SAP HANA for
reporting. If you want to migrate an ERP system to S/4HANA, or replicate data in real
time from ERP to S/4HANA, there are other solutions available, such as SAP Data
Services, SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server, and SAP S/4HANA
Migration Cockpit.
Have a look at Migrating data to your (new) SAP S/4HANA
We use the SAP HANA as a service delivered on SAP Cloud Platform Cloud
Foundry environment. It means that we can activate the DP server in one
click, and do not need to import a DP delivery unit to our HANA system.
We use SAP Web IDE Full-Stack as a service from SAP Cloud Platform.
These steps are different if you use an on-premise HANA DB.
Which SDI adapter should you use to

extract data from SAP ERP/SAP BW ?
When you want to access data residing in SAP ERP or SAP BW, SDI offers two
categories of adapters :
ABAP adapter accesses the Application server : you do not require access to the
database to use it. It retrieves data from virtual tables through RFC for ABAP tables
and ODP extractors.
Full-use license from the database is not required.
The ABAP Adapter supports change data capture (CDC) only for ODP extractors.
IBM Db2 Log Reader, Microsoft SQL Server Log Reader, Oracle Log Reader, SAP ASE
adapters access the Database : Full-use license is required from the database
vendor. You need to have access as an admin user to the database. Of course it gives
you access to all information residing in the database (even non-SAP tables). SAP
ERP ECC adapters are a set of data provisioning adapters to provide access to SAP
ECC data and metadata built on top of Data Provisioning log reader adapters for the
same database.
I explained here how to use Oracle adapter to access data residing in an Oracle
database. You can set-up the other database adapters in a similar way.
SDI Standard adapters as of SAP HANA 2.0SPS04

Steps
1) Set up your SAP ERP system
2) Set up your HANA system
3) Download DP agent from SAP Service Marketplace as a ZIP file
4) Configure DP agent
5) Create a remote source
6) Create a replication task
7) Execute the replication task
8) Check the results
Set up your SAP ERP system

Your SAP system PI_BASIS component must be version 701 or higher to use the
ABAP Adapter fully. Refer to note 2166986
You can use RFC streaming to extract data with the ABAP adapter.
When you are NOT using RFC streaming, the whole data set is extracted as one batch
through the ABAP Application server. That process is somewhat faster than using
RFC streaming.
So, non-RFC streaming is faster on small queries, however extracting a whole

recordset at once comes with the obvious requirement to have enough memory for
the whole recordset.
A general rule (depending on the record length) is 1 GB of RAM on the Data

Provisioning Agent machine per 1 million records.
As the data set we wanted to load comprised several million records, it did not fit in
the RAM of the source SAP ERP system and we chose to use RFC streaming. We
recommend using RFC streaming based on the fact that it works for many different
scenarios, small or large queries, multiple concurrent sessions, and so on. Even
though the performance is slower for small queries and it requires extra
configuration on the ECC side.
SAP systems based on ABAP technology provide Operational Data Provisioning

Extractors (ODP Extractors) which allow users to extract data for reporting. They
contain pre-delivered business logic built into the source system to fetch the right
data and preprocess it. They also have a built-in delta mechanism to deliver only the
changes. Learn more about Operational Data Provisioning.
In our case, we wanted to extract data from ABAP tables in real-time, se we had to
wrap an ODP extractor around these particular tables. Extraction directly from ABAP
tables is also supported by the SDI ABAP adapter, but it does not leverage ODP
technology and therefore we cannot have real-time data replication.
To use ODP, the source system should adhere to the requirements posed in SAP Note
2232584 – Release of SAP extractors for operational data.
Create an ODP extractor in your Development landscape (Note 2350464, Note

2232584, Note 1521883, How to create a generic datasource
Transfer the objects to the QC landscape, or Production landscape where you
want replication to happen.
Set-up the Gateway service ECC Client and Gateway Service Configuration
Configure the Access Control List (ACL) that controls which host can connect to
the gateway. That file should contain something similar to the following syntax:
<permit> <ip-address[/mask]> [tracelevel] [# comment]
Configure a reginfo file to control permissions to register external programs.
The host where the Data Provisioning agent is running must have a service
configured with the name matching the remote SAP gateway name.
Finally you need an ERP user with all necessary roles to access data. Find a list of
necessary ERP roles and their details on page 459 of this guide.
To start replicating data in real time from your SAP ERP system, you must have a
data source registered on your SAP Gateway, pointing to an ODP extractor.Make sure
it is real-time enabled.
Set up your HANA system

We use SAP HANA as a service on SAP Cloud Platform for this tutorial.
To replicate the same steps, you will need an SAP Cloud Platform account
with HANA entitlements (You cannot replicate this in a trial account as of
March 2020). Set up the HANA service in SAP Cloud Platform Cloud
Foundry
Once the setup is done, access the space where you deployed the SAP HANA
service. It should be similar to this. Click on the dashboard button for the SAP HANA
service.
From the SAP HANA service dashboard, enable the Data Provisioning Server. Click
Edit and enable.
From this dashboard, you can see all the information relevant to your SAP HANA
database tenant, and you can access the SAP HANA cockpit to perform all database
administrator activities.
At this stage, I accessed the SAP HANA cockpit to create a HANA user for Agent
Messaging, which will be used when setting up the DP agent.
Download DP agent from SAP Service

Marketplace as a ZIP file
The next step is to install DP agent on the server which will be used to replicate data
from SAP ERP to your SAP HANA database. It can be installed on the ERP server, on
a cloud server, or on your own local computer. For this tutorial, we used an AWS
virtual windows machine.
SAP Software Download Center > Software Downloads > Support Packages &

Patches > By Alphabetical Index (A-Z) > H > SAP HANA SDI > SAP HANA
SDI <version_number> > Comprised Software Component Versions > HANA DP
AGENT <version_number>
If you download it as a SAR file, you need to extract the SAR archive with SAPCAR,
using the following command:
SAPCAR -xvf IMDB_DPAGENT200_03P_20-70002517.SAR
Note: DP Agent version must match the Hana version. Which version to use is best
found out by looking at the Product Availability Matrix for Hana SDI.
You must use the Administrator user to install and configure DP Agent.
Find hdbsetup.exe and right click to run as administrator.
Choose install new SAP HANA Data Provisioning Agent and specify the installation
path. I left installation with default setting. -> C:\usr\sap\dataprovagent
Configure DP agent
Configuring the Agent in Command-Line Interactive Mode
Open a terminal in windows.
The command-line agent configuration tool requires

the DPA_INSTANCE environment variable to be set to the installation root location
(<DPAgent_root>).
On windows, open a command prompt.
Set the DPA_INSTANCE
set DPA_INSTANCE=C:\usr\sap\dataprovagent
Navigate to <DPAgent_root>\bin
Start the configuration tool with the –configAgent parameter.
agentcli.bat --configAgent
Make sure the agent is started with option 1. If needed, start the agent with option 2.
Connect the DP agent to SAP HANA with option 6.
Select option 3. Connect to SAP HANA via JDBC.

Select True for the encrypted JDBC connection.
Select True for the WebSocket connection

Enter the Websocket as /service/<service instance ID>. You can find your
<service instance ID> on the SAP HANA service dashboard.
Enter the Websocket host found on the SAP HANA service dashboard, without the
port.
Enter the Websocket port.

You will need an Agent Admin HANA User used for communication between DP
agent and dpserver. The Agent Admin HANA User must have the System
privileges : AGENT ADMIN and ADAPTER ADMIN
You will also need a HANA User for Agent Messaging with the same roles when
doing a JDBC connection. In this case, my HANA user for Agent Messaging is
called JDBCUSR and I created it beforehand within the HANA cockpit.
Come back to the main menu, then register the agent to dpserver active in your
tenant of SAP HANA, by using option 7. You must provide a name for your DP Agent
and the IP address of your Windows host.
Go back to the main menu, then register the adapter that you will use with SAP
HANA by using option 8. You can display all available adapters and register the one
you want to use. Just input its name and it’s done!
The ABAPAdapter gets registered in dpserver.
Create a remote source

The next step is to create a remote source, connecting our HANA database to the
source ERP system.
For this task, I use the SAP Web IDE Full-Stack on SAP Cloud Platform.
Go back to your SAP Cloud Platform cockpit, and select the SAP Web IDE Full-Stack
service.
First, configure your Web IDE to enable the Enterprise Information Management
plug-in and the SAP HANA Database Explorer plugin. This will allow you to create the
replication task later.
Then, you can switch to the database explorer, select your HANA Database and verify
that your agent and adapter are correctly registered.
If no database shows up, check your Cloud Foundry settings in the Web IDE
Workspace preferences.
Now, right-click on remote source and select “create”.
Look at SAP Help to find more information about the ABAP Adapter remote source
parameters.
Make sure to enable streaming read to use RFC Streaming.
The following parameters must be set to have RFC streaming work:

Gateway Server, Gateway Host, RFC Destination
Once your remote source is up and running, you can see ODP extractors and remote
ABAP tables in the Database Explorer.
Create a replication task

Now that your SAP ERP is effectively connected to your SAP HANA database, you
can access data through virtual tables, and you can replicate data to SAP HANA,
through replication tasks and.
Here, we will create a replication task to replicate data in real time from our source.
Switch to the development perspective of the Web IDE.
Right-click on your Workspace folder, and select New > Project from Template.
Select SAP HANA database application as a template, and give your project a name.
Choose your version of SAP HANA, and complete the wizard.
The wizard will create a HANA database module within a new application for you.
This database module is the design time object that will create a HDI container when
you build it later.
A “Container” means that it is isolated from the rest of the database. In order to
access the remote source we created earlier, we need to grant access to the remote
source.
You can give access to the remote source using SQL commands, using the SAP
HANA Cockpit, or with a .hdbgrants file.
In my case, I created a role GEN_GRANTOR_ROLE through the SAP HANA cockpit
which gives access to the remote source. Then I created a new user
GRANTOR_USER, and granted it the role GEN_GRANTOR_ROLE.
Finally I created a user-provided service remote_system_grant_service in the SAP

Cloud Platform Cockpit, which contains the user GRANTOR_USER and its password.
I created a hdbgrants file which automatically assigns the access role

GEN_GRANTOR_ROLE role to my HDI container runtime user.
This way, I can copy/paste this hdbgrants easily when building other HDI containers :
it is now easy to control who has access to my remote source with the hdbgrants file.
Since I call a user-provided service from my .hdbgrants file, I need to add it to the
mta.yaml file.
Once you create the .hdbgrants file and edited your mta.yaml file, right-click your db
module and Build it. This will create the HDI container and give it the permission to
access your remote source.
In case you did not understand how to use the user-provided service and hdbgrants,
have a look at this helpful video.
Right-click on the src folder and select New > Replication Task.
When creating the replication task, you first need to select which remote source you
are replicating.
Select the remote source you created earlier.
Click on the + on the right side of the screen to select the objects you want to
replicate.
Here I replicate the ODP extractor ZSDITEST004. You can choose the replication
behavior, and the name of the Target table for the replication.
Behavior Description

structure
Realtime Enables real-time replication and tracks object-level changes

only with without performing an initial data load. Available when CDC is
structure supported and for tables.
This replication task will create 2 tables on SAP HANA: a virtual table for the remote
object and a physical target table. Set the replication behavior to Initial + real time if
you want to replicate data in near-real time from your ERP system.
Before running the task, you need to set-up some parameters. You can also add one
or more replication objects by selecting the objects and making changes at the
bottom of the screen.
You can partition, create filters, define target options such as truncating or dropping
the target table or changing the load behavior. Partitioning data can be helpful when
you are initially loading a large data set, because it can improve performance and
assist in managing memory usage.
If you choose to create an Initial + realtime task, two separate replication tasks will
take place.
The initial load will happen first, then the ABAP adapter uses a periodic pull
operation to retrieve changed data from the source. You can retrieve changes either
by using a remote subscription or by creating a SELECT statement.
When using a remote subscription, in order to correctly initialize the delta extraction
process, you need to set the extraction name parameter to the remote subscription
value of the subscription, which can be found in the M_REMOTE_SUBSCRIPTIONS
view. You can modify the time interval between pulls using the extraction
period parameter.
When using a SELECT statement to implement change data capture, you need to
include the extraction name and extraction mode parameters.
In the projection area, you can add, edit or remove columns.
Use the Expression Editor to create an expression to enhance or filter the data during
replication. Select the columns that you want to use in your expression. You can drag
and drop the column names from the list and place it in the filter expression box.
Select any operators to complete the expression.
Finally you can choose whether you drop/truncate the table at the beginning of the
execution of the replication task and the load behavior.
Save the replication task, and build the db module again.
This will generate the following objects in your HDI container :
Virtual table(s): Generated in the specified virtual table schema. You can display
the contents of the virtual table in SAP HANA studio.
Remote subscription(s): Generated in the schema selected for the virtual table.
This is generated when options including a real time replication are selected.
Task(s): Generated in the same schema as the target table.
Target table(s): Populated with the content after execution.
Procedure: Generated in the schema of the target table, the procedure performs
three functions.
Execute the replication task

Right-click on your .reptask file and select Run > Execute Reptask.
This executes the procedure of the replication task, performs the initial data load and
then starts the remote subscription to replicate data in real time.
Check the results

Switch to the Database explorer, and click the + to add a new container.
Select the container you just created, and choose a name to show in Display.
I called this one “replication”.
You can see the tables and virtual tables created. Click open data to verify that your
data is correctly being replicated.
This is the task which starts the remote subscription.
Finally, by opening the remote subscription, you can check the replicated data count
and the time since the last message arrived.
By right clicking remote subscriptions, you can select “Show Remote subscriptions”.
This gives you more detail about the current state of the subscription.
Learn more about monitoring data provisioning with SAP Web IDE.
You can measure trends by issuing the following SQL statements.
ALTER REMOTE SOURCE <remote_source_name> START LATENCY MONITORING <lat
It collects latency statistics one time or at regular intervals. You can specify a target
latency ticket in the monitoring view. You can see the result with the following
statement :
SELECT * From "SYS"."M_REMOTE_SOURCE_LATENCY_HISTORY"
And now that your data is replicated in real-time, you can use it within SAP HANA for
reporting or analytics. For us, the next step was to create calculation views, a
connection to SAP Analytics Cloud, and dashboards in SAC.
Here is a video of a flowgraph replicating data from S/4HANA ACDOCA to HANA

Hi Maxime
Very informative blog.
I am working on SDI where I’m trying to connect the ECC system using ASE Adapter and found that realtime
with structure changes are not supported, thus ABAP adapter support this feature?

Hi Maxime
In this blog you didn't mention. where is your SAP ERP system? is on premise or its in cloud? how could you
connect from the HCP Database explorer to an SAP ERP on premise (for example). I see it asks for parameters
like application server, client, sysnumber etc. But it only will be possible to reach if you are in the On premise
system network or if it was a public direction. Thats my question. How could you create the Remote Data
Sources if you are on SCP and your remote/backend is an on-premise system.

Hello, for this blog I used 3 different systems
1. SAP HANA as a Service on SAP Cloud Platform Cloud Foundry Tokyo region
2. SAP ERP ECC 6.0 on-premise behind a firewall
3. Windows server with SDI Data Provisioning Agent installed, within the firewall of SAP ERP.
The ERP system communicates only with the SDI Data Provisioning Agent. The Data Provisioning
Agent communicates with ERP, and via JDBC with SAP HANA.
As you said, it is only possible to reach the ERP system if the Data Provisioning Agent is installed on
the same on-premise network.

Hi Maxime,
With the ABAPAdapter created, i don't see an option to input SAPRouterString in addition to Application
Server.
Is this the expected behaviour and is by design.
Regards,
RL

Hello,
according to this help page, A route string describes a connection required between two hosts using
one or more SAProuters.
When extracting data from an SAP ERP through the SDI ABAP Adapter, HANA does not use an SAP
router.
If you check the list of parameters available in the ABAP Adapter, there is no mention of
SAPRouterString. It is the expected behavior.

Hi Maxime, great blog! I am missing something. So far I have the exact same setup. Connections are working.
Replication task created and when executed it also fetches data. Now if I change sth im ECC, I do not get any
changes. besides that the ODQMON gets a growing number of subscriptions on my data source. Do you have
any hints?

Thanks Maxime, I understand that using ABAP adapter, I can pull data either from Business content
Extractors or direct from ABAP tables. In case of extractor, it comes up with predefined logic which can help to
reduce the processing work in HANA, In other case of ABAP tables, will be doing all joins and etc. in HANA.
If my reporting requirement is more standard and it is fulfilled by Extractor logic, then ODP-extractor option is
more feasible one than other? or considering the future direction for extractors, is it more safe and flexibility
to use ABAP table extraction?
Thanks

Hi Maxime,
great guide and great tool this ABAP Adapter. We are using it intensively and it's a brilliant peace of software.
But would you be able to tell if there is a similar Adapter to connect to the DB behind the S4 HANA Cloud?
Thanks,
Julian

Hello,
a quick google search showed you already asked the question here, and the answers provided are
correct : the underlying HANA database of S/4HANA Cloud is not exposed.
With HANA Smart Data Integration, we recommend using the Odata adapter or the Cloud Data
Integration adapter to access OData services on S/4HANA Cloud.

Hi Maxime,
correct. I asked a similar question before.
But you answer is different and much better: The DB is not accessible (fair!) but the OData
adapter does the trick. I have some concerns about performance, but we're going to check
this out.
Thank you!

Hi Maxime Simon,
We are following your blog to have the realtime replication (delta changes) in HANA cloud from ABAP backend
system.
We found that there is entry being created for the delta records in remote subscription. But when we are
executing the replication task it only executes the full load procedure function
(<reptask>.START_REPLICATION). That means only the full load task is being executed.
So, I’m trying to execute the other procedure (<reptask>.RS_SP) manually in SQL console, which I believe
responsible for delta (real time) changes.
There I need some input, what I can use as ACTION parameter value '???'
CALL "<container_name>"."<namespace>.<folder>::<reptask>.RS_SP"(SUBSCRIPTIONNAMES =>

array(‘REMOTE_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME'),ACTION => '???')
FYI.. when executing reptask from BAS, the realtime (delta) task is not being created automatically, that’s why
I’m trying to execute it manually as above.
Your inputs would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hello,
I do not have experience with executing both procedures manually.
If replication tasks do not get created/executed properly from Business Application Studio, I
recommend you create an incident with SAP Support explaining the situation. Support will provide
you a solution.
