Set up a source endpoint for SAP Application (DB)

Before you can configure the SAP Application (DB) endpoint, you first need to configure one of the following backend source endpoints, according to your SAP Package type:

• Oracle

  Information note

  When using Oracle as the backend database, any tables you want to capture must be defined with ALL COLUMN SUPPLEMENTAL LOGGING.

• SAP HANA

  Information note

  When using SAP HANA as the backend database, the following limitations apply when the SAP HANA endpoint is configured to use Log-based CDC mode:

  • Replicate creates a hana__row_id column on the target as a Unique Index and changes the original Primary Key/Unique Index to a standard column.
  • Table DDLs are not supported and will be ignored
  • Replication of transparent tables only is supported

  • The Apply Conflicts error-handling policy for No record found for applying DELETE and No record found for applying an UPDATE must be st to Ignore record.
