SAP HANA – SLT Configuration

SLT will work on based on the trigger based concept

SAP LT is trigger based and Real time replication method.
SLT stands for SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server (SLT) running on the Net Weaver Platform. SLT is the ideal solution for all HANA customers who need real-time (and non-real-time) data replication sourcing from SAP ERP or non-SAP systems into HANA
SLT replication system is connected with Source SAP ECC system by RFC (Remote Function call) connection and with target HANA system by DB Connection. In case of NON-SAP source system SLT connect with DB connection.
SAP source system contains Application tables, logging tables, and triggers and read module.
SLT server contains Control Module (Structure mapping & Transformation) and Writer module. In case of Non-SAP source system, Read Module resides in SLT System.
When replication start, logging table and trigger created in source system and data gets replicated to target system via SLT replication server and any changes in source system gets automatically replicated to target system.

SLT Replication server configuration

1. Start load

Open the SLT Configuration -> select the data provisioning option -> start load

If we are using start load first create the table in target system (HANA) and it will not create logging tables and triggers.

We can load the delta records into target system (HANA)

2. Start Replication

If you use start replication it will create the table in HANA system

It will create the triggers for each record insert, update, delete

It will create the logging tables

Whenever records insert or delete or update it will trigger and trigger update material number, timestamp in the logging tables

Ex table – MARA

Logging table for MARA

Logging table will create based on the primary key of MARA table

In MARA table MADNT and MATNR both are initial values

Logging table for MARA /1CADMC/00001607

Trigger for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE

3. Stop Load/Replication

If you are using stop load and replicate for table it will delete table form the SLT configuration

Means it will delete logging table and triggers

Before stop load/ Replication first replicate the table using Start replication – EKKO

Logging tables and triggers are created

After use the stop load/ Replication for table – EKKO

Now table was deleted from the SLT Configuration, deleted logging tables and triggers.

4. Suspend Load/ Replication

If you are using suspend load and replication it will not delete logging tables and triggers but delta loads are not move to HANA system (target system)

Those records still in source system (ECC System) if use above option
