Updating Remote Tables during SAP BW/4HANA Model Import
In an agile business world, changed requirements might lead to the need of changing object definitions in your systems. For remote tables that have been created during SAP BW/4HANA model import, SAP Data Warehouse Cloud is now able to handle such changes. When underlying sources of remote tables change their column definitions, you can now easily update the remote tables when re-importing the model. For more information, see
Importing SAP BW/4HANA Models.

Remote Query Monitor
With the
Remote Query Monitor now available in the
Data Monitor Integration, you can monitor the communication between the federation layer of SAP HANA Cloud and the connected remote source systems. This provides better insight for analysis of performance bottlenecks and error communications while running federated queries in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud . For more information, see

Changing the Owner of a Schedule
The job scheduling component of SAP Data Warehouse Cloud runs scheduled tasks on behalf of the owner of the schedule. Per default, the user who creates a schedule is the owner of the schedule. You can now change the owner if required to make sure that scheduled tasks continue to run smoothly when a user left the organization, for example. For more information, see
Change Owner of a Schedule.

Pausing Real-Time Replication for a Data Provisioning Agent
Whenever you need to upgrade or patch your SAP HANA Smart Data Integration Data Provisioning agent, or you need to apply any changes to its configuration, you can do that without impacting your active real-time replications. Just pause real-time replication for all connections that use the agent all at once, apply the changes to your agent, and restart real-time replication. For more information, see
