1 New Filter Options for the Replication of
Transparent and Pool Tables
In the Performance Options of Advanced Replication Settings (transaction LTRS), a new tab Filter Options has
been added. You can now specify filters also for the replication process of transparent tables and pool tables. For
cluster and INDX-like tables, you still have to specify filter rules in the Rule Assignment section.

2 Simplified Data Type Mapping for Target
Data Types
In the Table Options of Advanced Replication Settings (transaction LTRS), the Target DB Type field under Table
Fields must no longer contain any field names.
You can use report IUUC_FIX_FIELDNAME_MAPPING to apply the new format for the Target DB Type field
automatically.

3 Enhanced Features and Usability
Improvements for INDX-like Table
Replication
When adding a table to INDX-like table settings, you can now specify only the RELIDs that you need. You can also
add more RELIDs for a table later if required.
A new column Map Key Fields has been added to specify key mapping for each RELID and component
combination.
Transferring data for INDX-tables whose RELID and component combinations have nested structures is now
supported.

4 New Data Provisioning Options 'Start
Recording' and 'Start Replication Without
Initial Load'
The following options can help to simplify a system refresh, or OS/DB migration, or to simply avoid the initial load
process:
Start Recording: Only create logging table and trigger in the source system to capture all changes of a table.
Start Replication (w/o Load): start the replication of a table which has only been recorded. There will be no
initial load. Therefore, only changes registered in the logging table will be transferred to the target table.
Case-sensitive source table names are supported, as are data types (QUAN/CURR) with reference fields
Prerequisite: SAP Note 2406890 - DDIC types derived from ODP only with DDIC structure.

6 Enhancements for Trigger Configuration
Blacklist trigger settings (use case: prevent replication process in case data aging fields are changed; available
only for ABAP-based SAP source systems running on SAP HANA) are shared by all configurations which use the
same source table in the same source system.
Archive trigger settings (use case: prevent the deletion of records in the target system which are archived in th e
source system) and trigger option settings are shared by all configurations that are located in the same SAP LT
Replication Server system and use the same source table in the same source system.

7 Updated Authorization Concept
Authorization object S_DEVELOP is no longer required for standard SAP LT Replication Server roles
SAP_IUUC_REPL_REMOTE and SAP_IUUC_REPL_ADMIN; S_DEVELOP is therefore no longer included in these two
roles.
A user that is assigned to the updated standard role SAP_IUUC_REPL_ADMIN requires the additional assignment
of activity 33 (Read) of the authorization object S_DMC_S_R in order to connect to a database source as part of
the SAP LT Replication Server configuration setup.

8 Improved Usability to Stop/Suspend and
Resume the Replication of a Table
On the Table Overview tab in transaction LTRC, a new context-sensitive button called Actions has been added as a
shortcut to stop, resume, or suspend the replication process for a table.

9 Additional Checks in the Health Check
Framework
The master job will now automatically be restarted if the respective health check detects that the job is not active
but should be active.
Load jobs which are running for more than 24 hours (e.g. due to being stuck at a RFC / DB connection) are now
detected and an error message is displayed that includes possible steps to solve the issue.
In case a health check notification request has been configured, but the health check job is not running, an e -mail
notification will be triggered that informs the user that health check job is not running.
Note that this feature is also available as downport for DMIS2011 SP11 and SP12 (see SAP Note 2468382)

10 Enhanced 'Display Table' Information
If the source system is connected by means of a database connection to the source system, you can view table
information. You can view the size and the size and the number of records from target tables.
