Non-ABAP Source System SAP LT Replication Server Target Systems

SAP LT Replication Server transfers all metadata table definitions from the non-ABAP source system to the HANA system. From the HANA Studio perspective, non-SAP
source replication works the same as for SAP sources. When a table replication is started, SAP LT Replication Server creates logging tables in the source system. The
read engine is created in the SAP LT Replication Server. The connection the non-SAP source system is established as a database connection.

New filter options for the replication process of transparent and pool tables

 In the 'Performance Options' of the 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.

Demo

Simplified data type mapping for target data types

 The 'Target DB Type' field under 'Table Fields' must no longer contain any field names.

DMIS2011 ≤ SP12 DMIS2011 ≥ SP13

 Use report IUUC_FIX_FIELDNAME_MAPPING to apply the new format for the 'Target DB Type' field
automatically.

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ EXTERNAL 18

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.

New data provisioning options 'Start Recording' and 'Start Replication
Without Initial Load'

 These 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.

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ EXTERNAL 20

Case-sensitive tables and special data types supported for the ODP scenario

 Case-sensitive source table names are supported

 Support of data types (QUAN/CURR) with reference fields

 Prerequisite: SAP Note 2406890 – “DDIC types derived from ODP only with DDIC structure”.

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ EXTERNAL 21

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
the 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.

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ EXTERNAL 22

Updated authorization concept

 Authorization object S_DEVELOP is no longer required for standard SLT roles SAP_IUUC_REPL_REMOTE
and SAP_IUUC_REPL_ADMIN; S_DEVELOP is therefore no longer included in these two roles.

DMIS2011 ≤ SP12 DMIS2011 ≥ SP13

 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 SLT configuration setup.

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ EXTERNAL 23

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.

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.

* This feature is also available as downport for DMIS2011 SP11 and SP12 (see SAP Note 2468382)

© 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ EXTERNAL 25

Enhanced 'Display Table' information

 Display source table information in case of database connection to the source system.
 Display size and number of records information from target tables.
