Automate OData Services Replication to SAP HANA

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live OData services into your SAP HANA instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

Getting Started

---

Configure SAP HANA as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate OData services to SAP HANA. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select SAP HANA as a destination.
3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to SAP HANA, set the following:
   • Server: The IP address or name of the server you want to connect to.
   • Port: The port where the server is running.
   • Database: The name of the database.
   • User: The username of a user with read/write access to the database.
   • Password: The password of a user with read/write access to the database.
4. Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save Changes.

Configure the OData Connection

You can configure a connection to OData from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your OData account, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select a source (OData).
3. Configure the connection properties.
   
   

   The User and Password properties, under the Authentication section, must be set to valid OData user credentials. In addition, you will need to specify a URL to a valid OData server organization root or OData services file.

4. Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save Changes.

Configure Replication Queries

CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. For each replication you wish to configure, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.

Replicate Entire Tables

To replicate an entire table, click Add Tables in the Tables section, choose the table(s) you wish to replicate, and click Add Selected Tables.

Customize Your Replication

You can use the Columns and Query tabs of a task to customize your replication. The Columns tab allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. The Query tab allows you to add filters, grouping, and sorting to the replication.

Schedule Your Replication

In the Schedule section, you can schedule a job to run automatically, configuring the job to run after specified intervals ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.

Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of your OData services to PostgreSQL.
