What data provisioning methods can be selected for real-time replications?

The choice of SAP Landscape Transformation Replication server (SAP SLT) as a method for real-time data replication is well-justified. SLT is specifically designed for real-time data replication in SAP environments. It allows for the seamless transition of data from various sources into SAP HANA databases while ensuring that the data is current and synchronized with the source system.

SLT captures changes in the source system using database triggers or log-based replication approaches, which facilitates minimal latency in data updates. This makes it an ideal option when businesses require timely data for analytics and reporting in their SAP HANA environment.

In contrast, while options such as SAP Replication Server and SAP Data Services offer data replication capabilities, they are generally used for batch processing or non-real-time scenarios. SAP HANA Direct Extractor Connection (DXC) serves a specific purpose of extracting data from SAP BW systems but does not provide the same level of real-time replication capabilities as SLT. Thus, SLT stands out as the most effective solution for organizations looking for real-time data provisioning into SAP HANA.
