In Supply Chain Management, large volumes of data must be permanently available and changeable. For this reason, an addition has been made to the SAP DB OLTP relational database system to enable actual data structures and data flows (such as networks and relationships) to be mapped more easily and effectively. The product is called liveCache. The liveCache is object-oriented, and in contrast to SAP DB OLTP, stores its data in the main memory of the database system.
The SAP liveCache technology significantly increases the speed of the algorithmically complex, data- and runtime-intensive functions of various SAP applications, especially within SAP Supply Chain Management.
It combines the advantages of main memory-based data retention with a complete operating concept, including backup & recovery. The application functions are provided by database procedures (liveCache Applications) having an extremely fast access to all application data which can completely cached in main-memory and are organized in relational but mainly object oriented manner.
The SAP liveCache technology can be characterized by a hybrid main-memory database with intensive usage of database procedure.
