Real time reporting with standard extractors - SLT / RDA

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We are planning for latest versions for BW on HANA..

BW 7.4 SP3

HANA SPS06 revision 61

SLT version (not sure )

We have lot of real time requirement in various functional areas. I read about recent direction from SAP about SLT / RDA and real time reporting.

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60fa87c9-3084-3010-fc97-9129aacab...

Is this generally available....For real time replication into data source using RDA/SLT....Can this be used for complex FI-GL, Sales related extractors.

Has anybody used this so far.....especially for logistics extractors?

Thanks .

Abhi,

Few key points. SLT and RDA are two standalone options for real-time replication of data into SAP HANA and SAP BW respectively

SLT is only relevant in an SAP HANA landscapte and RDA ( real-time data acquisition) is applicable only in BW scenario without HANA.

Please let me know if you have additional question with specific landscape details so that I can share my experience in context to your environment, if I have any.

Hope this helps!

Hello Rama,

Thanks for your directions. If you look at the link which i have in my original post, I see SAP is trying to combine SLT and RDA for BW on HANA...>So that overall extraction can be real time in majority of scenarios. My key requirement is for Logistics sales related areas - to have real time extraction. I don't want to re-invent extractor logic in HANA models.

Thanks.

See:

Note 1826585 - SLT Replication for SAP BW (PSA)

As per the deck you referenced, I don't think this is really (at this point) suitable for the LBWE-type or  replacement of many content extractors which are 'logic-intensive'.

So if we want to have real-time replication of Logistics extractors / data......so far HANA / SLT can't help......

Reinventing all standard GL/SD extractors into HANA models will be a nightmare.

I know there's operational reporting RDS - but it looked expensive - 200k...

Abhijeet,

Please do not look at RDS cost only. There are additional objects delivered out of the box with RDS like reports, dashboards which make it a good deal or in other words...it is worth it...

Take a closer look at RDS 1st to see whether you can leverage RDS content.

Let me know if you need additional details on GL/SD RDS content.

Good luck!
