Hi,
Has anyone successfully connected SAP SLT directly to Hadoop or other big data services where the big data is the target? We have a scenario where our SAP OER will produce millions of records of which we wish to report against but see that the scale, ie number of records plus the data retention requirements will mean a typical SAP BW and or a SAP HANA will not be a viable architecture.
So is SLT a contender, excluding potential license discussions?
Thanks
Brian
Hi,
not out of the box, because there is no db connection for NW to Hadoop available.
But there could be two options to achieve it.
1.) Use SLT + Data Services - SLT feeds delta realtime data to DS and DS can push it into Hadoop.
2.) Build ABAP code within SLT to call a webservice and push it to Hadoop or anywhere else.
Best,
Tobias

Tobias - I recall you mentioning in another post about the possibility of replicating to non-HANA targets on a project by project basis. Is ECC -> Hadoop replicaton ever going to be supported (even on the horizon), or are there any avenues to pursue further?
Can you elaborate further on your two options mentioned?

Justin
Hi Justin,
with the gerneral replication to non-ABAP DBs as a target we made some good movements and got a lot of experience within the last year in customer projects. Despite that we do not plan to release it with the next SP version unrestrictedly because we did not test all available setups so far. So we cannot brand it as out-of-the-box working from a legal perspective. Anyhow when you have a scenario with the replication to non-ABAP just conctact us, ususally we did with the common databases already some customer projects and can enable it without any efforts.
For the general strategy it is planned to release it unrestricted with SP9 mid of 2015. Technically it is alreay working.
When I talked about non-ABAP DB it is only the DB's that are supported by NW (Oracle, MS SQL, IBM, ASE, MaxDB, Informix). All other DB's are only supported if the SAP basis team would deliver a library that allows SLT to connect to this DB. Hadoop is not include - unfortunately we are dependent on this team and their strategy.
Best,
Tobias
Hi Tobias,
What about Hadoop as data source to replicate data into HANA? I saw it appears in SLT long term roadmap. Do you have already experience via customer projects? Is it possible to get support via MaxAtt services? Is it also trigger based or a combined solution with SDI Hive Adaptor? Is there any solution via Spark ?

Hi Tobias,
We are planning to pull some data from SAP ECC to Big Data via SLT.
Could you please share any documents that you may have, for implementing the second option
2.) Build ABAP code within SLT to call a webservice and push it to Hadoop or anywhere else.
Even a little more information would be helpful.
Thanks
Padma
