1 Business Context, Document Purpose and Scope
1.1 Document Purpose & Scope
This document contains the required configuration to enable SLT replication from a source system to the HANA
target database.
This configuration is required in the context of replicating ECC and CRM tables to CAR HANA Database using
real-time replication mode on SLT.
2 General remarks
2.1 High level architecture
SLT is able to replicate data between multiple sources to multiple targets – SAP and non-SAP. The following
shows the typical connection between SLT and the source and target systems:
The following roles and authorizations have to be assigned to the different users to ensure a proper replication
scenario:
2.2 Pre-requisites
1. Create an RFC destination from SLT to the source SLT of the replication
2. Collect and define the following details about the target HANA database for the replication
a. Configuration name (corresponds to the name of the schema generate in HANA)
b. Number of Data Transfer jobs (based on number of tables to be replicated)
c. HANA Database Hostname (master node in case of scale-out)
d. Instance/system number
e. Password of HANA System user
3. Activate the following services form the transaction SICF
a. /sap/public/myssocntl
b. /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/iuuc_replication_config
c. /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/iuuc_helpcenter_document
d. /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/iuuc_repl_mon_powl
e. /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/iuuc_helpcenter
f. /sap/public/mysso/cntl
g. /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/iuuc_repl_mon_schema_oif
h. /sap/public/bc/ur
i. /sap/public/bc/icons
j. /sap/public/bc/icons_rtl
k. /sap/public/bc/webicons
l. /sap/public/bc/pictograms
m. /sap/public/bc/webdynpro
3 Configuration
1. Go to transaction LTRC
2. Click on the button Create New Configuration
3. Click on the menu bar on Action à Create New Configuration
4. Fill all the required inputs as shown below
The selection of “Allow Multiple Usage” is quite important. It allows the usage of the same RFC
connection configuration for multiple replication into different targets, i.e. ERP data into BW and ERP
at the same time.
“Read from Single Client” would only take data from selected source client. As client info is replicated
anyhow in addition with all replicated data, the target application is taking care of using only client
specific data in the target scenario.
The rule of thumb for the number of transfer jobs is roughly 1 job per 10 tables to be replicated.
5. Save the configuration.
4 Configuration checks
The configuration can tested using the following checks.
1. From transaction LTR check if
2. From transaction LTRC access to the configuration just created (providing he correct Mass Transfer
ID) and check that initial technical tables are in replication mode.
3. Login to the target HANA Database and check the schema just created (same name as the
Configuration Name). In particular check if the tables DD02L, DD02T and DD08L have been created
and contains entries.
To speed up initial data load of tables, the number of calculation jobs can be increased until the initial load has
been done.
5 Replication scenarios
5.1 Replication scenario ERP à SLT à BW
As an example a screenshot has been attached to show the created configuration for ERP replication into BW
in the pre-production environment.
The following tables have been requested from Reporting stream to be replicated into BW with real time
replication setting:

5.2 Replication scenario ERP à SLT à CAR

5.3 Replication scenario CRM à SLT à CAR
5.4 Schema Mappings
The schema mappings have to be done via HANA studio. This is quite important to ensure that the applications
are able to access the appropriate date.
The physical schema name is dependent on the SLT configuration name and has to be mapped to the
SAP_XXX authoring schema name.
6 CAR table partitioning
The following note is relevant to partition table TLOGF and TLOGF_EXT:
1719282 - POS TLOG Table Partitioning Information.
This note provides information on how to partition the following TLOG tables:
• /POSDW/TLOGF: Stores transaction information received from the POS on the SAP HANA database
• /POSDW/TLOGF_EXT: Stores customer extensions on the SAP HANA database
The second partitioning level is to remain within the physical bounds that apply to table size with respect to the
number of entries, the physical bounds of the overall number of partitions, and a heuristic to keep low the
overhead for partitioning results consolidation. We recommend that you only use partitioning if a table or
partition has more than 250 million entries. The maximum number of entries for a table or partition should be
1,000 million in order to avoid the physical limit of 2 to the power of 31 entries.
To determine the number of partitions required for the /POSDW/TLOGF and /POSDW/TLOGF_EXT tables,
consider the following inputs:
• D : number of days data kept in system = 45 days
• T : number of transactions created per day = 2100
• E : average number of table entries, E is MAX(15+5*N,X) where X is the number of extension fields
per transaction
o E = 21000 transactions per day * 36 stores * (15+5*6 items per transaction) = 34.020.000 per
day = 1530.900.000 table entries per 45 days
Creating empty partitions will not harm the system
It is also recommended to plan for the future and start with the future setup already than re-partitioning later
on. Adding the empty partitions is definitely the right choice!
Only the slave nodes shall contain data
In the setup given, this means that the data is distributed over 2 nodes (in the note’s formula: variable M = 2)
Consider the slave node amount (variable M) when determining the target time range for partitioning
Weekly partitioning would result in ~119 mio. records per partition (34.020.000 records/day * 7 days / 2).
To get closer to the minimum recommended partition size, on could choose two weeks per partition.

PARTITION OTHERS);
6.2 Relocating Partitions
Move the partitions across the nodes with SQL statements like
alter table "SAP<SID>"."/POSDW/TLOGF"
move partition 1 to HANASRV2:3<instance_no>03 physical;
alter table "SAP<SID>"."/POSDW/TLOGF_EXT"
move partition 1 to HANASRV2:3<instance_no>03 physical;
6.3 Archiving
As the POS data are transferred from POS via WS middleware as individual IDOC´s in realtime – roughly 50
Mio IDOC´s will be stored per day in CAR.
The attached document describes the archiving procedure for IDOC and also TLOGF and TLOGF_EXT table.
Relevant objects:
- Archiving TLOGF - Chapter 2 without deletion
- Archiving Inbound IDoc /POSDW/POSTR_CREATEMULTIPLE05 and optional all Outbound IDOCs
WPU* - Chapter 4
Please keep attention on system growth and empty/drop old partitions after the 45
days to keep the system memory stable on meaningful capacity level !

7.1.3 ERP tables to BW
Replicate the ECC table into BW schema SAP_ECC (via schema mapping):
SAP_ECC.T001
SAP_ECC.TCURF
SAP_ECC.TCURN
SAP_ECC.TCURR
SAP_ECC.TCURV
SAP_ECC.TCURX
SAP_ECC.BKPF
SAP_ECC.BSAD
SAP_ECC.BSID
SAP_ECC.DD02L
SAP_ECC.DD02T
7.2 Maintain DB connection in SLT
Use TNX DBCO to display and maintain DB Connection settings
7.3 Reload data, but don't re-create table in HANA
Use case:
Load ended in ERROR and you want to keep the target table structure and do e.g. one of the following
• re-create the error
• check if error still exists
• restart the load if the error has been corrected
Why only data reload?
• table structure could have been changed in HANA by customer
• if 'stop' + 'replicate' in HANA Studio -> drop/re-create of table (customer changes are lost)
Process
Only works if table is still on 'load' status (TA IUUC_SYNC_MON -> relevant tables -> process option =
COMPLETE - does not work if in DELTA)!
• delete data in HANA (only data not table)
• right-click on table
• select 'Delete'
• select 'Delete All Rows'
• reset FAILED/ERROR flag in SLT (TA MWBMON -> Expert Functions -> Reset all Loaded Indicator;
set ACP ID to 1)
• re-load automatically restarts
7.4 Transformation rules during replication
In the current scenario the data are replicated from client to client without changing any information like client
info.
Transaction LTRS allows to apply any kind of rule during replication process, for example like mapping the
ERP client to CAR client.
