Using SLT to load data into SAP HANA

SLT stands for SAP Landscape Transformation. We use this technique for real-time replication of the data from source systems—SAP/non-SAP. This method is primarily used for replication from SAP source systems. Apart from real-time replication, we can also use SLT for batch mode loads as well. When the required landscape contains both real-time and batch mode, SLT is the best. This recipe shows us how to load data into SAP HANA using SLT.

Getting ready

In order to load data using SLT, we must first ensure that real-time data loading is required. Also, the exact number of tables that have to be replicated should be known before going for SLT; replicating unnecessary tables involves a higher cost.

How to do it…

We will now see the steps to configure SLT and replicate data in SAP HANA.
