Note

  • Starting with Syniti Replicate v10.7.0.4, Syniti now supports SAP ECC via Remote Function Calls (RFC) through the new Syniti Data Provider driver.

  • For Syniti Replicate versions higher than 10.7.0.4, the new Syniti Data Provider is used by default, while in previous versions, the default selection is CData Driver.

Overview

This article provides essential information for setting up replications using SAP ECC as a source application using the Refresh and Mirroring (based on the Change Data Capture (CDC) capability) replication modes. The same functionality is also supported for SAP S/4HANA systems.

Syniti Replicate v10.7.0.4 or later supports the extraction of data from SAP ECC through the application layer using RFC. Syniti Migrate and SAP Advanced Data Migration & Management (ADMM) is integrated with Syniti Replicate to support the Snapshot Management process in Migrate, that is, the orchestration and movement of the data and metadata, from the source and target systems involved in the migration to a corresponding SRC or TRG staging database.

This topic focuses on the capabilities and setup of the Syniti Replicate software to support ingestion from SAP Applications via RFC communication in SAP ECC systems. The solution supports the following SAP ECC Applications data objects:

Data Objects

Supported Replication Modes

Transparent Tables

Refresh and Mirroring

Pool Tables

Refresh

Cluster Tables

Refresh

Long Texts

Refresh

The initial setup described below is required prior to Migrate running an SAP application-level extraction as part of the Snapshot Management process.

Prerequisites

SAP Environment Transport Installation

Syniti transports are compatible with SAP installations of ECC6 SAP ECC Basis. Install the provided transport on the SAP Application Server. The transport files are listed below. To complete the installation, contact your Basis team.

Custom SAP Read Table Function - Last update October 2025.

Initial Installation

Note

Using the initial transport, you can extract data through the Refresh replication process using the standard RFC extraction method. To enhance performance, Syniti recommends implementing Streaming technology.

SAP Long Text Query Extraction

  • Import Transport SD2K901694 for SAP ECC6 SAP Basis 7.0 and higher containing SAP Query BOAQ_READ_TEXT in User Group /BOA/QUERY. Click here to download the transport.

  • SD2K901694 includes sub-packages /BOA/ZRFC_READ_TEXT_V2 and /BOA/RFCTEXT_V2.

  • Use this link to download transports package including all Transports used for Namespace, Streaming, Mirroring, Long Text Query and the user guide.  

Note

The standard RFC_READ_TABLE function does not require a transport to be installed. However, this function will only work on tables where the returned data is limited to 512 bytes.

Appendix

Appendix A: Troubleshooting

Known Issue: SAP connection using SNC

When connecting to SAP systems using SNC with the latest versions of the SAP RFC SDK dll’s there is a connection failure due to a missing parameter that was previously automatically set by the dll. The workaround for this issue is to request the SAP RFC SDK (Patch 7) dll from Syniti support.

Appendix B: Manual Configuration of Services for SAPLogon

If SAPLogon is not installed or you need to connect to an SAP backend system, for which SAPLogon does not have the necessary information, you must create the required entries manually.

Refer to Manual Configuration of Services for SAPLogon for more information on manually creating required entries for the SAP backend systems in your local network.

Appendix C: SNC Configuration

To configure a Secure Network Communications (SNC) connection for SAP systems, refer to SNC Configuration for SAP Systems.
