Overview
Replicate Preview supports data extraction from SAP systems using Internet Communication Framework (ICF) services exposed over HTTPS, enabling secure and efficient access to SAP business data without requiring direct database connectivity. Users can configure replication pipelines by defining SAP connection parameters, selecting source tables or extract structures, and configuring target destinations, allowing SAP data to be replicated with minimal setup and operational complexity.
The platform simplifies SAP integration workflows while ensuring reliable and scalable data delivery across SAP and non-SAP environments.
Note
SAP systems data extraction is supported as source endpoint in Replicate Preview, limited to Snapshot (full load) replication mode, with Change Data Capture (CDC) replication not yet supported.
Supported SAP Systems
SAP ECC 7.4 or later
SAP S/4HANA 1709 or later
Supported Data Objects
The HTTPS connection supports extraction from the following SAP data objects:
Data Objects | Supported Replication Modes |
|---|---|
Transparent Tables | Snapshot (Refresh) |
Pool Tables | Snapshot |
Cluster Tables | Snapshot |
Long Texts | Snapshot |
Prerequisites
For SAP implementations, you need to install the SKP ADMM Add-on package that contains all the required ABAP objects and ICF service definitions needed for HTTPS-based data extraction. Refer to SKP ADMM Add-On Installation Guide for SAP Systems for more information.
Depending on the required functionality, you must create a user with the appropriate authorizations for Syniti Knowledge Platform (SKP) implementations when using an HTTPS connection. The required authorizations are summarized in this article.
Ensure that you create the SAP NetWeaver HTTPS datastore connection. Refer to Connecting to SAP Systems Using SAP NetWeaver HTTPS for more information.
Data Extractions Types
Replicate Preview provides the following three options to extract data from SAP systems:
Standard Extraction
Performs data extraction from SAP tables using standard queries. This method is recommended for general-purpose Snapshot extractions and supports broad compatibility across SAP environments versions. No additional requirements are needed. The installed add-on package contains all the required objects and ICF service definitions required for standard data extraction.
In Replicate Preview, configure your workspace using this system datastore and start replicating data. Refer to Configure Workspace: Datastores for more information.
Streaming
HTTPS-based data extraction does not support streaming. Instead, it uses pagination (numeric offset or key-based) to retrieve data in manageable chunks, with configurable parallel workers to distribute the workload and reduce extraction time. ABAP functions handle server-side data processing on SAP, optimizing resource utilization.
Refer to Connecting to SAP Systems Using SAP NetWeaver HTTPS for more information.
Long Text Query
Extracts SAP Long Text objects stored in clustered text structures (such as STXH and STXL). This method is used when replicating SAP text fields including material descriptions, purchase order notes, sales text, and other SAP script or Smart Forms text content. The /ADMM/CL_READ_LONGTEXT object is used for long text extraction and ensure that the ICF Service LONGTEXT is activated.
Refer to Query Read Text for SAP Systems for more information.
Connection Considerations
