SAP CDC Connector and SLT – Part 1 – Overview and Architecture
Introduction
The SAP CDC Connector and SLT (SAP Landscape Transformation) are two technologies used to integrate SAP and other applications. Both technologies help to synchronize data between SAP and other applications, but they have different features and capabilities. This blog post will provide an overview and architecture of SAP CDC Connector and SLT, and explain the differences between them.What is SAP CDC Connector?
SAP CDC Connector is a technology used to integrate SAP with third-party applications. It is designed to transfer data from SAP to non-SAP applications in real-time. It can be used to send data from SAP to non-SAP applications, as well as receive data from non-SAP applications into SAP.What is SLT?
SLT (SAP Landscape Transformation) is a technology used to replicate data from SAP systems to other systems. It is designed to move data from SAP to non-SAP applications in near real-time. It can also be used to move data from non-SAP applications into SAP.Key Differences
The key difference between SAP CDC Connector and SLT is the timing of data transfer. SAP CDC Connector is designed to transfer data in real-time, while SLT is designed to transfer data in near real-time.SAP CDC Connector Architecture
The SAP CDC Connector architecture consists of multiple components, including the source system, the source system adapter, the target system adapter, and the target system. The source system adapter is responsible for accessing the source system and extracting the data that needs to be transferred. The target system adapter is responsible for transferring the data to the target system.SLT Architecture
The SLT architecture consists of multiple components, including the source system, the source system adapter, the replication server, the target system adapter, and the target system. The source system adapter is responsible for accessing the source system and extracting the data that needs to be transferred. The replication server is responsible for storing the extracted data in a staging area. The target system adapter is responsible for transferring the data to the target system.Summary
SAP CDC Connector and SLT are two technologies used to integrate SAP with other applications. They both help to synchronize data between SAP and other applications, but they have different features and capabilities. SAP CDC Connector is designed to transfer data in real-time, while SLT is designed to transfer data in near real-time. The architectures of both technologies consist of multiple components, which are responsible for extracting, storing, and transferring data.
