SLT, DXC, SAP DataServices, SAP NetWeaver BW extractors, Sybase Replication Server, there are many different methods available to load or replicate data between different SAP applications. When would I use which technology?

The attached document explains the different solutions in the SAP HANA Real Time Data Platform:

What is SLT?

SLT is the SAP System Landscape Transformation system running on the NetWeaver Platform. LT replicator server is the ideal solution for all SAP HANA customers who need real-time (and non-real-time) data replication sourcing from SAP ERP on traditional RDBMS or non-SAP systems on traditional RDBMS into HANA.

Please see the SLT information in the BW on HANA FAQ for more details. We will use this link as the central repository to avoid redundant information maintenance.

What is DXC?

SAP HANA Direct Extractor Connection (DXC) utilizes the DataSource Extractors that exist in SAP Business Suite systems to load data directly from the BW InfoPackage into HANA.

DXC works with generic DataSources and with any SAP-delivered DataSource with customer extensions and is available in GA with HANA SP 4.

DXC is  available in a “sidecar” approach (a system landscape variation) using the BW application in a ERP system.

DXC leverage pre-existing foundational data models of SAP BW Business Content for use in SAP HANA data mart scenarios, whereas SLT provides real-time data acquisition approach using individual tables in the SAP Business Suite.

DXC does not replace the SAP BW scenario, instead DXC leverage SAP Delivered BW Business Content DataSources to significantly reduces complexity of data modeling tasks in SAP HANA data marts and to speed up timelines for customer’s implementation projects.
