We are replicating VBAK and VBAP from ECC to HANA, I'm aware we can filter the records using the rules based on certain fields in SLT.
But i want to know is it possible to filter item records(VBAP) based on a field in Header Record(VBAK) in SLT. If so how we can do it?
Thanks for your Help.

From the SLT Operations Guide, section 5.2 I can see the following statement
5.2 Archiving Data in Source Systems
The trigger-based replication also considers the deletion in source tables by archive activities (since it is not possible to distinguish on the database level between delete actions cause by archiving versus regular deletion of data records). As a consequence, SAP LT Replication Server will also replicate archiving activities as delete actions in the SAP HANA database.
In a typical standalone/sidecar implementation of SAP HANA, I would assume that in most cases this is not favorable behavior or a desired function. In typical DW/DataMart implementations, the data should be persisted in the target even after the source system data may have been archived. I can refer back to how BW operates in this caes - any new/changed data is extracted to BW, but any archiving operations do not affect the already extracted data in the target system.
I know there is functionality available to load archived data into HANA, but that would seem like a troublsome method to 'put the pieces back together' and get a wholistic picture of all the historical data (online data + archived objects) and would present some interesting challenges in the target (HANA).
Is there any way to disable the functionality to replicate deleted data due to archiving? Is there anyone with some experience navigating around this hurdle in a standalone/sidecar scenario that can shed some light as to how they handled this?
Thanks,
Justin
Hi All - I have two SLT configurations SRMDB and SUSDB. SRMDB is sourcing from client 010 SRM and SUSDB is sourcing from client 020. We are in DMIS 2011_1_700 SP 0009.
Problem: Table BUT000 is replicated in both configurations but there is only 1 trigger showing in the source system (I used SFSRFW_DROP_TRIGGER to view the source).
For example, I would replicate BUT000 in SUSDB first. The trigger source code shows the client 020 for MANDT. I would insert records into the table and replication would be OK. Then, I would replicate BUT000 in SRMDB. The trigger source code shows the client 010 for MANDT. At this point, it overwrote it. I would insert records in SUSDB BUT000 and nothing would show up in the source logging table therefore they would not go to HANA.
Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Gurus,
We are replicating from ECC to HANA with LTRS only initial load.
I encountered some problems, would need your expertise on this.

Hello all,
we are replicating data from ECC into HANA with SLT and are facing a problem with append structure of a customized table in ECC. There are data fields with data type DEC and CHAR in this append structure of the customized table. The whole table structure with the append structure could be replicated without any problem. The data fields with data type DEC in the append structure could also be replicated into HANA, but the data fields with data type CHAR is not working. Any hints are welcome Thanks a lot!
Best regards,

Hi all,
I know that ERP - S-FIN scenario , SLT transfers transaction data and financila BAPI is called on target S-FIN system. Finally transaction data is stored in S-FIN.
My question is How about ERP(Non HANA) - S/4 enterprise(logistics) scenario ?
Since upgrading ERP(Non HANA) to S/4 is little bit premature, I want to transfer logistics transaction data from ERP to S/4 and want to use S/4 as a real time reporting platform.
Is it possible to transfer logistics transaction data( like sales order , purchase order ,,,etc ) from ERP to S/4 using SLT ?
Best regards,
Hiroaki Adachi
Hello,
I have the following dataflow : table EBAN from ECC extracted by SLT to an ADSO in BW HANA.
When I use a transformation from the BW datasource to the ADSO, no troubles. When I insert an Infosource between the datasource and the ADSO, no data are extracted anymore.
I need this Infosource as we have several ECCs those data will merge into a single ADSO. Maintenance of the common BW flows/rules will be then much easier help to the Infosource.
SLT 2011_1_731 SP 0008
BW 7.4 SP 0011
ECC 6.0
Many thanks for your help,
Laurent
Hello,
We are using SLT DMIS 2011_1_731 SP level 008 and replicating from SAP ECC as a source to an SQL server 2008 target database, currently all tables are replicating with data types nvarchar or decimal only, this is an issue for all date fields.
As suggested in the following blog How SLT is mapping data types we have updated the table IUUC_REPL_TYPMAP with data mapping but replicated tables do not have updated data types. Are there any other steps that need to be completed fo this to work?
We would want to avoid manually updating the data types individually, if the above method does not work, does anyone know of a workaround?

Dear experts!
in order to understand how this SLT process works, I would like you to explain a couple of things!
We wanted to perform a kind of "initialize without data transfer" (as done in BW) implementing a filter corresponding to no data.
Our configuration: SLT replicating data from ECC to a SQL Server (no in memory).
I initialized the replication for BSEG with a filter on the mandant and a “Buchung Kreis” that does not exist in our system.
Firstly, SLT Replicated 446 Records (where did it take those 446 records????)
Secondly, after having (manually) set the tables to loaded (in order to start the replication) SLT has replicated 48 Millions of records!!! There were not 48 millions of changes in SAP in 3 days...
So could you please explain me exactly how SLT works once it performed the filtered initial load??? I would like to understand how it is possible to get a table with 48 millions of records where no data is supposed to be retrieved.
In addition, when the replication method is not customized (I mean frequency of replication), how does SLT process interacts with target SQL Server? Does it constantly lock the target table disabling the read process or at least decreasing the read performances?
Thanks.
Cyril.
Hi All,
I am new to HANA.
Can you some one explain Why we have subscribers in ODP and what is the use.
Any real-time example will be much more helpful
Hello all, We would like to replicate SAP ERP and SAP CRM tables using SLT into a Hana database.
Where can we find the prerequisites for the source systems SAP ERP and SAP CRM? What do we need to install on the source systems?
SLT Experts,
I want to extract PA007 data from ECC to HANA but need to restrict based on cost center in PA001 .
I am new to HANA. I will really appreciate if you can provide me any suggestion or pointer to achieve this. We don't want to create custom table.
Thanks in advance.

I have a customer that have a system based on db2 AS/400, that system is a non SAP source, we want replicate that data to HANA real time, but I find the restriction at your presentation that only works for simple tables, beside I don’t find information related to supported version or restrictions.
Do you have some documentation that can help me?, I need to know the restrictions and db supported versions.
Hello Experts,
I have been searching through the SLT guides and blogs over the SCN and could not find this answer. Hoping to find some answers from Real Time implementation of SLT.
If we have Standard ECC Tables that needs be replicated but these tables have few custom columns. How does SLT handle this and what additional steps needs to followed for replicating these type of tables from ECC. Also will there be any impacts on Delta ?
Appreciate any help...
Thanks,
Manohar
Hi,
I'm trying to transfer data from ECC into S/4 HANA using SLT but I'm getting errors. I'm trying to copy the contents of table TVKO from ECC into TVKO of S/4 HANA. The S/4 HANA doesn't have any data in it so its basically a vanilla system. Is this possible via SLT?
I've tried connect via RFC and connect via DB Connection and they are not working.
It doesn't state in the SLT guide (i have SP11 guide) if the target HANA system has the same tables and you just would like to append them with data from the source system.
Here is my scenario basically.
I want to copy the contents of TVKO into S/4 HANA.
TVKO (table from ECC) -> SLT -> TVKO (table in S/4 HANA)
Thanks,
Ricardo
We have a large initial load. Instead of loading it via SLT, is there a way to take a backup of the tables in ECC, restore it in HANA, then turn on replication without doing an initial load?
Hi,
We are getting error while Replicating this source system ECC & CRM tables. Trigers are not getting created & giving the error-
DDIC activation failed for one of the structures listed below :
1. BUT_HIER_NODE:
2. EKPO
3. LFA1
Screenshot attached below.
Need some light on this if anyone has seen this situation.
Dear SAP LT Gurus,
We are using SLT in the following configuration: SAP ECC being replicated to a SQL Server Database 2008 (no in memory then).
We are facing so many issues with this configuration that it is better to filter the real blocking ones....
My problem is very simple: we have started to synchronize only 2016 Fiscal Year for BSEG table in SLT. The number of SHOWN replicated records was online with the number of records in BSEG table but we did not check in the first time the target table. After some days, we found out that we were missing a lot of records! Not all of the BSEG records were replicated! And this everyday! Everyday some records are replicated and some not....
After 1 week we were missing 750 000 documents (documents not ITEMS!!!!)! And the health check of the table is a real Christmas tree!
Checks for table BSEG started (mass transfer ID 006)
Table BSEG not found in the control table DMC_MT_TABLES
Source table for BSEG is
Last action is W-Resume (Wakeup) Replication, status is E-Error/ Aborted; "Is Last" = No (from 31.01.2016 00:19:55)
Current action is ; status is
Log table /1CADMC/00000989 created in sender system for table BSEG, and has 9 records
The following triggers are defined for table BSEG:
Trigger BSEG; status is 2-Activated
Latency for table BSEG is 71,10s (average of last 24 hours)
No access plan found for table
Migration object =Z__006;Defined? = No, Generated? = No (X = Yes, blank = No)
System status indicates issues with the load process for table BSEG
Checks for table BSEG finished (mass transfer ID 006)
The troubleshooting activity has detected critical issues
And the cherry on the cake: we are not able to properly delete the data in the logging table (see other post without any answer) even if we correctly stop the replication process.
Can anybody help?? This is really critical right now for us and we would like to avoid a new initial replication.
Thanks.
Cyril.
Hi everyone ,
Can anyone please help me how to change the default location of local data->File life time
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
I wanted to SKIP the delete operation in the source to be replicated to HANA but at the same time, want the record in HANA to be updated with a 'D' flag (to identify that the record has been deleted in source).
I followed the blog Skip Delete operation in SLT which solves only the first part of my requirement.
So, what I did is, instead of skipping the record, I changed the operation flag to 'U' so that the delete is converted to an update in HANA with the additional field specifying the delete flag.
But the flip side to this is, though the record is not getting deleted in HANA and has the flag updated, it also updates all non-key values with defaults !!! Which is not helping as I am losing data 
Any inputs are appreciated.
Thanks
Deepti
