SAP® Replication Server® Options
are used with
SAP Replication Server for replication across distributed non-SAP databases to enable
different operational and decision-support tasks.
SAP Replication Server
Options contain the replication components for replication with
one of these databases:-
Oracle
-
Microsoft SQL Server
-
IBM DB2 UDB (on Linux, Microsoft Windows, and UNIX platforms)
-
SAP HANA® database (only as the replicate database)
To replicate data from a primary SAP HANA database to a replicate SAP HANA
database, you must use the Replication Agent™ for SAP HANA. For more
information, see the Replication Agent for SAP HANA Configuration and
Users Guide.
Note:
You can use these replication components to implement replication on
the Microsoft Windows and UNIX platforms. To replicate from DB2 for z/OS, you must
have Replication Agent for DB2 for z/OS, which is sold separately from SAP
Replication Server Options. However, you can use the Enterprise Connect™ Data Access
(ECDA) Option for ODBC that is included in SAP Replication Server Options to
replicate into DB2 for z/OS.
The SAP Replication Server Options and
their components are:- SAP
Replication Server, option for Oracle:
- Replication Agent for Oracle
- ExpressConnect for Oracle
- SAP Replication Server, option for Microsoft SQL Server:
- Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server
- ECDA Option for ODBC
- SAP Replication Server, option for IBM DB2 UDB:
- Replication Agent for IBM DB2 UDB (Linux, Microsoft
Windows, and UNIX)
- ECDA Option for ODBC
SAP Replication Server Options
are
available separately from SAP Replication Server. However, to implement the solutions
described in this document, you must have both the SAP Replication Server Options and SAP Replication Server. With SAP
Replication Server and one or more SAP Replication
Server Options, you can:
- Replicate data across heterogeneous environments using any of the supported databases, allowing data to be
shared among different operational and decision-support systems without
affecting business performance.
- Integrate disparate business systems, including legacy data, into a
coordinated, easily accessed, and powerful corporate business enterprise.
