Enterprise Connect™ Data Access (ECDA) is an integrated set of software applications and connectivity tools that allows you to access data within a heterogeneous database environment.
ECDA gives you the ability to access a variety of LAN-based, non-SAP data sources, as well as mainframe data sources. It consists of components that provide transparent data access within an enterprise. You require a specific ECDA component for each actively supported non-SAP ASE database that does not already provide an SAP Open Server interface. This is required for replication to the non-SAP ASE database.
See the Heterogeneous Replication Guide and the Replication Server Options documentation.
