SAP offers product lines that specifically support replication systems with heterogeneous or non-ASE data servers, based on SAP replication technology.
SAP Replication Server, which is the centerpiece of SAP advanced replication technology and incorporates several features specifically to support non-ASE data servers in an SAP replication system.
Replication Agents support Replication Server by providing a way to obtain replication data from non-ASE primary databases. Replication Agents provide this support for DB2 UDB, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle data servers.
ECDA database gateways support Replication Server by providing access to a variety of non-ASE databases, allowing them to function as replicate databases in a SAP replication system.
ExpressConnect (for Oracle or SAP HANA Database) supports Replication Server by providing direct communication between Replication Server and an Oracle or an SAP HANA database, without a need for a separate gateway server. ExpressConnect for Oracle is only available with Replication Server Options 15.5 or later. ExpressConnect for SAP HANA Database is only available with Replication Server 15.7.1 SP100 or later.
