SAP CDC | Arvato Systems: 1 Day Workshop

Extracting data from an SAP system can quickly become complex and cumbersome, as transactional tables often contain many entries, making the extraction process resource-intensive and lengthy. SAP connectors in Azure Data Factory only extracted data in batches, with each batch consisting of the new data you want to extract but also the old data that was already extracted before. This approach is expensive and inefficient and while workarounds are possible, they are limited and complex.

The SAP CDC connector for Azure fixes these issues, by providing the capability to only extract data changes and load them into Azure. Specifically, it allows you to capture and replicate changes to SAP data in real-time, and then store that data in Azure data stores such as Azure Blob Storage, Azure Data Lake Storage, or Azure SQL Database. This can be useful for a variety of purposes, including data integration, analytics, reporting, and more.

There are several benefits to using the SAP CDC Connector for Azure, including:

1. Real-time data replication: With the SAP CDC Connector for Azure, you can capture and replicate changes to SAP data in real-time, ensuring that your Azure data store is always up-to-date.
2. Easy to use: The SAP CDC Connector for Azure is designed to be easy to set up and use, even if you have limited experience with SAP or Azure.
3. Scalable: The connector is designed to be highly scalable, so it can handle large volumes of data and grow with your needs.
4. Flexible: The SAP CDC Connector for Azure supports a variety of Azure data stores, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs.
