Over the years, SNP Glue has become a trusted and well-known solution globally, enabling customers to integrate their SAP data with modern platforms. SNP Glue breaks down data silos, opens up SAP to data scientists, and enables multiple new use cases based on enterprise SAP data.
Over time, competition in the market drives customers to find ways to take advantage of all the advantages of cloud solutions. This sometimes requires going beyond "standard" data replication scenarios and using SNP Glue to implement a real-time architecture where data and events created in SAP will be available and integrated with other applications in the enterprise.
SNP Glue is a powerful tool for enterprise-level data integration between SAP systems and cloud data platforms. At its core is an ABAP plug-in that is tightly integrated with the application layer of the SAP system. SNP Glue is a modular tool. You can use it directly in your SAP source system with a direct connection to your cloud data platform. If you have already invested in SAP Integrated Architecture (such as SAP LT replication server), then SNP Glue can act as an add-on and enrich SLT with enterprise-grade cloud connectors.
By replicating data from various SAP data sources using near real-time and event-based triggers, your organization can leverage all data when needed.
First, install SNP Glue in the SAP environment, control the storage management through the internal platform of the SNP Glue software, select the corresponding table of the SAP source system to be extracted, and connect Glue to the Azure platform to easily realize real-time data extraction. Data transfer extracts SAP data directly to the target platform and does not reside on the Glue platform. Realize safe, fast and real-time batch data extraction.
Client case: Australian multinational metal and oil company needs to provide its financial data to audit firm for global audit. The challenge is to serve data using standard SAP DART, which cannot handle the huge data volume (>1 billion records) and delta load of SAP ERP and SAP BW. SNP GLUE™ helps them process large volumes of audit-related data and replicate it from global SAP instances to the data lake within 2 hours. It supports the automatic deployment of SAP data directly to the customer's data management platform, including the incremental loading function.
What customers need to use Glue?
■ Has SAP NW applications – R/3, ECC, S/4HANA, SoH, BW, BW/4, etc.
■ Especially important for S/4HANA (due to very large SAP tables such as ACDOCA)
