Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable SAP replication to MongoDB.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live SAP data into your MongoDB instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
About SAP Data Integration
CData provides the easiest way to access and integrate live data from SAP. Customers use CData connectivity to:
- Access every edition of SAP, including SAP R/3, SAP NetWeaver, SAP ERP / ECC 6.0, and SAP S/4 HANA on premises data that is exposed by the RFC.
- Perform actions like sending IDoc or IDoc XML files to the server and creating schemas for functions or queries through SQL stored procedures.
-
Connect optimally depending on where a customer's SAP instance is hosted.
- Customers using SAP S/4HANA cloud public edition will use SAP NetWeaver Gateway connectivity
- Customers using SAP S/4HANA private edition will use either SAP ERP or SAP NetWeaver Gateway connectivity.
While most users leverage our tools to replicate SAP data to databases or data warehouses, many also integrate live SAP data with analytics tools such as Tableau, Power BI, and Excel.
Getting Started
Configure MongoDB as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate SAP data to MongoDB. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select the Destinations tab and locate the MongoDB connector.
- Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the MongoDB connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
- To connect to MongoDB, set the following connection properties:
- Connection Name: Enter a connection name of your choice for the MongoDB connection.
- Server: Enter either the host name or the IP address of the server that hosts your MongoDB instance.
- Port: Enter the port number of the server that hosts your instance of MongoDB. The default port value is 27017.
- Auth Scheme: Select the authentication scheme.
- User: Set this to the database user.
- Password: Set this to the user's password.
- Database: Set this to the database you want to read from and write to.
- Auth Database: Enter the name of the MongoDB database for authentication.
- Once connected, click Create & Test to create, test and save the connection.

You are now connected to MongoDB and can use it as both a source and a destination.
NOTE: You can use the Label feature to add a label for a source or a destination.

In this article, we will demonstrate how to load SAP data into MongoDB and utilize it as a destination.
Configure the SAP Connection
You can configure a connection to SAP from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your SAP account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (SAP).
- Configure the connection properties.
The Java edition supports connecting to an SAP system using the JCo .jar file. See the "Getting Started" chapter in the help documentation for information on using the Jco JAR file.
The Windows edition supports connecting to SAP systems using either the librfc32.dll, the librfc32u.dll, NetWeaver, or Web Services (SOAP). Set the ConnectionType connection property to CLASSIC (librfc32.dll), CLASSIC_UNICODE (librfc32u.dll), NETWEAVER, or SOAP.
Note: We do not distribute the librfc32.dll or other SAP assemblies. You must find them from your SAP installation and install them on your machine.
All versions of Sync support connecting to an SAP system using Web services (SOAP). If you are using the SOAP interface you must enable SOAP access to your SAP system and set the Client, RFCUrl, SystemNumber, User, and Password properties, under the Authentication section. Additionally, set the ConnectionType to SOAP.
See this guide on obtaining the connection properties needed to connect to any SAP system.
- Click Connect to SAP to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save & Test to save the changes.
Configure Replication Queries
CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. For each replication you wish to configure, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.

Replicate Entire Tables
To replicate an entire table, navigate to the Task tab in the Job, click Add Tasks, choose the table(s) from the list of SAP tables you wish to replicate into MongoDB, and click Add Tasks again.

Customize Your Replication
You can use the Columns and Query tabs of a task to customize your replication. The Columns tab allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. The Query tab allows you to add filters, grouping, and sorting to the replication with the help of SQL queries.
Schedule Your Replication
Select the Overview tab in the Job, and click Configure under Schedule. You can schedule a job to run automatically by configuring it to run at specified intervals, ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.

Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of your SAP data to MongoDB.
Run the Replication Job
Once all the required configurations are made for the job, select the SAP table you wish to replicate and click Run. After the replication completes successfully, a notification appears, showing the time taken to run the job and the number of rows replicated.
