Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live SAP HANA XS Advanced data into your MySQL instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

Configure MySQL as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate SAP HANA XS Advanced data to MySQL. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

Configure the SAP HANA XS Advanced Connection

You can configure a connection to SAP HANA XS Advanced from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your SAP HANA XS Advanced account, navigate to the Connections tab.

  1. Click Add Connection.

    SAP HANA XSA uses the OAuth authentication standard. Before connecting, it is necessary to establish an SAP HANA XSA OData Service. See the OAuth section in the Help documentation for a guide.

  5. Click Save 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, click Add Tables in the Tables section, choose the table(s) you wish to replicate, and click Add Selected Tables.

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.

Schedule Your Replication

In the Schedule section, you can schedule a job to run automatically, configuring the job to run after 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 HANA XS Advanced data to MySQL.
