Technology & Integration

Which technologies does it work with?

Currently works with SAP. We support:

  • Any SAP version (non-HANA or HANA) for ERP, BW, CRM, APO, GTS, EWM, SRM
  • All major clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure) as well as on-premise deployments
  • Major application providers like SAP BTP, Databricks, Snowflake, MS Fabric, Azure API-M, Logic Apps, Dynatrace
  • User-facing applications like MS Excel, PowerBI, Fabric, Tableau, Power Platform/Apps/Automate
  • REST-API compliant apps

How do we connect to SAP?

We always connect using the application layer, not directly to database. We support following protocols:

  • REST (recommended)
  • OData
  • RFC

What SAP object types are supported?

We support the following SAP object types (standard or custom Z):

  • Tables & Views [Full or delta CDC]
  • Reports [ALV or Standard]
  • TCODE
  • SQVI Query
  • CDS views
  • BW Extractors

Certifications & Compliance

Is this certified by SAP?

Yes. USB4SAP is SAP-certified via SAP NetWeaver integration. View SAP certificate

Is this certified by Microsoft?

Yes. STREAM Live certified for Excel, Power BI, and Microsoft Fabric. View Microsoft certificate

Is this compliant with SAP Note# 3255746?

Yes. By using modern REST API method approved by SAP instead of ODP APIs, our users are able to stream intelligence from SAP without violating SAP's prohibition on ODP API use for non-SAP applications.

Security & Authorizations

How do we sync information security authorizations from SAP?

We support end-to-end security authorizations by using native SAP authorizations on any cloud, app, or API endpoint.

Example: If user X is authorized in SAP to view purchasing data from company 1000 only (not company 2000), they automatically inherit the same security in the consuming application. Any changes made to their authorizations in SAP are automatically reflected in the application without replication.

We highly recommend using SAP semantic models securely, instead of extracting table data to 3rd party applications.

How do we secure information from SAP to cloud?

We support end-to-end information security using:

  • HTTPS
  • SAS tokens
  • Public Signed URL

Delta & Change Data Capture

How is delta with CDC from tables supported?

We support delta from SAP tables & views in following modes:

  • Time-series based: Date & time stamp
  • Document number based: SAP Document number & Item number

How is delta from reports/TCODEs supported?

We leverage SAP variants on selection screen to incrementally stream intelligence from reports. This is dependent on availability of time-series parameters (like date & time) on the selection screen.

Is there a need for activating SAP change pointers?

No. Our patented technology uses a unique lightweight delta capture mechanism which does not depend on change pointers activation.

How are long running jobs handled?
