Chose SAP Replication Server
We use SAP ASE as our main system of record and therefore it just made sense to use SAP Rep Server. We did evaluate Golden Gate, however, GG seems to be much more complex than Rep Server. We could not easily find GG talent on the street but are able to find Rep Server …
I asked questions about a warm standby and multicast replication. We ended up using bi-directional replication and a warm standby db. Having 3 or more live OLTP DB's where each was read-write was going to be difficult to manage for contention if the same table was being updated. We stuck with an easier solution to have only two OLTP's, and then used additional DB's as read-only DW's.
SAP support has been outstanding. They have quick response times and always meet their SLAs. Any time we have an issue that needs to be researched they are able to get back to us quickly with resolution.
