Overall Satisfaction with SAP Replication Server

I am a Sr. technical consultant working for a diamond client for our organisation. Our client uses SAP Replication server at their entire organisation to send, replicate, and transfer data to and from different data sources of EU and non-EU regions. With the help of SAP replication terminology it is really very easy to replicate the real time data from/to different regions.

Pros

  • Before implementing SAP Replication Server we were facing the challenges to replicate the real-time data from and to our department from Non-EU regions.
  • Since SAP Replication Server is in-place, our client and their shareholders are starting to get real time data from different sources of DBs with very great performance of different transactions, which results in speeding up the process and service with other products.

Cons

  • So far we have not dealt with any challenges since we started to utilise its functionality or high speed data replication, with integrated transnational data from different data sources to exchange the replication of data.
  • Our only small concern is it takes extra effort to maintain the hardware and you need special DBAs skills to properly utilise its functionality with its capacity .
  • With SAP Replication server, connecting to Big Data is easiest and fastest way to achieve the data transfer and receive requirement with the help of Big data integration such as HIVE connectors, to and from different stage files,
  • One of the great functionalities of SAP RS is, it can maintain business continuity by providing the DR solution without downtime, and it only requires medium expertise to utilise the SAP RS functionality to run. This means that every organisation can get real benefit out of it.
  • SAP has upgrades available that offer effectively optimised performance sizing tools to meet your requirements.
There are many limitations with MSSQL, when compared with SAP RS, as it can replicate with high speed, low latency, using real-time transactional data, with minimal/no custom coding low column data access to speed up the data exchange and delivery securely. Also the DB migration functionality is available with SAP RS, which can operate without interrupting your ongoing activity or transaction/operations.
It's very well suited in scenario where you expect real-time, transactional data replication with high speed low latency, and no changes in coding with source data schema. I strongly recommend SAP replication server for such requirements where you have business critical needs and want data safety.
