Replication activity considerations

This HCL Domino Connector for SAP Solutions does not fully support replication. When you read data from ECC, an RFC or BAPI is always used. When you write to ECC, you must use an RFC, a BAPI, or a Transaction - and almost always these will be different than the ones used to read data. New entries or deletions require other RFCs or Transactions.

Each of these situations can require different metadata. There is no mapping from a read metadata to a write metadata. Because of this, the Connector cannot fully support the Replication activity.

It is possible to use the Replication activity in a limited way. You can have a one-direction replication from ECC to another connection type. For example, you can replicate a table with %RFC_READ_TABLE; from ECC to an MS SQL database. You can also call an RFC that returns a table, such as %BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETLIST;, and have the contents of this dynamic table replicate from ECC into Notes.
Note: For complete information about this activity, see your HEI user documentation.


The Key Fields are mapped in the Source/Target Field lists.

The required select statement for BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETLIST is entered in the Conditional Clause for Source section and appears exactly as it would in a Direct Transfer activity:
