SLT Replication Issue Due To Timeout Reading Logging Tables

In our company we use SAP LT (Landscape Transformation) replication server to replicate tables from SAP ECC system to SAP HANA in real time. SLT creates trigger for each table that we want to replicate and whenever there is change it stores the changes in the logging table. Later on, these tables are used to update replicated tables in SAP HANA. 
 
This system is really useful when you really need real time replication to SAP HANA. However, it also causes performance issue if proper monitoring is not being performed. Just recently, we faced an issue where we were trying to replicate a large table "VBFA" to SAP HANA in production environment. Every time table replicate status changes to "ERROR" after the initial load. It started to fail when ever SLT tries to read change/delta stored in logging table. This tables replication worked fine in DEV and QA environment.
 
After troubleshooting and taking help from SAP support we found that in the program generated by SLT (an ABAP program is generated every time we add a table for replication) contains SELECT statement which is used to read data from logging table did not have MANDT (Client) selected as part of the WHERE clause. MANDT is also part of the key fields in logging table. Therefore, every time it was causing timeout for SELECT statement (there seems to be issue with indexing or duplicate records). So as per the suggestion from SAP support we implemented the SAP note 1945151  .
 
Now onwards whenever we add new table for replication then the program module generated will contain MANDT in SELECT statement which also provides greater performance when reading delta. Table VBFA was already in system and there was already a program generated for that table (without MANDT in SELECT statement). So in order to fix that we used "Reset Replication Object Definition" which is located under Expert Functions in LTR cockpit (use transaction LTRC). This generated a new program (with MANDT in SELECT statement) for that table.
 
I hope this will help someone facing similar issue.

    Hi,
    can you please let me know how to view the ABAP program generated in SLT ?

    Hi Dharani

    You can view the ABAP program using T-code LTRS , Navigate to Advance replication setting ==> Than Choose Rule Assignment ==> Click on Desired table ==> Click on Rule overview ==> you will find bottom of screen ==>Include Name ==> Double click on include name==> You will see the ABAP Cade


    Thanks,

SAP HANA Input Parameter - Derived from Table - Use Expression in Filter Value

Image
Recently, I have experienced something while modeling HANA information view that I want to share with everyone.  Case:  Dynamic Filter for projection with current Fiscal Year and Fiscal Period.  Method: There are different parameter types that we can use to do this. I decided to use following "Derived from table" type as shown below:  Challenge: When filtering column then it displays list of values from the same HANA information view and we can select the date. Now, as the requirement is current Fiscal Year and Period so how do we filter the column to dynamically select current date in "Filter Value" section? Solution: Like everyone, I expected it to understand the expression. So I tried following and it worked. I used the expression  currentdate() I was aware that I could use expression in the "Default Value" section (as explained in SAP HANA Developer Guide) but didn't expect it to work in "Filter Value".

SAP HANA Content Security Roles Setup

Image
A few months ago I was given a task to implement content security in SAP HANA. The main purpose for this task was to provide Business user access to information models created in SAP HANA. For example Finance user should only view finance package and can access information models in that package via BI tools such as Analysis for excel. So, after a research and few discussions with various people (one of them was from SAP Melbourne) I came up with following security model. Let's assume that content is maintained in following structure: So based on each type of privilege I created the roles as shown below: System Privilege Roles These roles are mainly needed for System admin tasks (technical role) X_HNS = S for System Privilege role Role Name Privilege Type Assigned Privileges X_HNS_USERADMIN This role can create users, change their passwo
