DESCRIPTION
Two Components. One Unified Platform.
One Connect for SAP consists of the DataModeler, which designs and publishes SAP entities, and the Smart Gateway, which translates them into enterprise-ready streaming data.
Data Modeler
A low-code / no-code designer that models SAP Entities (Data Products) by connecting tables and CDS views — then pushes data and metadata to the Smart Gateway in batch or real time.
- Design SAP entities based on Tables, CDS Views, or ABAP Programs with visual joins (Inner / Left Outer)
- Two replication methods: Table Format (CDC-like, per-table streaming) and Document Format (nested, IDOC-like structures)
- Stream via real-time events (BOR, RAP, BTE, PPF, Change Pointers) or batch extraction
- Full support for BW Extractors — leverage existing SAP BW data sources for streaming
- Extend pre-packaged Data Products by adding custom tables, CDS Views, and fields without coding
- Translates SAP's cryptic table names (like VBAK) into understandable business terms (Sales Orders)
Smart Gateway
Built on Kubernetes, the Smart Gateway receives data and metadata from the Data Modeler, translates them into streaming schemas, and delivers them to any downstream platform.
- Automatic schema generation — translates SAP structures into streaming-ready schemas with Avro serialization
- Metadata preservation — field descriptions, data types, and business context travel with the data
- Cloud-agnostic delivery to database, data warehouse or application including: Databricks, Snowflake, Postgres, Azure, AWS, and any streaming-compatible platform
REPLICATION METHODS
Two Ways to Stream SAP Data
Choose the replication method that fits your use case — or combine both for maximum flexibility.
METHOD 1
Table Format
Each SAP table or CDS View is converted into a dedicated streaming topic, maintaining primary keys. Similar to CDC (Change Data Capture) — ideal for analytics, data warehouses, and AI model training.
VBAK → topic: ORDER_HEADER
VBAP → topic: ORDER_ITEMS
VBPA → topic: ORDER_PARTNERS
PRCD_ELEMENTS → topic: ORDER_CONDITIONS
VBAP → topic: ORDER_ITEMS
VBPA → topic: ORDER_PARTNERS
PRCD_ELEMENTS → topic: ORDER_CONDITIONS
METHOD 2
Document Format
Each SAP business document is converted into a single streaming topic with a complex nested structure — similar to an IDOC, but containing tables or CDS Views instead of IDOC segments. Ideal for event-driven processing and composable applications.
SALES_ORDER {
ORDER_HEADER: { ... },
ORDER_ITEMS: [{ ... }],
ORDER_PARTNERS: [{ ... }],
ORDER_CONDITIONS: [{ ... }]
}
ORDER_HEADER: { ... },
ORDER_ITEMS: [{ ... }],
ORDER_PARTNERS: [{ ... }],
ORDER_CONDITIONS: [{ ... }]
}
REAL-TIME & BATCH CAPABILITIES
Every SAP Trigger Mechanism, Supported
One Connect supports the full spectrum of SAP event mechanisms to stream data in real time — plus traditional batch extraction for initial loads and reconciliation.
RAP Business Events S/4HANA Native
SAP's RESTful Application Programming (RAP) model supports event-driven architecture natively. One Connect leverages RAP Business Events for modern S/4HANA environments, enabling zero-latency data streaming aligned with SAP's cloud-forward direction.
BOR Events & Classic Triggers
For SAP ECC and hybrid landscapes, One Connect supports Business Object Repository (BOR) events, Business Transaction Events (BTE), Post Processing Framework (PPF), and Change Pointers — covering every SAP version and business scenario.
BW Extractors
Leverage your existing SAP BW data sources. One Connect supports BW Extractors, enabling you to stream data from established extraction logic without rebuilding from scratch.
