General availability of SAP CDC capabilities for Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse Analytics
Customers use SAP systems for their business-critical operations. Today, customers want to be able to combine their SAP data with non-SAP data for their analytics needs. Azure Data Factory (ADF) is an industry-leading data integration service which enables customers to ingest data from diverse data sources (e.g., multi-cloud, SaaS, on-premises), transform data at scale, and more. Azure Data Factory (ADF) works seamlessly to combine data and prepare it at cloud-scale. Customers are using ADF to ingest data from different SAP data sources (e.g., SAP ECC, SAP Hana, SAP Table, SAP BW Open Hub, SAP BW via MDX, SAP Cloud for Customers), and combining them with data from other operational stores (e.g., Cosmos DB, Azure SQL family, and more). This enables customers to gain deep insights from both SAP and non-SAP data. Today, we are excited to announce the General Availability of SAP CDC support in Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse Analytics.Process your data in seconds with new ADF real-time CDC
