Non-SAP data replication, in our domain known as Storage to Storage extraction can be used if you want to replicate the data between two data storages. 

The difference between this scenario and the standard (Glue-2408) SAP Table Data Replication scenario is that the source data is not read from SAP's primary database but from external storage.

You can choose any storage that Storage Management supports. The only requirement is that the data from the source storage must be structured.

The SNP Glue™ extraction process reads the data from the source storage based on specified criteria, performs a transformation of the data, and stores it in the target storage.

Below, you can find a step-by-step manual on how to set up and execute the extraction of data between two storages:

  1. Create source Glue Table based on the existing data structure of the source storage.
  2. Create SNP Glue™ Table Fetcher with previously created source Glue table.
  3. Create target Glue Table defining the data structure on the target storage.
  4. Create SNP Glue™ Table Consumer using target Glue table.
  5. Create (Glue-2408) Extraction Process with previously created Glue Table Fetcher and Glue Table Consumer.
  6. Execute extraction.
