Customers are looking at ways to tap into SAP data along with non-SAP application data. They want real-time streaming data generated by internet-powered devices to build data and analytics platforms on AWS. In this post, I cover various data extraction patterns supported by SAP applications. I also cover reference architectures for using AWS services and other third-party solutions to extract data from SAP into data lakes on AWS.

Instead of clicking through the SAP GUI searching for the data you need, you can set up a connection to SAP HANA using AWS Glue and extracting data to Amazon S3. This post shows you how.

In this series of blog posts, learn how to integrate your SAP Process Integration and Orchestration (SAP PI/PO) and SAP Cloud Platform Integration with AWS Transfer for SFTP (AWS SFTP). Also, see how to use the data that AWS SFTP stores in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for post-processing analytics.

Using the SAP HANA SDA feature and ODBC drivers from Amazon Athena, you can now federate queries from SAP HANA to Athena, combining data from SAP HANA with data that is available in an Amazon S3 data lake without needing to copy this data to SAP HANA first.
