I need to capture CDC data for selected tables and columns from SAP ECC to Kafka topics.
There is currently SAP SLT layer which sends data from SAP to non-SAP systems. Can we utilize SAP SLT to send data to Kafka Topics or do we need to utilize any other connector. I know there is ODP connector which is available to extract data directly from SAP ECC, I need to utilize existing SLT layer and need to confirm if it can be utilized to send CDC data to Kafka topics without a need to any other connectors.
Any references would be helpful.
No.
As per my knowledge only SAP BODS has Kafka Connector since version 4.2.
All the rest integration tools including SLT have CDC functionality but support only RDBMS target, look at this comparison overview
