• Key Concepts: 
  Change Data Capture (CDC) is a feature of SAP HANA that enables the capture of changes in data from source systems and the replication of those changes to the SAP HANA database. It is used to keep the data in SAP HANA up-to-date with the source system, and can be used for both real-time and batch replication. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Change Data Capture, you must first configure the source system and the target system. This includes setting up the connection between the two systems, configuring the replication rules, and setting up the replication jobs. Once this is done, you can start replicating data from the source system to SAP HANA. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring Change Data Capture, it is important to consider how often you need to replicate data from the source system. If you need real-time replication, then you should configure a continuous replication job. If you only need to replicate data periodically, then you should configure a batch job.
