Introduction
In this article, I walk through the complete process of replicating data from an SAP S/4HANA system into Microsoft Fabric. The goal was to build an end-to-end setup that connects the SAP landscape with modern analytics capabilities in Fabric. To achieve this, I combined several components from both SAP and Microsoft: the SAP Cloud Connector, SAP Datasphere, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, and finally the Mirrored SAP Database item inside Microsoft Fabric.
The article is based on the exact steps I carried out in my own environment. Along the way, I encountered a few challenges on the SAP side, especially when configuring the connection through the SAP Cloud Connector. Once this part was working, the remaining setup in Microsoft Fabric was straightforward. In the end, the result is a working replication pipeline that allows SAP data to be used directly in Fabric and prepared for further analytics scenarios.
