Unpermitted usage of ODP Data Replication APIs - Q&A

It has not been supported for many years. The status just changed from Unsupported → Unpermitted.

No, at least in the near future. ODP is the data distribution framework for data provisioning in all SAP systems. Having such major change will require huge effort and changes to virtually all existing products.

Different people have different views of the problem.

SAP customers are not responsible for monitoring all changes in all SAP notes. SAP notes are not legally binding. More legal changes might come soon though, especially to SAP Rise.

This is more plausible than the technical limitation of ODP framework. However, I cannot say how realistic is this, as it will open a huge discussions with the existing customers that are using the functionality.

Both ADF and SAP Datasphere use parquet files to store data extracts. The transformation logic in Databricks may remain unaffected even if you need to switch to Datasphere.
