Azure Data Factory SAP CDC Connector

• Real-time ingestion using the SAP CDC connector
• Very easy to setup and start using
• Relatively cheap on-demand pricing
• Minimal operations effort needed
• Uses standard SAP ODP framework (via RFC, not oData)
• Direct support for Databricks Delta as a target
• SAP application tables can be extracted only when using SAP SLT as a proxy
