AWS Glue supports additional SAP entities as zero-ETL integration sources

AWS Glue Enhancements

AWS Glue now supports full snapshot and incremental load ingestion for new SAP entities using zero-ETL integrations. This enhancement introduces full snapshot data ingestion for SAP entities that lack complete change data capture (CDC) functionality, while also providing incremental data loading capabilities for SAP entities that don't support the Operational Data Provisioning (ODP) framework. These new features work alongside existing capabilities for ODP-supported SAP entities, to give customers the flexibility to implement zero-ETL data ingestion strategies across diverse SAP environments.

Fully managed AWS zero-ETL integrations eliminate the engineering overhead associated with building custom ETL data pipelines. This new zero-ETL functionality enables organizations to ingest data from multiple SAP applications into Amazon Redshift or the lakehouse architecture of Amazon SageMaker to address scenarios where SAP entities lack deletion tracking flags or don't support the Operational Data Provisioning (ODP) framework. Through full snapshot ingestion for entities without deletion tracking and timestamp-based incremental loading for non-ODP systems, zero-ETL integrations reduce operational complexity while saving organizations weeks of engineering effort that would otherwise be required to design, build, and test custom data pipelines across diverse SAP application environments.
