OneConnect

OneConnect is a real-time data integration platform that connects to SAP systems and streams data to multiple destinations with minimal latency. It enables organizations to unlock the value of their SAP data by making it available in real time to downstream systems such as data lakes, analytics platforms, and third-party applications without relying on traditional batch extraction methods.

The platform is built around two core components:

• SAP Data Modeler: models, designs, and structures SAP data for extraction, defining which entities, tables, and views are exposed for integration.
• Smart Gateway: acts as the connectivity bridge, capturing changes from SAP in real time and routing them to one or multiple target destinations.

Together, these components replace slow, resource-intensive batch jobs with a continuous, event-driven flow of data, supporting use cases like real-time analytics, operational reporting, data replication to cloud platforms, and synchronization across enterprise systems, all while reducing the load on SAP's core infrastructure.

This repository serves as the central documentation hub for the OneConnect suite, bringing together installation, configuration, operation, and troubleshooting guides in a single place, organized by product.
