Most SAP data workflows run on a schedule. They wake up, read from SAP, and work out what changed. That works, but there is always a window where you are acting on stale data.

There is another way. SAP can push the change to you the moment it happens. A customer gets created, an order gets saved, a journal gets posted, and your workflow runs within seconds. This post explains how the DVW Flow Tool captures SAP changes, the event-driven version of change data capture, at the application layer. No database triggers, no log-mining, no replication layer.

Getting SAP data into Databricks has traditionally been a headache. Teams write custom extracts, stage files, and wait for a pipeline to finish before the data science work can even start.

There is a faster way. With the DVW Flow Tool you call SAP directly from a Databricks notebook and land your data into a table in minutes. This short demo shows how it works, from an empty flow to a clean table ready for forecasting and trend analysis.

SAP now shares data with Snowflake and Databricks with no copy. It is a real step forward, and it has generated plenty of excitement. But getting SAP data into your platform is the easy half.

For AI, success is determined by what the model is fed. This post looks at what zero-copy sharing solves, what it does not, and how to stay in control of the SAP data your analytics and AI actually use.
