Question

Options

• ASAP HANA Smart Data Access
• BSAP Data Services
• CSAP BW 7.5 on any data base
• DSAP Landscape Transformation Server
• ESAP BW/4HANA

• A
  5% (2)
• B
  84% (32)
• D
  11% (4)

Explanation

Options B, C, and E are correct because the Operational Delta Queue (ODQ) is an SAP framework that buffers changed data for extraction, and SAP Data Services, SAP BW 7.5 (on any database), and SAP BW/4HANA are all certified to act as downstream consumers - they can subscribe to ODQ subscriptions and pull delta records for loading into their respective targets.

Why A is wrong: SAP HANA Smart Data Access (SDA) is a virtual data federation technology - it provides real-time read access to remote data in place, not delta change consumption from a queue.

Why D is wrong: SAP Landscape Transformation Server (SLT) is typically an ODQ provider/producer - it captures changes from source systems and writes them into the ODQ - not a consumer that reads from it.

Memory tip: Think of ODQ consumers as tools that need to load and store data somewhere (Data Services loads to a data warehouse, BW 7.5/BW4 load to BW InfoProviders). SDA "looks but doesn't touch" (federation), and SLT "feeds" the queue rather than reading it - so they sit on the wrong side of the pipe.
