Why teams connect Akeneo and SAP Hana

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in SAP Hana: read them with normal queries, write inventory and prices back through the sync, and skip the storefront API.

E-commerce data sits behind an API built for the storefront, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for order routing, inventory logic, reporting, or back-office tools, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it through every catalog change and platform upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Attributes, Families and family variants, Reference entities and records, Assets from Akeneo into SAP Hana and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Akeneo holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in SAP Hana, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Akeneo with its validations respected.

Merchandising and operations keep working in the storefront, engineers keep working in the database, and neither side has to reconcile against a nightly export.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 02 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.
  • 03 Read Reference entities records such as brands and manufacturers into a data warehouse for cross-catalog reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

Order data where your code can use it

Orders and their status become rows in SAP Hana for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from SAP Hana back into Akeneo, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Akeneo, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in SAP Hana as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between Akeneo and SAP Hana

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Akeneo objects SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Reference entities and records Structured lookups like brands, manufacturers, or ingredients with their own records (Enterprise Edition); synced two-way or read into a warehouse for reporting. Calculation views Modeled analytic views over base tables; read-only sources for pushing aggregated or joined results into a warehouse or downstream app. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Calculation views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assets Asset-family media (images, documents) managed in Akeneo's DAM; linked to products and synced to storefronts and commerce systems. SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. Assets is specific to Akeneo and SQL views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Channels and locales Target-market settings that scope attribute values; read to resolve which localized or channel-specific value to map on each side of a sync. Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Schemas to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Media files Product images and files uploaded via the media endpoint; referenced by products and pushed to downstream commerce and content systems. Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Sequences to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products Core catalog records addressed by UUID (recommended) or identifier/SKU; synced two-way with databases, ERPs, and storefronts. Values are scoped per channel and locale. Triggers AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers capture changes into a shadow/logging table so updates and deletes are detected near-real-time without full scans. Products is specific to Akeneo and Triggers to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. System-versioned temporal tables Column store tables with a history table tracking each row's validity period; used to reconstruct update and delete history for change capture. Product models is specific to Akeneo and System-versioned temporal tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and SAP Hana

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Akeneo SAP Hana Sub-second propagation

DetectionAkeneo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to SAP Hana as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SAP Hana Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Akeneo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Akeneo: REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.
  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.

How the Akeneo and SAP Hana connectors work

Akeneo

Integration surface
REST API (plus a GraphQL API) and an Events API for webhooks
Authentication
OAuth2 password grant: client_id/secret plus an API user's username/password exchanged at /api/oauth/v1/token for a bearer access_token and refresh_token; Apps use the OAuth2 authorization-code flow
Change detection
Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents; product.updated.delta carries old and new values); falls back to polling the 'updated' datetime search filter where the Events API is unavailable
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.

SAP Hana

Integration surface
SQL over the SAP HANA client (JDBC/ODBC drivers); OData/REST via XS for app-layer access
Authentication
Dedicated database user credentials over an encrypted TLS connection (password sent hashed); Kerberos, SAML, JWT, and X.509 certificate authentication are also supported. SAP HANA Cloud enforces TLS and IP allowlisting.
Change detection
Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table; system-versioned temporal tables and SLT/SDI provide trigger- and log-based CDC. No native webhooks.
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.
