Why teams connect Box and SAP Hana
Keep SAP Hana and Box in step: a row in SAP Hana for every file in Box, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.
A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in SAP Hana says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Box holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.
Stacksync syncs SQL views, Schemas, Sequences, Triggers in SAP Hana with Users, Groups, Tasks, Events in Box bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.
Common use cases
- 01 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.
- 02 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
- 03 Provision and deprovision Users, Groups, and Collaborations from an HR system or IdP so Box access follows onboarding and offboarding.
- 04 Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.
Common sync patterns
Continuous archival to file storage
Rows from SAP Hana are written out to Box as files on a schedule or as they change, giving a durable, low-cost copy for backup, compliance, or a data lake, without a custom export job to maintain.
A queryable index of the file store
Every file or object in Box shows up as a row in SAP Hana, with its name, folder or key, size, type, and modified date as columns, so the contents of the store can be listed, filtered, and joined like any other table.
File metadata kept in step
Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in SAP Hana write back to the matching file's metadata in Box, and metadata changed in Box updates the row, so the two never disagree about a file.
What you can sync between Box 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.
| Box objects | SAP Hana objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Groups Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP. | SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. | Groups is specific to Box and SQL views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tasks Review or approval assignments on a file with due dates and states; read for workflow reporting or written to start approvals. | Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. | Tasks is specific to Box and Schemas to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Events Enterprise admin event stream, an audit log of uploads, deletes, logins, and shares across the account; read-only, consumed for reporting or change feeds. | Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. | Events is specific to Box and Sequences to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Files Core content object with versions, name, size, and metadata; synced two-way so files and their attributes move between Box and a database or another store. | 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. | Files is specific to Box and Triggers to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Folders Hierarchical containers whose tree, names, and parent moves are mirrored so a target system reflects Box's structure; the account root is always folder ID 0. | 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. | Folders is specific to Box and System-versioned temporal tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Metadata Structured key-value instances attached to files and folders via metadata templates; synced two-way with database columns for classification and search. | System views (SYS schema) Catalog and monitoring views such as SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS; read to discover schema and auto-generate field mappings for new tables. | Metadata is specific to Box and System views (SYS schema) to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Box 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.
Box SAP Hana Sub-second propagation
DetectionBox notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to SAP Hana as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
SAP Hana Box 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 Box through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Box: Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.
- 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.

Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Box and SAP Hana: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Box's Groups and Tasks), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Box and SAP Hana records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Box and SAP Hana connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Box–SAP Hana integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Box and SAP Hana. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Box: V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED; the Events API (user stream via long-poll by stream_position, or enterprise/admin events) provides a near-real-time change feed. On SAP Hana: 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. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the SAP Hana side: SQL views, Schemas, Sequences, Triggers, plus custom fields where SAP Hana exposes them. On the Box side: Users, Groups, Tasks, Events. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
