Why teams connect Eloqua and SAP Hana

Give your team Eloqua's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in SAP Hana: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Eloqua, and skip the marketing API.

Eloqua holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in SAP Hana, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, Accounts, Custom Data Objects, Activities from Eloqua into Sequences, Triggers, System-versioned temporal tables, System views (SYS schema) in SAP Hana field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in SAP Hana, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Eloqua to drive campaigns and ads, with Eloqua kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

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 Two-way sync Contacts between Eloqua and a Postgres or warehouse table, matched on email, so ops teams query and update marketing profiles in SQL while marketers keep working in Eloqua.
  • 04 Export email opens, clicks, form submits, and bounces from the Bulk API Activities export into a warehouse for lead scoring and multi-touch attribution.

Common sync patterns

Query Eloqua like a database

Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Eloqua live in SAP Hana as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data and reachable without touching the vendor API.

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in SAP Hana from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Eloqua as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.

Engagement and results next to the customer

Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Eloqua land in SAP Hana beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.

What you can sync between Eloqua 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.

Eloqua objects SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Forms and Form Submits Form definitions and their submission data, accessed through the Application REST API; submissions read out into a warehouse for lead capture and analysis. SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. Forms and Form Submits is specific to Eloqua and SQL views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contact Lists and Segments Shared lists (static) and segments (dynamic audiences); Contacts are added to or removed from shared lists based on lifecycle stage computed downstream. Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. Contact Lists and Segments is specific to Eloqua and Schemas to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Core person records, keyed on email address as the unique identifier; imported/exported via the Bulk API and upserted on email, synced two-way with CRM, warehouse, and app databases. Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. Contacts is specific to Eloqua and Sequences to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Company records linked to Contacts via the account-linkage field; moved through the Bulk API and typically mastered in a CRM or ERP and written into Eloqua. 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. Accounts is specific to Eloqua and Triggers to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Data Objects Auxiliary data tables (CDOs) linked to Contacts for records like event registrations or purchases; synced via the Bulk API so nurture campaigns can branch on them. 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. Custom Data Objects is specific to Eloqua and System-versioned temporal tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities Engagement events (email opens, clicks, form submits, bounces, page views, subscribes/unsubscribes) exported through the Bulk API activities export; read-only feed for scoring and attribution. 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. Activities is specific to Eloqua and System views (SYS schema) to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Eloqua 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.

Eloqua SAP Hana Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Eloqua for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via Bulk API exports filtered on a contact/account modified-date field using EML filter syntax.

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

SAP Hana Eloqua 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 Eloqua through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Eloqua: Per-instance soft limits by sync type (Export 2,000/hr, Import 2,000/hr, Sync Action 4,000/hr); 32 MB cap per POST to a staging area and 50,000 records per retrieve batch.
  • 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.
