Why teams connect Pigment and SAP Hana

Work with Pigment's financial data straight from SAP Hana: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Metrics, Dimension lists, Tables, Scenarios from Pigment into Column store tables, Row store tables, Calculation views, SQL views in SAP Hana and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against SAP Hana, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Pigment with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep dimension lists such as departments and cost centers consistent with master data in the ERP.
  • 02 Sync headcount and compensation data from an HRIS into workforce planning models.
  • 03 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Pigment live in SAP Hana as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on SAP Hana; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Pigment.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in SAP Hana propagate into Pigment, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between Pigment 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.

Pigment objects SAP Hana objects How this pairing syncs
Applications Planning models organized by domain such as finance, sales, or workforce Row store tables OLTP-oriented tables held fully in memory; read and written the same way through the SAP HANA client for high-write operational tables. Applications is specific to Pigment and Row store tables to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data Calculation views Modeled analytic views over base tables; read-only sources for pushing aggregated or joined results into a warehouse or downstream app. Metrics is specific to Pigment and Calculation views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dimension lists Master data like accounts, products, or employees that metrics are sliced by SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. Dimension lists is specific to Pigment and SQL views to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Row-based transactional data loaded into models from source systems Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. Tables is specific to Pigment and Schemas to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scenarios Versions such as budget, forecast, and actuals that give exported figures their context Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. Scenarios is specific to Pigment and Sequences to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data imports Scheduled loads that bring actuals from ERPs, CRMs, and HRIS into the model 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. Data imports is specific to Pigment and Triggers to SAP Hana — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Pigment 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.

Pigment SAP Hana Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pigment for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No change feed.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Pigment: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
  • 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.
