Why teams connect SAP S/4HANA and Starburst Enterprise

Put SAP S/4HANA's records in Starburst Enterprise as live tables for reporting and analysis, without extract jobs, and write results back where SAP S/4HANA can use them.

ERP data is some of the most asked-for data in the warehouse and some of the hardest to get: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and extract jobs are brittle. Whether SAP S/4HANA carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, the analysis belongs in Starburst Enterprise next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Business Partners, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Products / Materials from SAP S/4HANA into tables in Starburst Enterprise continuously, managing API limits and schema drift along the way. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Starburst Enterprise can be written back to fields in SAP S/4HANA where that is useful.

Common use cases

  • 01 Expose Iceberg or Hive lake tables to sync jobs through one SQL endpoint without moving the data first
  • 02 Consolidate reads from multiple databases behind a single connection instead of maintaining one integration per source
  • 03 Feed S/4HANA financial and logistics documents into a data warehouse for reporting without custom ABAP extracts.
  • 04 Keep supplier records aligned between S/4HANA procurement and third-party spend platforms.

Common sync patterns

Write-back where SAP S/4HANA exposes writable fields

Classifications or reference values computed in Starburst Enterprise sync back onto the corresponding records in SAP S/4HANA.

Where SAP S/4HANA holds the books: finance reporting from live data

Financial records land in Starburst Enterprise as they change, so period-end reporting queries current numbers rather than last night's extract.

Where SAP S/4HANA is the HR system of record: workforce analytics

Worker and organization data syncs into Starburst Enterprise for headcount, cost, and planning analysis alongside other company data.

What you can sync between SAP S/4HANA and Starburst Enterprise

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.

SAP S/4HANA objects Starburst Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Journal Entries Financial postings read into warehouses and consolidation tools for reporting. Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source. Journal Entries is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Catalogs to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customer / Supplier Roles Role-specific views of Business Partners mapped to CRM account types. Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas. Customer / Supplier Roles is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Schemas to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Production Orders Manufacturing order status surfaced in planning and operations tools. Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them. Production Orders is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Tables to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Business Partners Unified customer and supplier master records, the anchor entity for CRM-to-ERP account syncs. Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out. Business Partners is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales Orders Order headers and line items synced to CRMs and fulfillment systems as they are created or amended. Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper. Sales Orders is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Materialized views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase Orders Procurement documents shared with supplier portals and spend-management tools. Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types. Purchase Orders is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Columns to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SAP S/4HANA and Starburst Enterprise

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.

SAP S/4HANA Starburst Enterprise Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SAP S/4HANA for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on change timestamps exposed by the OData services.

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

Starburst Enterprise SAP S/4HANA Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Starburst Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to SAP S/4HANA through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • SAP S/4HANA: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by edition and communication arrangement.
  • Starburst Enterprise: Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas.
