- Log-based capture of tables with LOB column (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- Log-based capture from hidden rowid/RRN column (ColumnProperties with parameter CaptureFromRowId) (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- Rewind log-based capture to specific time (hvractivate option -i) (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- Online refresh using accurate LSN/SCN (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- Multiple log-based capture jobs can capture from same database (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- Log-based capture checkpointing using location property Capture_Checkpoint_Frequency (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- Read archives from an alternative directory (location property Archive_Log_Path on the capture location) (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
HVR does not support the following capabilities on SAP HANA:
- Access to logs using SQL interface.
- Rewind log-based capture to the beginning of currently active oldest transaction.
- Populates column hvr_cap_user for use in ColumnProperties {hvr_cap_user} substitutions.
- Log-based capture of truncate table statements.
- Capture from tables with basic compression.
- Trigger-based capture (using the location property Capture_Method=DB_TRIGGER at the capture location). This method has been deprecated since 6.2.0/0..
Repository Database
HVR does not support Repository database on SAP HANA.

- Integrate with parameter BurstCommitFrequency (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- Continuous integration (Integrate with parameter Method=CONTINUOUS) (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- ColumnProperties with parameter SoftDelete (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- Bulk load requires a staging area (location property Staging_Directory) (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- Creation and update of HVR state tables (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
HVR does not support the following capabilities on SAP HANA:
- Append integration into TimeKey (Integrate with parameter Method=APPEND).
- Tables without a key and without TableProperties with NoDuplicateRows for continuous integration.
- Continuous integrate with parameter OnErrorSaveFailed.
- Disable/enable database triggers during integrate (with parameter NoTriggerFiring).
- Integrate with parameter DbProc.
Bi-directional Replication
HVR supports the following capabilities on SAP HANA:
- Detection of changes made by HVR in a bidirectional channel to prevent loop-back (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08, state table needs to be created before replication starts).
- CollisionDetect with parameter TimestampColumn (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
HVR does not support the following capabilities on SAP HANA:
- CollisionDetect with Log-based Capture (without parameter TimestampColumn).
Refresh and Compare
HVR supports the following capabilities on SAP HANA:
- hvrrefresh or hvrcompare from source location (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- hvrrefresh into target location (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- Isolated table hvrrefresh (option -i) into target location (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- Row-wise hvrrefresh into target location (option -g) (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
Other Capabilities
HVR supports the following capabilities on SAP HANA:
- Call database procedure dbproc during replication jobs (AgentPlugin with parameter DbProc) (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
- International table and column names where DBMS is not configured with UTF-8 encoding (SAP HANA from version 2.0 SPS 00 to version 2.0 SPS 08).
