Synchronize SAP S/4HANA

November 4, 2026

After Edge is ready to integrate SAP S/4HANA, you can start the synchronization process. Synchronizing SAP S/4HANA is the process of integrating metadata from SAP S/4HANA and making it available in Collibra. You can either synchronize manually or automate the process by adding a synchronization schedule.

Prerequisites

In your Collibra environment:

To use the SAP S/4HANA integration, you must have Collibra Platform 2026.07 or newer, and either:
- Edge 2026.6.35 or newer
- Edge 2026.3.126 or newer
You have added an SAP S/4HANA connection.
You have created an SAP S/4HANA capability.
You have a resource role with the Configure external system resource permission, for example, Owner.
You have a global role with the Catalog global permission, for example, Catalog Author.
You have a global role with the View Edge connections and capabilities global permission, for example, Edge integration engineer.

Steps

On the main toolbar, click → Catalog.
The Catalog homepage opens.
Click Integrations.
The Integrations page opens.
Click the Integration configuration tab.
In the Integration column, click the link for your SAP S/4HANA integration.
The integration settings page opens.
In the Synchronization configuration tab, click Add configuration.
Complete the fields as needed.

Field	Action	Required
Updated: <timestamp>	Click Updated: <timestamp> next to Synchronization configuration, where `timestamp` indicates the last time when the data was loaded from SAP S/4HANA. The SAP S/4HANA application components are loaded to the dropdown list of the Application components field. This can take some time. A scheduled refresh job is also automatically created when you complete the capability configuration. The scheduled refresh job appears on the Jobs dashboard of your Edge site with the same name as your metadata capability. Unlike the metadata synchronization job, it appears only on the Jobs dashboard and not in the Activities list. If two jobs with the same name appear on the Jobs dashboard, one is the scheduled refresh job and the other is the metadata synchronization job. By default, the scheduled refresh job runs daily at 23:00 server time.	No
System asset	Select the System asset in which you want to add the SAP S/4HANA assets.	Yes
Domain	Select a Collibra target domain to ingest the SAP S/4HANA assets. You can add more than one domain configuration.	Yes
Application components	Optionally, select one or more SAP application components to limit the scope of metadata ingestion. Application components are the highest-level functional grouping of the SAP product catalog. For example, FI (Financial Accounting), MM (Materials Management), or SD (Sales and Distribution). The list only shows the components available in your SAP system. If you leave this field empty, the integration filters on the Table filtering mode only. If you select one or more components, both filters apply. The integration ingests the tables and views that belong to the selected application component(s) and match the table filtering mode.	No
Technical Lineage	Enable technical lineage from SAP S/4HANA for your SAP S/4HANA assets. This option is set to No by default. Select Yes only if you want to enable technical lineage from SAP S/4HANA.The same synchronization capability additionally collects the relations between the integrated assets and uses this information for technical lineage processing.	Yes
Table filtering mode	Specify a set of tables to ingest for this domain. Select one of the following: Transparent Application Transparent Customer Transparent System Pooled Cluster Internal Table View Append Table All Explicitly listed tables only Custom (user-defined) filter	Yes
Table list	Required only if you selected Explicitly listed tables only in the Table filtering mode field. Enter a comma-separated list of table names, for example `[/1BS/SADL_V_NAM2],COPENDISPUTECASE`.	Yes
Custom table filter	The custom filter determines which tables to ingest. Required only if you selected Custom (user-defined) filter in the Table filtering mode field. Enter a valid SQL WHERE clause that is applied against the DD02L SAP system table. The integration ingests only the tables that match the clause. For example: `TABCLASS = 'TRANSP' AND CONTFLAG = 'A' AND AS4LOCAL = 'A'`	Yes

In the Synchronization Schedule section, click the Add synchronization schedule icon.

Enter the information.

Field	Description
Repeat	The interval when you want to synchronize automatically. The possible values are: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Cron expression.
Cron	The Quartz Cron expression that determines when the synchronization takes place. This field is only visible if you select `Cron expression` in the Repeat field.
Every	The day on which you want to synchronize, for example, Sunday. This field is only visible if you select `Weekly` in the Repeat field.
Every first	The day of the month on which you want to synchronize, for example, Tuesday. This field is only visible if you select `Monthly` in the Repeat field.
At	The time at which you want to synchronize automatically, for example, 14:00. You can only schedule on the hour. For example, you can add a synchronization schedule at 8:00, but not at 8:45. This field is only visible if you select `Daily`, `Weekly`, or `Monthly` in the Repeat field.
Time zone	The time zone for the schedule.
