Support start from timestamp option for Log-Table mode
For Replicate tasks using SAP HANA Log-Table source the option to start from timestamp is not supported. We can start from a source change position, but this isn't ideal for Replicate admins who don't have direct HANA access. In my case, I need to contact the SAP support team to run the query against the attrep_cdc_log table to get the SCN/LSN. Since the attrep_cdc_log is owned by the Replicate user I also need to provide the SAP support person the password since they don't have permissions on that table. Providing the start from timestamp option will increase security and reduce time and effort.
