Multiple log-based replication issues may affect Qlik Replicate customers using SAP HANA DB 2.0 who are upgrading to the SAP HANA service packs SPS7 and SPS8.
What problems have been identified?
SAP HANA DB 2.0 SPS7 (Service Pack 7):
- RECOB-9379: SAP Hana Log-Based SPS7 (73 and 76) version date and timestamp columns replicating as NULL
- RECOB-9427: SAP HANA log-based task erroring when the log position was at the end of the transaction log
RECOB-9379 and RECOB-9427 have been addressed by Qlik. An early build (Qlik Replicate 2024.11, SP03 Early Build) is available.

No other issues in Service Pack 7 are known.
SAP HANA DB 2.0 SPS8 (Service Pack 8):
- RECOB-9652: There is still ongoing work in R&D related to DML operations failing to get data values in Hana Log Based SP08 (80 & 81).
What action can be taken?
Customers planning to upgrade to SPS7 or SPS8 should be aware of the risk, particularly with the changes to Hana logs affecting the Hana log parsing with respective to Qlik Replicate. We strongly advise postponing any upgrades to these versions until Qlik R&D has reviewed and certified these service packs.
What about trigger-based replication?
Qlik has not received any reports of customers using trigger-based replication experiencing the same issues. However, if an upgrade is planned, we recommend thoroughly testing in lower environments before scheduling any production upgrades.
Thank you for choosing Qlik,
