Prior to Hana SP9 SAP suggested to use different tools to get data into Hana: Data Services (DS), System Landscape Transformation (SLT), Smart Data Access (SDA), Sybase Replication Server (SRS), Hana Cloud Integration – DS (HCI-DS),… to name the most important ones. You used Data Services for batch transformations of virtually any sources, SLT for realtime replication of a few supported databases with little to no transformations, HCI-DS when it comes to copying database tables into the cloud etc.
With the Hana Smart Data Integration feature you get all in one package plus any combination, when it comes to loading a single Hana instance.
