In the cloud connector for Data Intelligence Cloud, if you create the RFC connection with the Load Balancing option, what must match on the connection-management side?

Why can't SAP LT Replication Server write directly to a flat file or a cloud application, so that a second tool like SAP Data Services or SAP Data Intelligence Cloud is always required?

You need real-time delta into a hyperscaler target and must pick between the SLT + SAP Data Services hybrid and the SLT + SAP Data Intelligence Cloud hybrid. Which one do you choose when the target is a native cloud application (e.g. Azure Data Lake Gen2)?

When the SOURCE system goes down during replication (either cloud hybrid), what is the recommended action to prevent SLT filling up with errors, and what is the data impact?

While SLT itself is down, source triggers keep firing. What is the second-order consequence you must watch on the SOURCE system?

This is the key outage discriminator for the cloud chapter: when the CONSUMER tool goes down (Data Services vs Data Intelligence Cloud), does the data stay safe?

Mechanically, how does Data Services know where to resume after it comes back from an outage?
