Workflow To Extract SAP Data

 

Among the most important functions of the SAP Data Service software application is the capability to transform and integrate data. Due to this, users can develop and execute workflows to extract SAP data from different sources. These include databases, data stores, web services, and applications. 

There are several uses that this extracted data can be put to. 

·         Organizations use it for carrying out real-time analytics after formatting and processing it to match their exclusive requirements. 

·         The extracted SAP data is also used to query Data Services. This leads to quick responses as per a pre-determined workflow. 

·         The data extracted is also used for batch processing which was the older version of data transformation. 

·          The BW Extractor, also called the SAP Extractor is a part of the optimized data management facets of SAP. It is the ideal tool to extract SAP data from the source systems for storing in business intelligence systems or downstream data warehouses.

In short, the goal of the SAP Extractor is to extract SAP data for feeding SAP applications. The benefit here is that this function is used to integrate data with an SAP Extractor even when an SAP client is not using the BW.


Types Of SAP Data Extractors

There are three types of SAP extractors used to extract SAP data. 

·         Application Specific Content Extractors: These are used to extract SAP data with BW content, FI, HR, CO, SAP CRM, and LO cockpit.

·         Application Specific Customer-Generated Extractors: These are used for the extraction of data that is related to LIS, FI-SL, and CO-PA. 

·         Cross Application Generic Extractors: These work exclusively with the DB View, Infoset, and Function Modules.

The type of Extractor used by organizations to extract SAP data depends on their precise needs.

The Development of the Oracle Change Data Capture Technology

Image
  Oracle CDC ( Change Data Capture) was first launched by the company as a built-in tool in Oracle databases along with its 9i version. It was to record and track changes in the user tables in a database. These changes were stored in change tables to be later processed and transferred to other data warehouses and databases.  The first version of this technology had triggers placed in source databases and was not widely accepted, as it was considered too invasive. Based on this feedback from users, Oracle brought a change to the Oracle CDC , named it Oracle Streams, and released it with the 10g version.   The second version, named Oracle Streams, was more refined and widely accepted. It used the redo logs of the source database in combination with an in-built replication tool of Oracle Streams. Thus, any change was quickly noticed, with the change data being moved to a target data repository without affecting the performance or speed of the source database. What gave this...

How to Optimize Oracle on Amazon S3 Platform

Image
  Oracle is a proprietary relational database management system (RDMS). It is primarily used for Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and data warehousing. Most applications, such as GNU/LINUX and Windows Server, merge easily into the database. Oracle is ACID-compliant, which adds an extra layer of security, data integrity, and reliability to the database. Given these attributes, why would organizations want to move databases from Oracle to S3 , the Simple Storage Service from Amazon? Amazon S3 is a cloud-based data warehousing solution that is ideal for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP). S3 ensures a high level of data availability, scalability, performance, and storage. There are several ways that S3 increases the efficiency of Oracle databases, with the most important being the lowering of payouts to Oracle. It is also wise to move entire databases from Oracle to S3, given the many benefits that such a move brings to the table. However, whether it suits specific organiz...

An Insight Into Microsoft SQL Server Change Data Capture (CDC)

Image
SQL Server CDC (Change Data Capture) uses SQL Server to make changes like insert, update, and delete. The details of the changes can be accessed in a simple relational format. All inputs to capture the changes to a target ecosystem, like metadata and column information, are available for the modified and changed rows. The changes are captured and stored in tables that mirror the structure of the columns of the tracked stored tables. Necessary table-valued functions control the access to this change data. The SQL Server CDC technology ensures a smooth flow of change data that is structured to help users apply it to various target platforms.   Types of SQL Server Change Data Capture There are two types of SQL Server CDC. Log-based CDC : Here, the transaction log and file of a database are analyzed by the system to know about the changes made at the source. Next, all changes made at the source are replicated to the target database. The main benefit of this form of SQL Server CD...
