Use the
Extract
from R/3 wizard in SAS Management Console to extract
SAP R/3 metadata to SAS data sets. You can use it to specify which
metadata you want to extract from your SAP R/3 system. For example,
you can extract metadata for a specific range of SAP R/3 tables. After
you pre-extract the SAP R/3 metadata, you can perform these tasks.
-
-
Select which tables you want to
use as data sources in SAS Data Integration Studio.
-
Write metadata about those data
sources to your metadata repository.
Pre-extracting your
SAP R/3 metadata with the
Extract from R/3 wizard
improves performance when you are browsing, and you can perform text-based
searches on extracted metadata. When you can access SAP metadata,
you can know more about the data in your SAP R/3 tables. This knowledge
helps you identify the data sources that you want to use in SAS Data
Integration Studio.
The
Extract
from R/3 wizard contains these windows.
