Use the
SAP
R/3 Register Tables wizard in SAS Data Integration Studio
to access data in your SAP R/3 system. You can use it to perform these
tasks:
-
Browse SAP R/3 table metadata.
-
-
Extract SAP R/3 table metadata
or create a job that you can use to extract SAP R/3 hierarchy or group
metadata to SAS data sets.
After you use the
Extract from R/3 wizard,
you can use the
SAP R/3 Register Tables wizard
to perform these tasks:
-
Select which data sources you want
to use in SAS Data Integration Studio.
-
Write metadata about those data
sources to your metadata repository.
As an alternative, you
can extract metadata by using the
SAP R/3 Register Tables wizard
to dynamically access your SAP R/3 system. In this case, you can view
metadata for a subset of SAP R/3 tables or create a job to extract
metadata from SAP R/3 hierarchies or groups at a later time.
Using metadata that
was previously extracted to SAS data sets improves performance. It
also lets you perform text-based searches on the table metadata that
has been extracted.
Because the
SAP
R/3 Register Tables wizard provides View access to SAP
R/3 metadata, here are the benefits to you:
-
You can know more about your SAP
R/3 data.
-
You have better access to data
that is stored in SAP R/3 tables and columns.
-
You can use the analytical power
of SAS Data Integration Studio to further analyze your SAP R/3 data.
The
SAP
R/3 Register Tables wizard contains these windows.
