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.
