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.
