About SAP Connector

Types

The BA Insight SAP Connector includes three different versions of the Connector: each provide you a different method of extracting data from SAP:

  • SAP BAPI Connector
    • Most robust model
    • Provides you with the ability to include attached files and fully secure the items at the row level by t-codes.
  • SAP Batch BAPI Connector
    • Similar to the Connector above, but expects the BAPI to return all the records in a single table.
    • Reduces overhead but limits the Connector’s security mapping and file attachment capabilities.
    • Enables batch data to be extracted from SAP BAPI's.
  • SAP BW Query Connector
    • Extracts data directly from BW Cube queries and requires no BAPI development.
    • Reduces overhead
    • Capabilities around security mapping and file attachments are limited.
