SAP Integration with Microsoft Fabric

Easily Connect SAP and Microsoft Fabric with Xtract Universal.

Microsoft Fabric provides an end-to-end analytics and data platform for data movement, processing, ingestion, transformation, real-time event routing, and reporting. Our Microsoft Fabric SAP Connector, Xtract Universal, transfers data from SAP ERP, SAP BW, BW/4HANA, and S/4HANA directly into OneLake, Azure SQL, or Synapse Analytics. You update data incrementally, leverage Open Mirroring, and use flexible ODP alternatives, ensuring SAP data integrates efficiently, remains current, and requires no manual adjustments in Microsoft Fabric.

The Challenge: Integrating SAP Data into Microsoft Fabric

Integrating SAP data into Microsoft Fabric involves several key factors:

  • Real-time processing of large datasets: Critical business data from finance, logistics, or sales needs to be available almost instantly.
  • Complex data structures: High volumes and diverse SAP objects complicate integration.
  • ODP limitations: SAP Note 3255746 restricts the use of ODP Data Replication APIs for ABAP sources, which may require adapting or redesigning existing workflows.

Companies need a solution that reliably extracts, processes, and transfers SAP data into Microsoft Fabric without disrupting existing processes, enabling real-time analysis.

Flexibility and Efficiency in SAP Data Integration

Xtract Universal offers a wide range of components to process SAP data efficiently and flexibly:

  • Table, Table CDC, and DeltaQ for incremental and full data loads
  • ODP extension supporting both RFC modules and the OData API
  • Change Data Capture (CDC) and SAP DataSources to minimize resource usage
  • Optimized mass data processing that avoids performance bottlenecks and conserves resources

This enables companies to integrate large SAP data volumes into Microsoft Fabric efficiently and resource-consciously, perform real-time analytics on up-to-date data, and simultaneously simplify their IT processes.

Your Advanages with Xtract Universal

Real-time Data Analysis SAP and Microsoft Fabric

With the integrated Table CDC feature, you can incrementally replicate data from almost any SAP table to OneLake in real time without using ODP.

Large Number of Components

Xtract Universal offers a wide range of components to replicate data from many different data objects in ECC, S/4HANA, BW, and BW/4HANA.

High-Performance SAP Data Replication in Microsoft Fabric

With Xtract Universal, you can integrate large datasets into MS Fabric efficiently using custom function modules.

SAP to Microsoft Fabric Open Mirroring

Xtract Universal also supports Microsoft's Open Mirroring technology. This is especially well-suited for processing incremental data replication in OneLake due to its advanced features and design principles.

Alternatives to ODP RFC

Xtract Universal provides many alternatives to replicate data from SAP without using ODP RFC, in accordance with SAP Notes.

Our customer LANXESS has aligned its digitalization strategy with Microsoft Azure and required an efficient solution for transferring data from SAP ERP and BW systems. With Xtract Universal, a powerful interface was implemented, enabling automated bulk data extraction. Over 500 employees benefit from fast, incremental data transfers, which are crucial for timely, data-driven decisions.

When we build an extraction once, it runs automatically as many times as needed. Since many of our projects require SAP data multiple times a day, this brings a huge time advantage. Furthermore, Xtract Universal allows bulk data to be extracted extremely quickly and incrementally. This is crucial, for example, for retrieving the SAP table BSEG (accounting documents) to provide consuming applications with up-to-date data.
