SAP Integration with Microsoft Fabric
Microsoft Fabric is an end-to-end analytics and data platform that provides businesses with a unified solution for data movement, processing, ingestion, transformation, real-time event routing, and reporting. An integral part of Microsoft Fabric is OneLake, the central, logical data store that serves as a unified data lake solution for the entire organization.
Whether for historical data queries, real-time analytics, or centralized storage of large datasets, Xtract Universal acts as a powerful SAP connector, enabling the reliable and secure replication of data from SAP ERP, SAP BW, BW/4HANA, and S/4HANA environments into OneLake.

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.

Rely on a central data foundation with Microsoft Fabric – for data-driven strategies that impress.
With Xtract Universal, SAP data integration into Microsoft Fabric is a breeze
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.
Optimized Data Analysis with SAP and Microsoft Fabric
Replicating SAP data into OneLake offers a range of benefits specifically designed to help departments and teams manage, analyze, and gain deeper insights from their data more efficiently while reducing costs and ensuring data security.
Some of these benefits include:
How Xtract Universal Works with Microsoft Fabric
- SAP Data Extraction
Supports data from tables, BW InfoCubes, BEx Queries, and DataSources, which can be seamlessly integrated into the structure of Microsoft Fabric. - Data Integration into OneLake
SAP data is directly transferred into OneLake – the central data platform within Microsoft Fabric – providing a unified foundation for analytics and reporting. - Incremental Data Updates
With Change Data Capture (CDC) and DeltaQ, data can be efficiently and resource-conservingly updated without the need for full reloads. - Optimized Data Merging with Fabric Mirroring
Fabric Mirroring enables the automatic merging of incremental SAP data with existing datasets in Microsoft Fabric. Xtract Universal ensures that the SAP data is available in the optimal format to support this process seamlessly. - Compatibility with Microsoft Services
Seamless integration with Microsoft services such as Azure Synapse Analytics and Power BI to enable end-to-end analytics.
