AZURE SQL SERVER INTEGRATION SERVICE INTERFACE
Xtract IS for Azure – Plug’n’Play for SAP and Azure SQL Server Integration Services
„Xtract IS is a really intelligent interface thanks to the available delta logic – and it also comes at a very fair price.“
Christof Meier, Project Manager in charge at JUST AG
INTELLIGENT INTERFACE
The main features of Xtract IS for Azure
General
Seamless integration between SAP and Microsoft Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime.
Deploy, schedule and run your SSIS packages, containing Xtract IS for Azure components, on Microsoft’s Azure-SSIS IR (as a part of Microsoft Azure Data Factory v2). Leverage the proven SAP extraction capabilities of the On-Premises version of Xtract IS and simply move it to the Azure cloud.
The concept is a no-brainer: Develop On-Premises, run in the cloud.
And the best part: With Xtract IS for Azure you can either develop new SSIS packages from scratch or use your existing SSIS packages developed with Xtract IS Ultimate/Enterprise.
Xtract IS for Azure Table
To optimize the system load and network traffic, only the columns explicitly marked by the user are extracted.
It is also possible to process nearly any WHERE statement to suit the data to the user’s needs.
Xtract IS for Azure Table Join
The Table Join Component allows to mix/merge several tables. It is possible to join tables for document headers and items into one single resultset.
The Join-process takes place entirely within the SAP system, which does not require to download each single table anymore.
- Table-comprehensive selection criteria
- Creating a view in SAP manually not necessary anymore
- Supports aggregations and criteria within the aggregation
- Granularity of data will be scaled down
- Optimization of extraction performance
Xtract IS for Azure Query
SAP queries are so popular as data suppliers because tables can be joined on the SAP end without any developer authorization. With Xtract IS Query, you can make your SAP queries directly available in the Integration Services. With a graphical user interface and full metadata support, the result is available for further processing within seconds.
Xtract IS for Azure BAPI
With the Xtract IS BAPI component you can call BAPIs or RFC function modules directly from your SSIS data flow. In doing so, the component can be regarded as a source, trans-formation or target.
Xtract IS for Azure BW Cube
Xtract IS BW Cube is a data source for SQL Server Integration Services (2005 – 2014) with which datasets can be extracted from SAP BW InfoCubes and BW queries. The dimensions, key figures and attributes to be transferred can simply be dragged and dropped into the query output. This turns complex, cubic data structures into relational data that are easy to handle.
Xtract IS for Azure OHS
Compared to traditional BW extraction via the OLAP API, the Open Hub Services (OHS) were developed by SAP so that the extraction of BW data could be made available for further electronic processing instead of just pure reporting.
Xtract IS for Azure BW Loader
With the Xtract IS BW Loader data target, you can reroute data streams within your SSIS data flow directly in your SAP BW system. The corresponding BW InfoPackage is automatically triggered and filled in.
Xtract IS for Azure Hierarchy
Unfortunately, Open Hub Services do not support extraction from BW hierarchies. Due to this, the Xtract IS Hierarchy component was developed. It makes it possible to extract all hierarchy types from the BW. The image below shows the component at the design time. If necessary, hierarchy texts can also be read in.
Xtract IS for Azure Report
The Xtract IS Report data source for SSIS allows you to use existing ABAP reports or ABAP programs as data sources within the SSIS data flow. This technique is often used in the area of FI/CO reporting.
Xtract IS for Azure DeltaQ
The Xtract IS DeltaQ component forms the top class of the BI components for SAP access by SSIS. With its help, the Extractor API in SAP R/3 can be addressed and in such, the functionality with which BW systems also secure their data supply from the production system can be used.
