BOARD Connector

What is BOARD Connector?

An easy-to-use graphical interface will allow you to easily deploy your data flows securely and extract bulk data in a few clicks with high performance and stability.

The BOARD Connector for use with SAP offers 8 components to interoperate with all types of SAP interface technologies.

Table

The Table component allows you to extract bulk data directly from SAP data tables. To optimize system load and network traffic, only columns explicitly marked by the user are extracted.

QueryThe Query component makes your SAP queries directly available in BOARD. With a graphical user interface and full metadata support, the result is available for further processing in a matter of seconds.

BAPI and function modules

With the BAPI component you can call BAPIs or RFC function modules directly from your BOARD DataReader.

Scaling import and export parameters can be transferred through dynamic variables. If individual module tables are not required, they can of course be ignored.

BW Cube e BW Query

The BW Cube component extracts datasets from SAP BW InfoCubes. Dimensions, key figures, and attributes to be transferred can simply be dragged and dropped in the query output. Simple and complex query variables are also supported.

Serviços Open Hub (OHS)

You can use OHS for BW data extraction for additional electronic processing instead of just absolute reports.

Extremely large data volumes through asynchronous packages and processes in the background

Possible Delta Extraction

Not only cubes, but also InfoObjects, ODS objects, texts, etc.

Definition of extraction with the help of InfoSpokes (BW 3.5) or data transfer processes (BI 7.0)

Hierarchy

The Hierarchy component makes it possible to extract all hierarchy types from the BW. If necessary, hierarchy texts can also be read.

Report

The Report component allows you to use existing ABAP reports or ABAP programs as data sources within the BOARD DataReader.

This technology is often used in the FI/CO reporting area.

DeltaQ

·          The DeltaQ component forms the top class of BI components for SAP access per BOARD. With your help, the Extractor API in SAP ERP can be addressed (i.e. accessed) and in this process the functionality with which BW systems also ensure their data delivery from the production system can be used.
