Sap Extractor - Idoc Vs. TFC

sogloqlik — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 21:25:19 GMT

Hi.

We Want to Implement the SAP Extractor connector over SAP ERP (Not SAP BW). In the official help it is written that "The Extractor Connector contains two different options": Either IDOC or TRFC.

What are the pros. and cons. when using each one of the above? (Beside the fact that with TRFC we can have parallel loads for each logical system and only One with IDOCS)

Regards,

Motty.

Hi Motty,

The IDoc transfer method has a limitation of 1000 characters for the width of a row in an Extractor (The sum of the number of characters of all fields in the Extractor). The tRFC method has no limitation. The tRFC method might also have better performance.

Håkan
