is it as easy as with other ODBC/OLEDB connections ?

Hi Christian

the connection is not hard to maintain, but you have to know advanced understanding of the SAP application you're working with (ERP modules, BI/BW, CRM etc....)

In order to set up the connector you need 5 minutes in install it on your QlikView desktop.

However, you require some installation done in SAP - for that you will need a SAP-Basis person who will setup the connector in SAP side (Import Change Requests, create a proper User and setup Authorizations )

All of these actions are detailed in the Manual

After that you will be required to exactly understand what you need to extract and how you're gonna extract it. This means knowing SAP... so I guess you will need an SAP guy for that

Thank you Yaniv,

That's perfect. I just have to dig into manual to connect it.

Other part of the job is just as usual

Have a good Week-end

Follow-up question regarding SAP connector.

If you are upgrading SAP connector.

Does the upgrade part goes on both system Qlikview & SAP. or just the QlikView server portion gets updated and SAP portion remains unchanged.

You should always install the Transports that come with the new SAP Connector. I think the Connector exchanges some version stuff with SAP.

so Transports is the part that sits on SAP server.

connector sits on QV server.

In general, yes. Some nuances:

There is more SAP stuff to install than just the Transports, &

SAP Connector will probably reside on a Developer PC as well.

If you are not a SAP administrator, you shouldn't seek that responsability. Leave that to the regular SAP administrator. Risks and associated costs can be very high (when tampering with a live SAP production machine) and you lack the knowledge to make right what you might do wrong.

I have some knowledge of SAP externals and internals but I refuse to touch a client's SAP system. I learned that best practice from one of the Connector designers and I think it's a sound policy.

Best,

Peter
