What it purpose of SAP connector ?

[paulyeo11]

Hi All

I heard of QV have develop the SAP connector , but I never use before . Because I don't have SAP system with me.

In next few month I will have it , so I like to know what benefit it can bring to us ?

Hope some one can share with me.

I can imagine with the SAP connect , when I reload the QV , it will.be able pull all the table to QV QVW file. For example sales order table , AP , AR,  GL Table will be import to QV.

And allow use to modify the script to define what field user load and not to load depending on individual user requirements.  Hope some one can confirm with me.

Hi Paul,

Which SAP system are your getting?  Some of them require the connector and others don't.  SAP Business One, for example, just has a SQL back end, so no extra connectors are required.

You will need the connectors for some of the more heavy duty SAP systems, and probably someone who knows about SAP transports to help you implement your extracts.

Hope that helps,

Steve
