SAP Connector - Why do you use it?

[richho_microp]

Hello one and all,

I come from an Oracle background and we currently use flat files extracted from the database to populate our QVD's and applications but I'm just about to embark on a project to integrate one of our sister companies into Qlikview and they've suggested that we use SAP connector to retreive the data.  I appologies for my ignorance but why do you need a SAP connector rather than getting flat files out of SAP?

Your thoughts and opinions would be gratefully recevied.

Cheers

Richard

Hi,

they offered us a websession for free and showed us how to install it and configure it and they gave us some best practices. So we have done the whole implementation by ourselves. We have had some questions but we directly called their support.

They offered us some partners who can implement the project for us but we don't need that.
