Hi Rahul,
to connect to SAP you need SAP connector, in the SAP connector there already have SAP BW connector & function.
Regards,
You need to create the connection string. Just open the script editor and select SAPconnector and click on 'Connect'. A dialogue box will open up. Enter the SAP server credentials in that dialogue box and then click on 'Test Connection'. Once the test connection is sucessful, clic OK and your connection string will appear in the script editor.
After creating Connection string you just need to write the script for the tables you want to fetch.
for example:
Load * ;
SQL Select * from PA9100;
store PA9100 into $(vDestination)PA9100.qvd;
drop table PA9100;
It is a good practice to first fetch the tables and store them into qvd and after that use those qvds in the data model.
Would you pls. elaborate the same with any example. i have tride it by SAP BW OLE. At begining, it
says 'Test conection succedded' but again nothing further. Please explain it setp by step with an example. It would be great help to me.
Hi Rahul,
To access SAP tables you need to download and install SAP connector, and just normally use how you usually use ODBC and OLE DB drivers.

QlikView recommends connecting to SAP using Remote Function Calls, SAP’s recommended method, not an ODBC or OLEDB connection to the underlying database.
Advantages of the QlikView SAP Connector over ODBC:
Info about the SAP Connector can be found in this PDF download: http://www.qlik.com/uk//~/media/Files/resource-library/global-us/direct/datasheets/qlikview11/DS-Qli...
Hi rahul,
for SAP BW there is two types of connector which is OLAP Connector or DSO/ODS connector.
after you choose one of them and success to connect there will be another for each connection, if OLAP there will be cube button, if DSO/ODS there will be DSO/ODS button. and you can choose the table that you like to used.
hope it can be help.
Regards,
