Loading data directly from the SAP database
When you want to use an SAP Connector with data loaded directly from the SAP database you must take the following action to configure this correctly.
- Set up Native SAP Connection;
- Configure the SAP Connector for the SAP connection.
See (Set up Native SAP Extraction for a detailed description on how to connect directly to the SAP database using the native SAP connection.
Z_XTRACT_IS_TABLE
must be installed on your SAP system.
To load the data from the SAP database you need an SAP account to be used to retrieve data. For reasons of compliance and data protection you must make sure that this SAP account used to retrieve data has limited access to SAP and only has the appropriate authorizations. See Set up Native SAP Extraction - Prerequisites.
Note that it is possible that the user who performs the actual data load from SAP has access to more data in Process Mining after loading the data than this user has in SAP, depending on the SAP authorizations of the user.
In order to load data correctly you must specify the following settings in the SAP Connector:
SAP Setting |

SAP Host |
