Hi,
im a BI SQL Server developer, with no previous knowledge in SAP.
I need to extract data from Netweaver 7.x to SQL Server, using Theobald components.
My first problem was and is to identify the correct tables to extract data from. So, for example in TRAN COOIS, i got the attribute's name (ex. AUFNR) and structure (ex. IOHEADER) and program (PPIO_ENTRY). Then i've searched on the internet in sites like http://www.se80.co.uk/saptables/i/iohe/ioheader.htm and partially got the transparent tables.
So, i still have a problem, because, for example,AUFNR comes from table AUFK, but attribute KZEAR doesn't have a table mentioned.
Why does this happen? This must come from some table, or is there any "materialized" structure from where i can extract this?
I even tried to search for structure IOHEADER in Theobald xTract Table component but naturally it didn't find IOHEADER...
There is even an object called xTract Report, is it supposed to extract all data using this component with report PPIO_ENTRY?
The 2nd problem is that Theobald xTract Table fails extracting some tables because of some attribute types; at their site i've seen i need to create a Z-Module.
In the end, i need to extract all these related tables to SQL Server, with their foreign keys to relate them, can someone help me out?
Kind regards and TIA
