Palo SAP Connectivity

Load data from SAP R/3, SAP ERP and SAP BW simply and quickly into Palo OLAP.

The Palo SAP Connectivity is an additional component of Palo ETL, which offers additional types of connections and extractions to access SAP Systems directly. Palo can now be integrated optimally into SAP environments.

SAP data can be extracted at the table level or from views of the SAP Data Dictionary. Similarly a flexible access to SAP Remote Function Calls (RFC) and to SAP Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) is possible. The ETL process is fully modelled using a graphic web front-end, without the need for programming.

The extraction of data from SAP Business Warehouse (BW/BI) is put into practice easily: BW info objects can be loaded directly as dimension into Palo OLAP, including all the original attributes, texts and hierarchies. Transaction data is transferred with high performance from BW Data Store Objects (DSO). While accessing SAP R/3 and ERP Systems, hierarchies for cost centres and profit centres with a specific extraction type can be carried over directly.

SAP R/3 and ERP system users who do not require full BW functionality can now use the Palo Suite and Palo SAP Connectivity as an easy and very flexible alternative to a BI platform which can be installed quickly and is ideal for use by professionals. SAP BW system users might access consolidated data from the SAP BW Data Warehouse Layer for OLAP analyses.
The Palo SAP Connectivity is offered exclusively as part of the Palo Suite Premium. Palo SAP Connectivity replaces the Palo ETL SAP Connector, which only enabled access to SAP BW.
