This course was built using the Pack For SAP V6.5 which works with Information Server/DataStage V8.1 and V8.5 and addresses SAP ECC version 6.0. However, most concepts discussed extend beyond this particular version and are designed to give you core, version-agnostic, reference, and tutorial knowledge).
In a simulation, this FlexLearning course lets you 'drive' the UIs in which you will set up a connection between Information Server and SAP and then perform various loads and extracts using Intermediate Documents (IDocs), Business APIs (BAPIs), and ABAP (All within your IE 5+ browser)
The course begins by briefly discussing some of the concepts of integrating Information Server and SAP R/3. It talks about the environment in which these products 'live' and the benefits of connecting them. A number of use-cases are briefly reviewed. The course then discussed the DataStage PACKs in general and then the Pack For SAP in particular. It touches on BW but focuses on R/3. Performance is discussed as well.
Then, you will go into a Guided Tour Product Simulation. Here, you will see and use many of the features while you do the following:
Setting up the system using the Administrator for SAP (A DataStage client) to connect to SAP's Enterprise Central Component (ECC)
- Perform an extraction using ABAP
- Perform an extract using IDoc
- Perform a load using IDoc
- Perform an extraction using BAPI
- Perform a load using BAPI
Note: This is a self-paced online course in which the Guided Tour Product Simulation requires no installations: Everything is through your IE 5.0+ browser. The browser-based product simulation lets you 'learn-by-doing' in a case-study scenario in which you solve a 'real-life' business problem using InfoSphere products.
