I need some information about DB links (TCODE - DBCO).

What is the purpose of DB link?

How do We Transport a DB link when we need to refresh a system/server?

To provide access to external, non-SAP databases, SAP has developed the DB Link

tool, which allows access to data stored in an external database through the BW Service

API. The basic idea behind the DB Link tool is to connect to a remote database, to make

the required remote table or view visible to the SAP ABAPWorkbench dictionary, and

to define a generic extractor for the remote table or view. The DB Link tool is supported

for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM DB/2 databases.
