Hi All,

I have a quick question, Can we use XI in pulling out data from R3 using SAP Standard extractors.Please tell me the Standard extractors come as a part of BI or they are a standard programs on R3 server.

I am not aware of standard Extractors...

if standard extractors are more over like BAPI/RFC i.e remote ly enabled function modules then its possible to pull out the data by XI from R/3...

from what i know standard extractors are used to populate data from r3/ecc to BW/BI

to push the data to PI, the option would be to use an abap proxy

Hi Shabarish,

Thank you for your answer. My question is can Standard extractors be able to push data to XI directly (without BI) .

Shabarish,

Thank you.

My client asked me this question and I just approached the Forum to have a confirmation that nobody does so.

guess you can take it as a confirmation. But suggest you also check in the BI forum for further support.

Hi Kalpana,

An standard extractor can be a function module or a Table or a View.

Although it is not directly possible for XI to call an extractor as such, it is still possible to call a Remotely -Enabled Function modules.

So, I would say, it is still possible to call certain types of Extractors(Especially Function modules, provided they are remotely-enabled).
