Extract data from SAP using SAP NCO 3.0?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Now that the new SAP NCO 3.0 connector is out and can be installed on 64bit servers we were wondering if it could be used to perform data extractions from SAP.

So does anyone have any experience of hooking up SAP NCO 3.0 to a SAP system (backend SQL server database) to perform data extraction into a Microsoft Reporting Services environment?

Looking at SAP NCO 3.0 itself it is just 3 DLL files but can't see any installation instructions to then hook this into SSRS as a .Net provider which we could plug into SAP system.

Would be grateful if anyone could share any experience they may have here, thanks.

Hi

SAP NCO 3.0 is SAP Connector for DotNet framework 3.0 or higher. Yes .. you are right, there are only 3 dll files for the same.

It has both 32 and 64 bit version, you can install as per your requirement.

You can download data from SAP with Visual Studio 2008 onwards by including them in your project.
