Introduction to SAP BW BEx Query Connector

You can use SAP BW BEx Query Connector to read data from SAP BEx queries. SAP Connector uses the SAP APIs to integrate with the SAP BW system and read data from BEx queries.
You can use the SAP BW BEx Query connection in mappings and mapping tasks. Create a mapping task to process data based on the data flow logic defined in a mapping or integration template.
You can switch mappings to advanced mode to include transformations and functions that enable advanced functionality.
Note: Informatica recommends that you do not use SAP BW BEx Query Connector to extract large volumes of data. SAP BW BEx Query Connector was primarily designed to extract complex calculated fields from SAP where the logic cannot be replicated outside. You must consider extracting only the key fields and the calculated fields through the BEx query and merge with the rest of the dimensional data outside in a data warehouse.
