Introduction to SAP Table Connector

You can integrate data with SAP at the data-level by using SAP Table Connector.
To read data from SAP tables and write data only to SAP custom tables that have been created under the customer namespace, you can use an SAP Table Connector connection.
You can read data from transparent tables, cluster tables, pool tables, views, and ABAP CDS views. The Secure Agent accesses data through the application layer in SAP using ABAP. Data is streamed to the Secure Agent through the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. SAP Table Connector supports joins and filters on the source tables.
You can also use SAP Table Connector to read data from an SAP ADSO object. To write data to an ADSO, use SAP ADSO Writer Connector.
To optimize performance when the Secure Agent and the SAP system are in different networks, you can enable data compression when you read data from SAP.
When you create asynchronization task, mapping, mapping task, or data transfer task, Data Integration generates a dynamic ABAP query to read from SAP tables and write to custom SAP tables. You can switch mappings to advanced mode to include transformations and functions that enable advanced functionality.
Note: When you want to write data to SAP standard tables, SAP recommends that you use OData, BAPI/RFC, or IDoc API to update data within the SAP application. For information about using an SAP Table Connector connection to write data to SAP custom tables, contact Informatica Global Customer Support.
