Hello ABAP developers,
We have a need to pull out some data (very few records - in 100s) from SAP to an external system.
Can we create ABAP CDS views which can then be accessible from an external system? The external application can pull the data on-demand. Is there a better/standard approach to exporting data from SAP to external system?
We thought of the following
1. Extract data by writing an ABAP program and pushing all of this data onto a specific directory on server where SAP is installed periodically e.g. every night --- this is not preferred due to data not being latest.
2. RFC
However we are also wondering if ABAP CDS views can be written such that external application can access the views and these views will contain latest data. Please point me to some links if there are already articles on this. We do not have any BI/BW system landscape so we currently do not have any ETL/etc.
Best Regards,
Ashwini Pingle
