Assessing SAP tables directly from BODS

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have ARC table in SAP with four columns and 50k rows. I want to access this table directly from BODS without using ABAP Data flow, since i am not sure about the access rights.Is it a good way of doing it ? or is there any other alternative solution.

Regards,

You've asked this question before (https://answers.sap.com/questions/222633/index.html). And you've got an answer. Why are you asking again?

Better use the ABAP dataflow as accessing directly would cause performance issue. Contact your basis and security team and they would help with the SAP Server credentials and Security issues respectively

Not true. See my answer when he first asked this question, referring to my blog Extracting data from SAP ECC.

Hi Dirk,

Regular Data flow is good to use when the tables have less data. I have seen timeout errors while using regular data flows. For accessing Huge tables, ABAP data flow would be the best option.

He's got 50K records only. That's not what I call a huge table.

And the timeout issue is clearly explained in my blog, isn't it?
