Use of Standard extractor with XI

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a quick question.

Can we use SAP Standard extractors to pull out data from R3 to XI (without BI)

When you ask, "Can we use SAP Standard extractors to pull out data from R3 to XI (without BI)," are you referring to SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI now called SAP Process Integration or SAP PI) or are you referring to SAP Business Objects Enterprise XI?

SAP PI (SAP XI) doesn't have the mechanisms necessary for execution of standard extractors. SAP Business Objects Entrprise XI, by itself, doesn't have this capability. You would need to have SAP Business Objects Data Services XI, which is a separate application and has separate licensing than SAP Business Objects Enterprise XI, in order to expose the standard content extractors in SAP applications. If I recall, that capability was introduced in SAP Business Objects Data Services XI 3.2, which went into general release in August 2009.

Hi Dennis,

Thank you for your reply. I am talking abotu SAP PI(SAP XI) in this context. I just need a confirmation whether SAP XI is capable of using the SAP Satndard Extraxtors to pull data from R3 without BI.

SAP PI doesn't have the inherent capability to emulate an InfoPackage, or other process, to execute the business content extractors.
