Key Features

  • Real-Time Data Acquisition: Source systems can push data sets of any batch size, or even single events to BI.
  • Data Bundling and Request Activation: The BI system bundles these datasets in so-called requests. A request is closed either when the customizable limits for time or size in the corresponding infopackage are exceeded, or if an RDA daemon actively closes the request.
  • Data Format Compatibility: Webservice data sources accept data in a tabular format.
  • Data Type Support: Most of the SAP data types are supported by the connector.
  • Schema Mapping: The metadata for these fields being extracted is provided by the SAP system and the connector uses this information to map the Kafka Connect schema to the webservice data source structure.
Note
