Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the extraction of data from application systems for use in Process Performance Manager. The Content Package contains configuration files for PPM Process Extractor SAP-2-PPM to extract the necessary sales process data from SAP systems. The files are saved as XML files in PPM system event format. The SAP-2-PPM process extractor is described in detail in the PPM Process Extractors manual.

Using the fragment and mapping definitions from the Content Package, the extracted data can be imported into Process Performance Manager with no changes via the PPM XML import interface and then processed. The XML import interface is described in detail in the PPM Data import manual.
