The figure below illustrates the functionality of PPM Process Extractor SAP-2-PPM:

s_sap_4_abb_dat_extr_xml_ausgabe

The Java Connector driver (JCo) is used to create a connection to the SAP R/3 system with the access data for the R/3 system configuration. Data is then extracted from the tables in the R/3 system with the R/3 table configuration and an optional attribute transformation using the data extraction module and is written to XML files in a PPM-compatible output format.

You need to ensure that the specified source system user has appropriate access authorization to extract the relevant data fields and that the requirements for the R/3 source system are met. If you have any doubts or concerns, please contact your SAP administrator.
