Data extraction

The procedure for extracting data from an SAP/MM system is as follows.

  1. In the file ppm4mm_en_SAPSystem.xml, set the access data for the R/3 system from which you want to extract data. For more information about these settings, refer to the technical reference document PPM Process Extractors in the chapter on R/3 System Configuration.
  2. Use CTK to set start and end date of the extraction period whose data you want to extract in the parameter PPM_CONF_MYSAP_PARAMS.
  3. Start a DOS command prompt, switch to the directory <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\data_ppm\custom\ppm4mm_en\bat, and execute the file sapexport_all.bat.

Under <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\data_ppm\custom\ppm4mm_en\data you will then find the ZIP files with the extracted data in PPM system event format.
