Data Transfer

Data Transfer operator helps transfer data from an SAP BW system to an SAP Vora system or other major cloud storages such as S3, ADL, GCS, WASB, or HDFS.

This operator enables you to select the source data from an SAP BW system and the target storage to which you wan to transfer the data. It has one input port (input) and two output ports (output and error). Use this operator in a graph that uses only other data workflow operators.

Connect the input port to another data workflow operator to trigger its start. On the error output port, the engine writes a message in case of errors when trying to execute the data transfer. On success, the engine writes a message on the output port. If you want the execution of the graph to proceed, connect the respective output ports to other data workflow operators.
