The data to be consolidated can be loaded from SAP and non-SAP-systems using ETL tools (extract, transform, load)
.
Solutions offered by SAP are the following:
SLT System Landscape Transformation
Note
Recommended for existing SAP business suite models, as identical data models are used.
SAP HANA Studio
Data provisioning including data transformation
CSV File (comma-separated values), for data down- and upload
Note
SAP recommends to import the data in the SAP HANA Studio into an interim table. In a second step the content of the interim tables can be loaded to the source tables using SQL or a custom ABAP report.
The data has to be transformed into the SAP data structure before the data load can be performed.
