The following example shows the various methods of transferring data from both SAP and non-SAP sources into EC-EIS and EC-BP. The large rectangle represents the R/3 System in which EC-EIS or EC-BP runs. Within this system, data can be transferred to the aspects via standard interfaces or individual programs. Data from other R/3 or R/2 Systems can be transferred using ABAP Queries or CPI-C. The ABAP Query can be carried out in either the source or target system. Data from non-SAP source systems can be imported into EC-EIS or EC-BP using CPI-C, or from a file.
