Notes on Extraction Using SAP
Query
Client Dependency
InfoSets are only available if you have created them globally, independent of a client. You set this global area in the initial screen of InfoSet maintenance under Environment → Work Areas.
Size Limits When Extracting Data Using SAP Query InfoSets
If you are using an InfoSet to extract data, the system first collects all data in the main memory. The data is transferred to the BI system in packages using the Service API interface. The size of the main memory is therefore important with this type of extraction. It is suitable for limited datasets only.
As of SAP Web Application Server 6.10, you can extract mass data using certain InfoSets (tables or table joins).
