Preview
Applies to: SQL Server SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory
Use the Preview dialog box to preview the data that the SAP BW source will extract.
Important
The Preview option, that is available on the Connection Manager page of the SAP BW Source Editor, actually extracts data. If you have configured SAP Netweaver BW to extract only data that has changed since the previous extraction, selecting Preview will exclude the previewed data from the next extraction.
To learn more about the SAP BW source component of the Microsoft Connector 1.1 for SAP BW, see SAP BW Source.
Important
The documentation for the Microsoft Connector 1.1 for SAP BW assumes familiarity with the SAP Netweaver BW environment. For more information about SAP Netweaver BW, or for information about how to configure SAP Netweaver BW objects and processes, see your SAP documentation.
Important
Extracting data from SAP Netweaver BW requires additional SAP licensing. Check with SAP to verify these requirements.
