Hi Tarun,

 

Thank you for the information. I've read and watch the video and it mentioned the ability to connect to any backend. I've installed the product but I need to connect to ECC.

Question:

Are you able to connect the above mentioned solutions to SAP ECC 6?

regards,

Jeff Marcos

Hi Jeff,

The connectors to ECC are not yet available as content.

You would need to use an ETL mechanism to extract data from ECC, transform the data into events and push these events into Process Visibility. The ETL process is a regularly running job which supports a delta mechanism.

If you can expose the required data via an RFC/API you can use SAP Cloud Platform Integration for the ETL process (for an example you can see how we have extracted survey responses from a survey, transformed every survey response to an event and pushed the event into process visibility: https://api.sap.com/integrationflow/Push_Survey_Responses_to_SAP_Cloud_Platform_Process_Visibility).

If you want to directly work on the ECC tables then I would suggest using SAP Data Intelligence for the ETL process.
