Defining Custom Extractor

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

Can someone guide me with best practices for creating Generic Datasource with Custom extractors(FM)?

Is there any document available for the steps involved in setting up the custom function module(extractor) for GE(Generic datasource)?

Thank you

Hi Elena Ganchenko,

I know this FM RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE already.

Basically i am looking for a document which explains the step involved in setting up the custom extractos with Function module and linking it with the datasource? How the actual connection between the Datasource and FM(Extractor) is made?

Thanks in advance

Hi Arun,

Unfortunately I don't have detail description of parameters and structures used in this template.

To create

1. Generic Datasourse you should go to transaction RSO2(SBIW>Generic Datasources>Maintain Generic Datasources) 2. enter the name and click create

3. then system asks you to enter all the necessary information

Appl component, texts and extraction method with parameters.

To use FM as extractor click on "Extraction by FM" and enter FM and extract structure in the corresponding fields.

Good Luck!

Lena
