Extract structure

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Can any body of you tell me what is an extract structure? If I'm not wrong The struture of a data source is called an extract structure? What is the main difference between a data source and extract structure.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Indudhar,

an extract structure is a data structure of all data you <b>can</b> extract from the source system via content extraction or generic extraction. A data source is smaller than a extract structure and include all data you want to send to BW. Therefore you can hide fields from the extract structure in the maintenance of a DataSource.

Hope this helps.
