Generic Extractor with View Vs Function Module

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have to design generic data source for bringing data for almost 100 fields from standard and Ztables.

I would like to know going for the generic extractor with View is better or function module is better. It would be great if you provide the pros and cons in each approach.

Your help would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks,

Kumar

Hi!

i think if u have complex logic involved in selecting the records form multiple table use the function module.

and if its simple then use views, as there are very strait forward.

Hi Ashwin,

It would be strait forward.

what are the actual parameters we need to consider before we make the decision.

Hi!

I guess performance and security can be concerns. if u think you can better control the extraction performance and access to the data with function module use the function module.

I you want to keep it simple then use views.
