Former Member

Hi,

We are on BODS v4.0 SP3. While trying to connect to SAP BW as source, I could see that there are 4 options in the Data Transfer method namely

  • Shared Directory
  • Direct Download
  • FTP
  • Custom Transfer

I would connect to 1 DSO created in SAP BW. Which option should be the best when we are migration large chunks of data (in millions)?

Upgrade to a more recent version so that you can use RFC transfer method.

Hello,

Since you are trying to get large amount of data, I would suggest 'Shared directory' if both BODS & BW are on same platform, else go ahead with 'Custom transfer' method which is nothing but an SFTP method. This can be achieved through ABAP dataflows.
