Hi,

We can extract SAP data by using informatica with the powerConnect option.
We need to install and configure the powerConnect tool . Import the Source in to the Source Analyzer. Here PowerConnect is the gateway between SAP & Informatica.Then develop the mapping in the mapping designer. Next we need to generate the ABAP code for that mapping,then only the Informatice can be pull the data from SAP.

-regards,

You cannot use Informatica to extract data from SAP via ABAP.  Only the SAP/Business Objects Data Integrator product can do this.

Informatica uses a data dictionary interface, with clear SQL instructions, example...

select BUKRS, BELNR, GJAHR, BUZEI from BSEG;

...to get at SAP transactional data. 

The problem is that the above query will not produce an extract because BSEG is a 'clustered' table in SAP, and clear SQL cannot extract from clustered table types... only ABAP can do that.

Data Integrator dynamically generates ABAP, which means that you can extract from any table type in SAP.
