external data - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  External data is data that is stored outside of the SAP system. This data can be accessed and used within the SAP system, but it is not stored in the SAP database. Examples of external data include customer information from a CRM system, financial data from an ERP system, or product information from a web-based system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  External data can be used in the SAP system by connecting to the external source and importing the data into the SAP system. This can be done using the BC-DWB ABAP Workbench, Java IDE, and Infrastructure components. The ABAP Workbench allows for the creation of programs that can access external data sources and import the data into the SAP system. The Java IDE allows for the development of applications that can access external data sources and import the data into the SAP system. The Infrastructure component provides a secure connection between the external source and the SAP system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When importing external data into the SAP system, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary security measures are in place to protect both the external source and the SAP system. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary permissions are in place to allow for access to the external source.
