  Overview:
  The SAP transaction code FTWM is used to rebuild data extractors. Data extractors are used to extract data from the SAP system and store it in a database. This transaction code is used to rebuild the data extractors when they become corrupted or outdated. 
  
  Functionality: 
  The FTWM transaction code allows users to rebuild data extractors in the SAP system. This is done by deleting the existing data extractor and then creating a new one with the same settings. This ensures that the data extractor is up-to-date and functioning properly. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  1. Enter the transaction code FTWM into the command field. 
  2. Select the data extractor that you want to rebuild. 
  3. Click on “Rebuild” to delete the existing data extractor and create a new one with the same settings. 
  4. Click “Save” to save your changes. 
  
  Other Recommendations: 
  It is important to note that rebuilding a data extractor can take some time, so it is best to plan ahead and schedule this task when it will not interfere with other processes or activities in the system. Additionally, it is recommended that users back up their data before rebuilding a data extractor, as this process can cause some data loss if not done properly.
