Simplify data extraction

With Direct Link, table and field descriptions are displayed in the language selected when logging on to the SAP system. Select all the data you need and extract it when you need it. Direct Link formats SAP data for use within AX Core. The data does not require any additional data conversion or formatting before you can analyse it.

Maintain data integrity and security

Access to SAP tables is determined by your SAP authorisations. As a result, data integrity is never compromised and SAP security is respected. Since Direct Link uses SAP security to determine access rights, security setup and maintenance activities are minimised. Since Direct Link creates read-only queries to extract SAP data, the source data is neither modified nor deleted. This ensures that production data cannot be altered and that data integrity is always maintained.

Automate data extraction

You can accelerate routine data analysis procedures by incorporating Direct Link SAP ERP data retrieval directly into ACL scripts. By packaging data queries and analysis into a single script, you'll save time and increase productivity. Direct Link queries and ACL scripts are portable between SAP systems so you are able to re-use your work from one location to the next.

Multi-table queries

Joining up to seven tables prior to extraction is easy with Direct Link. You can bring together a variety of tables into a single view for increased visibility into your business transactions. You can also select individual fields and apply filters to obtain only the data you need.

Focused queries save time

You can fine tune the focus of your queries by selecting only the fields you need, which will minimise network traffic and reduce retrieval time. Filters further streamline queries so you can extract only the records of interest.

Advanced table searches

Quickly locate specific tables and fields by using powerful browsing and search tools. Direct Link allows you to search by table name or description, field name or description, or by drilling down by application area.

Flexible query extraction

Direct Link offers the ability to execute queries on your SAP ERP system to extract the results. You can extract online or offline, depending on the file size. To minimise the impact to SAP system performance during high demand periods, you can schedule extracts during non-peak processing hours.
