Selecting the Extraction Type

This screen gives you four options to enable you to select what type of extraction to perform:

  • Extract Using IRC Programs: This type of extraction uses the Dynamic Extraction Engine (DEE) to extract data. This type of extraction is used for all Insights.
  • Extract Without IRC Programs (or Extract with ERP programs): This type of extraction uses RFC calls. Use this extraction type for Authorizations Insight for SAP R/3, SAP SRM, SAP CRM, SAP SCM and SAP BW/BI.
  • Get Object Count: Select this option to generate an object count report as the next step in the wizard. Unless this option is selected, extraction will not begin when you click Next . This feature is supported for Authorizations Insights and Process Insights for SAP only.
