Hi,
I am a relatively new BODS developer, and currently I am trying to set up an RFC connection with a SAP data source. After a considerable amount of pain, we finally managed to set it up, but since the data we pull is approx. 120 million records, we figured we cannot use normal data flows. We switched to ABAP data flows, but it is not working for the 'Shared Directory' method. After quite a lot of googling and various posts on this community, we finally understood quite a bit of it. The issue here being our SAP source server is on a UNIX OS where as our BODS 4.0 is running on Windows OS. Installing Samba is not an option as it is against the policies. Can someone help us out please?
And if we need to switch to Custom transfer because of no other way to do it, could you tell us the steps that need to be followed to set up an sftp connection?
Thanks,
Ashok
