# SAP ERP

> Connect to SAP ERP systems via the Datazone CloudFeed SAP Connector.

# Overview

Datazone connects to SAP ERP via the **Datazone CloudFeed SAP Connector**, an HTTP adapter installed on your SAP system. It provides access to SAP tables, schemas, and function modules without requiring a direct database connection.

## Prerequisites

The **Datazone CloudFeed SAP Connector** must be installed on your SAP environment before creating this source. Contact your SAP administrator to confirm the connector is active.

## Connection Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description                                                                                 |
| --------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name      | Yes      | A unique identifier for your SAP ERP source                                                 |
| Base URL  | Yes      | Base URL of the SAP system with the CloudFeed connector (e.g. `https://your-sap-host:8080`) |
| Username  | Yes      | SAP technical user username                                                                 |
| Password  | Yes      | Password for the specified user (stored encrypted)                                          |

## Required Permissions

Assign the following roles to the SAP technical user:

| Role                 | Description                 |
| -------------------- | --------------------------- |
| `/CLF/BASE`          | CloudFeed Base Service Role |
| `/CLF/TABLE_ALL`     | All Table Access            |
| `/CLF/WRITEBACK_ALL` | All Writeback Access        |

## How It Works

Datazone communicates with SAP ERP via the Datazone CloudFeed SAP Connector over HTTP installed on the SAP system. No direct database port needs to be open — all data flows over HTTPS and SAP's own authorization model is enforced.

## Limitations

* Maximum payload size per request: 10 MB
* Supported versions: SAP ERP ECC 6.0 and above

## Next Steps

1. Create extracts to specify which tables to ingest
2. Configure scheduling for recurring extracts
3. Integrate the source into your data pipelines
