Amazon Redshift is a fully managed data warehouse service designed for large-scale data analytics. It enables complex queries from structured data and offers high processing speed through its columnar storage and Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) architecture. To leverage the powerful analytics capabilities for SAP data, efficient data transformation and management of SAP-specific data types are required.

Xtract Universal provides a comprehensive solution for the efficient and secure integration of SAP data into the Amazon Cloud environment. The Xtract components ensure the correct mapping of SAP ABAP data types to the corresponding Amazon Redshift data formats before the data is loaded into the target environment. This enables smooth SAP data integration without manual intervention in the data structure.

Xtract Universal offers several options for managing table structures in the Amazon Redshift database, including Drop & Create, None, and Create If Not Exists. These options provide flexible adaptation to various scenarios, such as initial population, regular data updates, or incremental loading processes. These functions complement Xtract Universal’s loading options – including incremental loading via Table CDC – by ensuring that the tables in the target database are correctly prepared and ready for use.

Xtract Universal ensures optimized storage and analysis of SAP data on Amazon's powerful cloud infrastructure. The interface also enables exceptionally fast and accurate processing of large volumes of SAP data for demanding analytics. Additionally, by integrating SAP data into Amazon Redshift, Xtract Universal supports central data warehousing for both SAP and non-SAP data.
