SAP Integration with Microsoft Fabric
Microsoft Fabric is an end-to-end analytics and data platform that provides businesses with a unified solution for data movement, processing, ingestion, transformation, real-time event routing, and reporting. An integral part of Microsoft Fabric is OneLake, the central, logical data store that serves as a unified data lake solution for the entire organization.
Whether for historical data queries, real-time analytics, or centralized storage of large datasets, Xtract Universal acts as a powerful SAP connector, enabling the reliable and secure replication of data from SAP ERP, SAP BW, BW/4HANA, and S/4HANA environments into OneLake.

Integrating SAP data into modern cloud environments like Microsoft Fabric presents significant challenges for businesses. Critical SAP data from areas such as finance, logistics, or sales needs to be processed in (near) real-time and at high volumes, which requires powerful and flexible solutions.
SAP note 3255746 and the associated limitation on the use of ODP Data Replication APIs for ABAP sources add further technical challenges. Established workflows are disrupted, and companies face a choice: redesign entire data load processes with significant customization effort or rely on a powerful alternative.

Flexibility and Efficiency in SAP Data Integration with Microsoft Fabric
Thanks to versatile components such as Table, Table CDC, DeltaQ, and support for the OData API, Xtract Universal provides solutions for both incremental and full data loads. Change
Data Capture (CDC) and access to SAP DataSources minimize resource usage. Additionally, we are expanding our solution with a new ODP component that supports both RFC modules and the OData API to ensure long-term flexibility and future-proofing for our customers. These features—ranging from Change Data Capture (CDC) to the ODP extension and support for Microsoft Fabric Open Mirroring—ensure efficient processing of SAP data, allowing large datasets to be optimally prepared for analysis without performance loss or complex workarounds.

Rely on a central data foundation with Microsoft Fabric – for data-driven strategies that impress.
With Xtract Universal, SAP data integration into Microsoft Fabric is a breeze
Our customer LANXESS has aligned its digitalization strategy with Microsoft Azure and required an efficient solution for transferring data from SAP ERP and BW systems. With Xtract Universal, a powerful interface was implemented, enabling automated bulk data extraction. Over 500 employees benefit from fast, incremental data transfers, which are crucial for timely, data-driven decisions.
When we build an extraction once, it runs automatically as many times as needed. Since many of our projects require SAP data multiple times a day, this brings a huge time advantage. Furthermore, Xtract Universal allows bulk data to be extracted extremely quickly and incrementally. This is crucial, for example, for retrieving the SAP table BSEG (accounting documents) to provide consuming applications with up-to-date data.
Optimized Data Analysis with SAP and Microsoft Fabric
Replicating SAP data into OneLake offers a range of benefits specifically designed to help departments and teams manage, analyze, and gain deeper insights from their data more efficiently while reducing costs and ensuring data security.
Some of these benefits include:
How Xtract Universal Works with Microsoft Fabric
- SAP Data Extraction
Supports data from tables, BW InfoCubes, BEx Queries, and DataSources, which can be seamlessly integrated into the structure of Microsoft Fabric. - Data Integration into OneLake
SAP data is directly transferred into OneLake – the central data platform within Microsoft Fabric – providing a unified foundation for analytics and reporting. - Incremental Data Updates
With Change Data Capture (CDC) and DeltaQ, data can be efficiently and resource-conservingly updated without the need for full reloads. - Optimized Data Merging with Fabric Mirroring
Fabric Mirroring enables the automatic merging of incremental SAP data with existing datasets in Microsoft Fabric. Xtract Universal ensures that the SAP data is available in the optimal format to support this process seamlessly. - Compatibility with Microsoft Services
Seamless integration with Microsoft services such as Azure Synapse Analytics and Power BI to enable end-to-end analytics.
