The SAP Export Wizard allows you to specify a profile that is used for generating a data file. The software saves the data in a .txt file in a location that you specify when you define the profile.
On some occasions, you may need to access data that was not included in the export. In this case, you can interface with Smart Instrumentation using SAP R/3 to view the required data via Intergraph Distributed Environment Application Layer (IDEAL) API. The main stages of this process are as follows:
-
Creation of an export file with formatting information and data definitions.
-
Retrieval of data in the SAP program.
-
Displaying the data using (IDEAL) API.
