Hello,

You're on the right track exploring Xtract tools—many small and mid-sized businesses working with SAP and reporting tools like Alteryx often look into these kinds of connectors to streamline data extraction.

Here's a breakdown based on what users have commonly shared and some insights that might be helpful for your team.

Xtract tools (like Xtract Universal by Theobald Software) are middleware tools designed to extract data from SAP systems and push it into analytics or integration platforms. They support SAP ECC, S/4HANA, and work well with BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, Alteryx, and databases.

Best Regards

Thank you for your respond, but we small team dealing with alteryx with a huge data in large company. I want to make sure there's no issues if someone experienced that with large data. I believe looking to seek more information before starting the tool to be aware in which defects that may cause.

Hi Abdulhadi91,

You're absolutely right to be cautious when handling large volumes of data. Our Xtract for Alteryx (XfA) is a solid and reliable tool for extracting SAP data, even in enterprise environments with high data volumes.

A few key points that might help:

• Performance depends heavily on how the underlying SAP queries (like RFCs or CDS Views) are built. Efficient setup on the SAP side can significantly boost extraction speed.

• XfA supports ODP, CDS Views, and delta logic, making it suitable for large, structured datasets.

• We haven’t encountered volume-related issues so far, but we always recommend testing in a QA or staging environment first.

• The setup is lightweight and straightforward - and once configured, it integrates seamlessly into your Alteryx workflows.

We offer 30-day free trial licenses, a comprehensive Help Center, and excellent customer support to assist with setup and anything product-related. We're also happy to support you with a POC or a live demo tailored to your use case. 

Let me know if you'd be interested in that - happy to help!
