Documentation
Definition
The extraction structure (ABAP Dictionary structure) of a DataSource contains the technical properties of the DataSource fields, such as the data type and length or position of the field in the DataSource. These properties are made available in the service API and BI by means of the reference of the DataSource to the extraction structure.
Properties not included in the DDIC information are stored directly in the DataSource. An example of this is whether a field can be selected in BI.
The extraction structure has to be created in the ABAP Dictionary as a dictionary structure or transparent table.
A view prevents an append from being added.
Appends enable you to convert your individual requirements and own business logic in the extraction process. You can fill the append fields using function enhancements.
