Definition
The access method selected or used here is used to load the data.
Definition
Type of access to the data in a DataSource: Adapter or data format parser.
Use
- Adapter: This handles the actual data access. There are two different types of adapter:
- Generic adapter: This loads data into a table of strings (character strings of any length) without converting it. The data needs to be converted before it can be saved in BW.
- Generating adapter: This loads data straight into the application structure, that is, the structure in which data is stored in the PSA.
- Data format parser: This handles the conversion of data from the original format into a structure in which it can be stored in BW.
Dependencies
- No additional conversion is required with generating adapters. Therefore the conversion tab page is not always displayed, depending on the adapter you have chosen.
- Some adapters do not support access to multi-segment data. These adapters are not available with multi-segment DataSources.
Example
Data format (parser): CSV and ASCII
After extraction, CSV files and ASCII files are in the format of a string. However, an additional conversion is required for CSV files. Both types of file can use the same generic adapter to load data.
