Getting Started​

Before creating a node, you must have at least one Source and one Destination already configured. These connections are essential, since every node relies on them to synchronize and transfer data effectively.

👉 Make sure both the Source and Destination. are properly set up before proceeding with node creation.

According to the source configure the node to extract the necessary

When SAP ABAP is used as the source, the node supports multiple data extraction methods, each with its own configuration options. This gives you flexibility to access both standard and custom-developed SAP data objects.

Table

Direct extraction from transparent tables or views.

Reports

Execution of custom ABAP reports (Z-reports) that return structured output.

BAPI

Data extraction via BAPIs, typically requiring input parameters and structure mapping.

Extractor

Use of SAP standard extractors (e.g., 2LIS_*) for data already prepared for reporting.

CDC

Incremental extraction of only the records changed since the last execution.

6. Select a destination​

Click on "Select a connection for a destination" and choose a destination created previously. chrome_sqwssiaaon

7. Configure the output data​

Once your node is connected and the source is properly configured, the next step is to define how the data will be exported to the destination.

Crestone supports two main export modes:

Table

Ideal for structured, query-ready data.

Stage

Suitable for raw or semi-structured data files, available in CSV or Parquet format.

Choose the export mode that best fits your target system and downstream processing requirements.

8. Set the limit​

Set the node limit and then click the "Create" button. chrome_tqeezuc4xt

And that's it! The node has been successfully created.
