title: How to extract data from a SAP ABAP system?
body: <p>I need to extract data from a SAP ABAP system in a format that can then be loaded into an Oracle database (xlsx,csv,dmp.. etc)</p>
  
  <p>Once the data is extracted I'll use Pentaho to upload it into the Oracle database.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to extract the data from SAP? I will also need to automate it (the extraction) but that is not too much of a problem right now, I can figure/worry about that part later. </p>
  
  <p>If it is not possible to do so, an explanation why would be helpful!</p>
