SAP Dataset

After you have successfully created an SAP link (see: SAP Dataset Plugin for details), you can add an SAP dataset. In FineReport, there are three ways to add an SAP dataset, as shown in the figure below.

No	Content	Introduction	Documentation Tutorial
1	Customised Fetch	It is a direct call to ABAP Function to get the data	Customised Fetch
2	General Fetch	An open SQL statement that reads columns from a table and lists some conditions that the data needs to meet	General Fetch
3	General Enquiry Fetch	Generic queries add the ability to correlate between tables and support multi-table queries compared to simple generic queries	General Enquiry Fetch
4	Functions in generic query fetch	A detailed explanation of the EXTRACT_TABLE_DATA creation process and problem solving	Functions in generic query fetching

Note: For large data fetches using SAP, if the fetching time is too long, the final fetching failure (usually 10 minutes) is due to SAP's own limitation on the fetching time, when the fetching time is too long, the transaction will be automatically aborted.
