Subscription
This article demonstrates by example how to install one of the Talend SAP Function module for SAP.

The Function modules which can be used in the Talend tools are:

  • Z_TALEND_READ_TABLE
  • Z_TALEND_READ_INFOPROV
  • Z_TALEND_UPSERT_ODSO
Environment & Prerequisites

This article is valid for all Talend products on subscription from v5.6 upwards.

Prior to start the installation procedure below, see the article: SAP function modules shipped with Talend Studio.

Procedure

The following procedure shows how to install the Z_TALEND_READ_TABLE module.

Step 1: Copy files
  1. Download the file EEIK900299.zip, transfer it on SAP server then follow up the below steps.
  2. Extract the file EEIK900299.zip.
  3. Copy K900299.EEI from <EEIK900299>/ABAP Transport/cofiles to usr/sap/trans/cofiles.
  4. Copy R900299.EEI from <EEIK900299>/ABAP Transport/data to /usr/sap/trans/data.

The file upload can be done with SAPGUI transaction CG3Z. You can find the transport directory and check if the files have been uploaded with transaction AL11.

NB: If /usr/sap/trans is the directory where the transports are stored otherwise use the right folder on your SAP server. This is the case on our SAP system.

Step 2: Adding new transport request

In transaction STMS go to Import Overview (F5) and step into the import queue for the given system. In the menu under Extras > Other requests > Add.

  1. Add a new transport request with name EEIK900299 and specify your SAP client number if needed. After this you must see the transport request in the list.
  2. Select it with F9 and perform the transport F11+Ctrl.
  3. Specify the target client and check the option Ignore invalid component version (last option in the options tab).

If correctly set, the status must be green although showing some text: Does not match component version. In transaction SE37 the function module Z_TALEND_READ_TABLE must be available.

Step 3: Permission

With the above step the permission should be ok, no action required here.

Step 4: Add the property in Talend Studio

Follow the usual process as detailed in Talend Studio User Guide: 40.5.2 Retrieving SAP tables

The property api.use_z_talend_read_table should set it to true when you drag and drop the tSAPTableInput from the repository.
