Answer 1

Hi,
BW Extraction
we have two types of extractions 1) Application specific 2)cross application
under applicatin specific -->we have customer genenrated and business content extractions
under customer generated means LIS, CO-PA, FI-SL(i.e no ready made data source in business content so we have to generate datasource)
Business content means there is ready made business content datasource so we can use it
LIS,LO --> when ever we go for extracting logistics informatin
CO-PA--> for financial info
LO extraction works based on Update Tables where as FI extraction works based on Timestamp table.
For updating the extraction of transactional data from the different logistics applications (MM, PP, SD and so on), the technology for collective updates (‘V3 updates’) is used (until PI 2003.1). This means that the data is collected in the R/3 update tables before the transfer to the interface: the data is retrieved there by means of a periodic update process that needs to be started in order to transfer delta records to the the BW system delta queue.During this V3 collective run (that you can start and schedule from LBWE for each application component), the data is transferred to the BW delta queue (that you can see from RSA7or LBWQ transactions, from which they are retrieved by means of (delta) requests from the BW system.
