Liberate Your ERP Data: Remove Boundaries with REP and SQL Modules

Data Integration

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are the heart of businesses. However, this heart sometimes struggles to pump data outward. Especially providing data flow from massive systems like SAP to external SQL-based analytical platforms or web applications has always been a bottleneck for IT departments.

The REP (Reporting) and SQL (Data Transfer) modules in the iDataEngine V4.1 architecture are designed exactly to solve this "data prison" problem.

REP Module: Understanding Data

In traditional methods, ABAP or special consulting developments are required to get a report from ERP. Our REP module abstracts this layer.

  • iView Architecture: We transform complex data models (JOINs, VIEWs) into user-friendly "iView" structures.
  • Zero-Code Access: Users can access the data sets they want with just configuration, without writing complex SQL or ERP code.
  • Performance: Extracts data with optimized queries without burdening the ERP system.

SQL Module: Moving Data

Viewing data with REP is great, but what if you want to use this data in your own Web Application or BI (Business Intelligence) tool? This is where the SQL Module comes into play.

The SQL module takes the data packages prepared by the REP module and beams them to the target database (PostgreSQL, MSSQL, etc.).

Why Is This Duo So Powerful?

  1. Independence: Even if your ERP system is under maintenance, your business processes (your website, B2B portal) continue to work on the data you transferred via the SQL module.
  2. License Costs: Not every user needs an ERP license. By moving data to SQL, you enable thousands of users to access data at lower costs.
  3. Hybrid Structure: While taking an "instant" snapshot of data with the REP module, you can create an "album" (historical data warehouse) from these snapshots with the SQL module.

Real-Life Scenario

Imagine you have an e-commerce company.

  1. The REP Module queries stock and price information from ERP in real-time.
  2. The SQL Module writes this stock information to your website's database every 10 minutes with UPSERT (Update or Insert) logic.
  3. Result: Your website works in sync with ERP, but even if ERP slows down, your site doesn't compromise on speed.

Data freedom means business agility.
