Scenario

I want to take some information from a CSV and combine it with information from SAP, then write it to another file.

Requirements

Snaps Used

For this scenario, the following Snaps are used:

• File Reader
• CSV Parser
• SAP Execute
• Filter
• Join
• Structure
• CSV Format
• File Writer

Other Requirements

• Credentials to read data from SAP and an account configured in SnapLogic Manager. See Accounts for more information on configuring an account.
• A CSV file loaded into the SnapLogic database. You can use this Hive Output file as a sample.

1. Add and configure a File Reader Snap.
   • Set the Folder/File to point to the file uploaded to the SnapLogic database.
2. Add a CSV Parser Snap with the default configuration.
3. Add and configure a SAP Execute Snap.
   • You will need to enter the SAP values for Username, Password, Language, Client, Server and System number.
   • Set bapi to the BAPI ABAP Name you want to use.
4. Add and configure a Filter Snap to limit the data to process.
   • Set the Filter expression to a valid expression, such as $NODE_LEVEL==2.

   • Leave Sorted streams as Unsorted.
6. Add and configure a Structure Snap to map the data to new column headings.

   • Set Pass through to [None] - new map.

   • Set up the following mapping table :

     Source path	Operation	Target Path
     $Product_Name	move	$Product_Name
     $Keywords	move	$Recommended_Keywords
     $Unique_visitors	move	$Unique_visitors
     $Total_visits	move	$Total_visits
