Pull SAP Data Into Databricks

Getting SAP data into Databricks has traditionally been a headache. Teams write custom extracts, stage files, and wait for a pipeline to finish before the data science work can even start.

There is a faster way. With the DVW Flow Tool you call SAP directly from a Databricks notebook and land your data into a table in minutes. This short demo shows how it works, from an empty flow to a clean table ready for forecasting and trend analysis.

Build the Flow With Drag and Drop

You start by clicking the Create Flow button. From there, simple drag and drop tools let you pull data from any type of SAP object. There is no script to write and nothing to hand off to a developer. You lay out the flow visually, connect the pieces, and you are ready to pull data.

Pull Sales History Straight From an SAP ECC Transaction Code

In the demo we pull sales history for forecasting and trend analysis. Rather than build the extract from scratch, you can call an existing SAP ECC transaction code that already returns the data you need. There is no need to reinvent the wheel.

The flow runs using your existing SAP authorizations, so nothing changes from a security or governance perspective. You see exactly the data you are already entitled to see in SAP, delivered straight into your Databricks notebook.

Header Rows Detected Automatically

Before the data lands, the preview shows you what it will look like. Built-in intelligence identifies the header rows for you, so you do not spend hours cleaning and reshaping the output before it is usable. The data arrives in a structured table, ready for the next step.

Why This Matters

The value here is speed and simplicity. Analysts and data scientists get SAP data into Databricks without waiting on a separate extraction process, and without learning the underlying SAP objects. The flow reads from the source, applies the same logic every time, and delivers a clean table in minutes.

And because the Flow Tool reads and writes SAP data, the same approach that lands data in Databricks can also push results back into SAP when you need to close the loop.
