Connection Types

The methods for extraction considered in this section rely upon two connection types:

Open Database Protocol (ODBC) – The most common and universally used connection type and an industry standard. ODBC can connect to any database management system for which an ODBC driver is installed or available.
Remote Function Call (RFC) – The protocol used to call functions within SAP and the standard interface for communication between SAP Systems.
