Introduction
This document will discuss about how to trigger process chain depending on the transaction in ECC
(whenever any transaction happen in ECC, BI process chain automatically gets triggered and data will be
extracted in BI. It works like a real time enabled data source)
Real time Data Acquisition is one of the most important method to extract data from ECC to BI without any
delay. But this is method is supported only by a real time enabled data sources. There are many standard
Data source present in BI which are not real time enabled that can’t be extracted through Demon.
If there is any business requirement in which you need those data sources to be real time enabled, this
document will help.
