t3cp

t3cp version 2.1 is an excellent option for those needing to extract data from SAP systems to any ODBC database. Developed by CSBG.biz, this lightweight tool—just 46 KB—facilitates seamless data transfer tasks with minimal configuration. The executable, t3copy.exe, is designed for ease of use, making it accessible even for users without programming skills.

Belonging to the Development Tools category and specifically listed under Database Tools, t3cp functions like a simple ETL tool. Users can create an intricate data extraction routine interactively, selecting their SAP system and source tables or queries and then designating a destination table with an ODBC driver. Users can also define field mappings and SQL instructions, making it flexible for different requirements.

One of the standout features of t3cp is its ability to handle both individual tables and complex joins. This includes the addition of filter criteria and the selection of specific fields to transmit to the database target table. The automatic data transfer from SAP systems (such as ERP/ECC) is executed with just a few mouse clicks, without the need for any custom programming or customization in the SAP system.

Other versions of the program remain consistently named, with 2.1 being the latest. The small file size of the program means it won't take up much space on your system, and it can be easily scheduled to run data extraction jobs through the Task Scheduler or by calling t3cp with parameters from a script.
