What is Extractor (DataSource)?
An SAP source-system object that delivers data to BW or other targets, supporting full and delta loads.
Business content extractors such as 0FI_GL_14 exist for many modules; S/4HANA increasingly uses CDS-based extraction through ODP. Some classic extractors are not supported in S/4HANA. Delta queues must be emptied before conversion downtime.
