Note

This release of the SAP Extractor NG has been modified and no longer uses a private SAP namespace (/INVY/). Instead, the extractor now uses a public SAP namespace (Z). As a result of this change, the installation and usage instructions have been updated. Please ensure you read them before using this release. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/DOCCOM/CAST+SAP+Extractor+NG+-+Installation+and+Uninstall+-+8.4.x and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/DOCCOM/CAST+SAP+Extractor+NG+-+User+Guide+-+8.4.x.

This release can co-exist on the same SAP instance as previous releases of the CAST SAP Extractor NG, however CAST highly recommends uninstalling the extractor after you have completed the extraction process. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/DOCCOM/CAST+SAP+Extractor+NG+-+Installation+and+Uninstall+-+8.4.x.

The documentation is no longer provided in the extractor ZIP file and is instead available online: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/DOCCOM/CAST+SAP+Extractor+NG+-+Documentation+-+8.4.x. If you require a PDF version of the documentation please contact CAST.
