Facts and Features
Comprehensive Discovery Features to Allow Exploration of SAP Metadata
Safyr reveals details of all the tables in the SAP database, including any added by the SAP user (normally ‘Z’ tables).
All the information displayed are drawn from the SAP Data Dictionary, in the language the user chooses. It’s easy to search the tables and to see the numbers of relationships to other tables in the SAP system, and the number of Rows in each table.
Create Business Artefacts Representing the Data Structures you Need
Each table can be expanded to show all the Fields, the Primary Key and Foreign Keys and a detailed description of each Field, all based upon the definitions in the SAP Data Dictionary.

See Parent and Child Tables for a SAP Table
Safyr extracts Relationship information to help the user understand how SAP joins tables. Using this information, details of the related tables for a given table can be displayed. In addition, it’s easy to filter out any of the related tables that do not contain data.
See SAP Data in the Context of Where it’s Used
Safyr doesn’t just show details of Tables and Relationships. It also harvests metadata on SAP Components, Development Classes, Programs, Functions and Transactions. These are revealed in a searchable tree structure, making it easy to find, for example, which Tables are referenced or updated by a given Program.
Visualize SAP Tables as Data Model
Tables can be grouped into Subject Areas with Safyr and then visualised as an Entity Relationship diagram, either using Safyr’s built-in ERDiagrammer, or a range of popular data modelling tools including ERwin, ER/Studio and PowerDesigner.
An accurate and relevant SAP data model will often be an important step in understanding SAP data.

GDPR Starter Pack for SAP
We also provide an additional set of Subject Areas that focus on the Personal Data fields in an SAP system. This ‘Starter Pack’ for SAP GDPR is provided via Subject Areas that identify Personal Data fields like Gender, Addresses, Social Security details, Biometric data, etc. that will occur in a SAP ECC or S4/HANA system. The Starter Pack Subject Areas can be easily imported into a customer’s own Safyr Repository to short-cut the tedious job of identifying the Personal Data fields that will need to be considered for their GDPR project, learn more.
