Welcome aboard.

In the menu at the top of the screen is a Search facility; we encourage people to search first for their answers, because they are usually here.

There is a PACK (packaged application connectivity kit) available from the vendor for connecting to SAP BW. This provides stage types that allow you to work with ABAP or IDoc format.

Enjoy your search.

Me too. The acronym seems to be more like GNU .... GNU's NOT UNIX.

Further, PACK is an ITLA (incremented three latter acronym)

You can download marketing material from IBM's web site. You can probably get the manuals for the asking from your vendor. If you have the PACK, you already have the manuals, in PDF form, on the CD.
