From the Initial Screen of Glue Data Dictionary, you can create Glue Table from already existing External Table.

Glue table is created based on HIVE table that exists on Hadoop cluster. The field types are automatically converted from HIVE/Impala types to standard SAP types (data elements must be added manually if needed).

Specify following popup fields:

Glue Table – the name for newly created Glue Table
Description – description of new Glue Table
External table – the name of existing External table from which Glue Table will be created
Storage ID – defines storage where the external table exists
Package – the package where new Glue Table will be created

3. Proceed

4. New Glue table is created.

This table can be used for all available Glue features: Data Browser, Data extractions, and InfoProviders, but first you must manually specify data elements.
