• (Glue-2108) Q: When importing fields from table MATDOC from SAP S/4HANA into a Glue table (e.g. for replication to Hadoop for spend analysis) , not all key fields from the SAP table seem to be imported into the Glue data dictionary. Why not?
• (Glue-2108) Q: I'm getting the error message "Java processing failed at RFC destination '…'". However, when I test the RFC connection through transaction SM59, it seems to be working fine. What is the problem?

• (Glue-2108) Q: What support SLA and time availability do you provide?
• (Glue-2108) Q: How much effort is needed to implement the solution?
• (Glue-2108) Q: Can we have an extractor which reads from several tables and joins their data?
• (Glue-2108) Q: How can I perform an initial full load of mass data with several jobs in parallel?
• (Glue-2108) Q: What delta capture modes does Glue provide?
• (Glue-2108) Q: What delta capture modes does Glue provide on ERP?
• (Glue-2108) Q: What delta capture modes does Glue provide on BW?
• (Glue-2108) Q: Why should we not use the delta capture method using database triggers on SAP BW?
