What does Atlan crawl from SAP Datasphere?

Connect docs via MCP

Atlan extracts metadata for Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views, Analytic models, Columns, and Replication Flows from SAP Datasphere and maps each property to its internal asset model. The tables below list which SAP Datasphere properties are read and how they appear on the corresponding Atlan asset.

Once you have crawled SAP Datasphere, you can use connector-specific filters for quick asset discovery.

Databases
