What does Atlan crawl from SAP Datasphere?
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
SAP Datasphere is backed by a single database. Atlan maps the top-level catalog as DEFAULT to its Database asset type, and maps each SAP Datasphere space to the Schema asset type.

| Schema count | schemaCount | asset filters |
Schemas
Atlan maps each SAP Datasphere space to its Schema asset type.
| Source property | Atlan property | Where in Atlan |
