Slim,

It looks like Sage has a underlying database that could be for example Oracle so you would have to use the odbc or oledb of the database that Sage is using.

Karl is right. With my previous company we used Sage Line 500 - and extracted from a SQL database using OLE DB and ODBC.

My suggestion would be - seeing that it seems you are still at the data connection phase - try making a connection in Excel first then use those connection settings when connecting via QlikView.

Hi,

Sage X3 may be implemented over Oracle or MSSql database.

For reporting X3 use crystal reports using ODBC to connect with.

If you need more technical info about X3 you can ask me.

Hello SLIMMEZ02,

To extract data from Sage ERP X3, best practice would not be to access directly the ERP database.

Instead, prefer using :

   - Exports : to export massive data into CSV or XML files

    - Web services : the best way to communicate live with another system (website, application, ...)

Hi Slimm

I am working with X3 at the moment. Our version is based on Oracle. We use the ODBC to connect to the data.

As the database is large we extract to QVD's overnight and run the majority of the reports of these.

We do have some tactical reports that run directly of the erp database during the day.

You need the OBDC connection to already be set up on the machine that is running the QV extract report i.e.

the Accesspoint Server or on your client pc.

You will need the appropriate Oracle client software installed on this machine first.

The Microsoft Oracle ODBC client did not work for us.
