How does DaRT Reader work?

DaRT Reader reads a DaRT extract. This consists of several files - the directory file and at least one other file. The directory file name has the extension _DR by default and contains information about the extract.

With DaRT Reader you can obtain information about the extract. For example, you can see which user created the extract and which fiscal year the extract refers to.

DaRT extracts contain checksums relating to individual tables. DaRT Reader allows you to verify these checksums to ensure that the data has not been altered.

Your data stays on your systems. Processing takes place locally on your computer.

What does it cost?

DaRT Reader is licensed per SAP system - for 700 EUR net per year (plus VAT). This allows you to install the software on as many computers as you like, as long as you process extracts from the licensed SAP system. If you need the software for additional SAP systems, simply add more licences.
