title: Connect SQL Server to SAP Backend (also a SQL Server)
body: <p>I am trying to connect my SQL Server directly to the SAP backend database so that I don't have to extract the data everyday (for fresh data) using SSIS packages. </p>
  
  <p>Instead I want to create views that will access this data directly (direct querying) and get refreshed periodically. </p>
  
  <p>Can someone give me a link or show/tell me the steps on how to do this?</p>
