The ATS (Advanced ETL Transformation Script) file extension is used to identify text documents created by SAP ( ABAP, XDAB) for Advanced Macros. An ATS file is a type of run-length Source Code that contains custom script-based control functions and structures used to process and transform data with Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) operations. This type of file is commonly created and used by Data Warehouse professionals to transfer data between systems.
The ATS file format is mainly used as part of an ETL pipeline that helps to move data between multiple systems in a structured and predictable fashion. This type of script-based file can be used in many different ways. An ATS file typically contains a mix of custom code, basic scripting like .SQL, and other declarative languages. ATS files are most often associated with the SAP Extractors, such as ABAP, OBCONF, and .TXT. Similar file extensions are LOBJ, .ETP, and XIDM.
Functionality of the Program
An ATS file is used to provide server-side logic to an ETL system. This type of program typically contains a mix of programming elements like SQL commands, macros, conditional statements, variables, and loops. This script-based functionality is compiled into the underlying database for efficient execution. When the ATS program runs, it connects to the source database and retrieves the queries needed to perform multiple layers of transformation logic. Each layer is performed in sequence by running the script attached to the ATS file.
Development Tool Availability
The ATS file format is mainly developed using various SAP modules. Many developers prefer to write code directly in an editor for debugging purposes. There are a few tools available online that allow users to quickly edit an ATS file without having to purchase expensive software packages from developers. Ultimately, it's important to note that creating an ATS script requires knowledge of both the scripting language and the underlying database structure.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ATS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ATS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ATS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ATS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ATS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ATS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ATS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ATS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ATS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ATS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
