SHAPEFILE EXTRACTION IN SAP BODS STEPS The shape file format can store the geometric location and attribute information of geographic features. Geographic features in a shape file can be represented by points, lines, or polygons (areas). Mandatory files .shp — shape format; the feature geometry itself .shx — shape index format; a positional index of the feature geometry to allow seeking forwards and backwards quickly .dbf — attribute format; columnar attributes for each shape The Shapefile adapter allows you to load the geospatial vector data from Shapefiles into the any other database for further analysis. Each Shapefile consists of one set of .dbf, .shp, .prj and .shx files. If there are duplicates, they must be separated into multiple sub-directories so that each file folder contains only one .dbf, .shp, .prj and .shx file.
