Can anybody please guide me on SAP connectivity on datastage EE? Is there any way that we can extract or load data from SAP by using datastage px? I heard about a plug-in called " IDOC extract stage". Any document on that is really helpful for me.

Can anybody send me any document on "IDOC extract stage"? My mail -id is satadru.kar@gmail.com.

These plug-in stages are purchased separately from your vendor (the extra cost is due primarily to SAP licensing/certification charges). With them you get the usual PDF format documentation. Search the IBM web site for information about SAP connectivity, which is available both for SAP R/3 and SAP BW.
