Usage of export , import tools in SAP 4.6C

Hi Gurus,
Can you please guide me how to do sap data export & import in 4.6C version?
Kindly guide me how to documents and also any related blogs on this.
Siva

Hi Vankan,
Your question is so extensive that should be explained a bit.
Could you please be more specific? Which platform are we talking about? DB, OS, etc?
Which kind of export/import do you want to carry out?: e.g.: client transport, client copy, homogeneous system copy, heterogeneous system copy...
The technique you will use for that depends on what you want to do and on the platform you are working on.

  • Usage of 'export' & 'import' command in SSL

    Hi,
    I have a query regarding 'export' and 'import' command while creating security certificates.
    Why do we use export word in this command and not anywhere else -
    keytool -export -alias weblogic -file trust.pem -keystore mykeystore.jks -storepass weblogic -rfc
    why can't we use import instead of export and vice versa.
    what do u mean when u say, import or export, what is the basic difference between these two in terms of security command.
    Thanks,
    Sid

  • ABAP+JAVA system copy using 3rd party export/import tools

    Hi all,
    I am trying to do a homogenous system copy.  I am following the syscopy guide for SAP NW 7.0 SR3 ABAP+JAVA systems
    We are running AIX 5.L and Oracle.
    My question is this.  We are using an IBM XiV system for our disk storage, and we are able to restore from "snaps" which is their version of images.  Does anyone know if it is possible to restore or "import" the data in a system copy using an outside tool like this?  If so, do you have any information on how to?
    I know it is possible to restore the database from an offline backup using BRTools rather than r3load and jload, and I just wanted to see if I can restore from a snap as it would save a lot of time in the procedure.
    Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    That approach is not supported.
    The reason is: combined instances write the instance name and hostname in various places, on the filesystem in .properties files, in the JDBC configuration, depending on the java applications you run on top in various other places. What you're trying to do is effectively "renaming" an instance.
    Technically it's possible to do it and to get it run, yes, but the supported way is running sapinst and choose ABAP + Java system copy. This will prevent you from lots of (not really documented) manual work after the copy.

  • Usage of export/import

    Hi All,
    i have a requirement to export one internal table from one function module and to import the same internal table in to another function module for this i have written code like this
    in first function module
    EXPORT it_acc TO DATABASE indx(hk) ID 'FLIGHTS'
           USING indx_export.
    after this i am calling a Tcode
    this Tcode contains a table control. In the PBO of the table control i written code like
    CALL FUNCTION 'ZFM_GET_SHOP_DATA'
        TABLES
          lt_acc = it_acc.
      indx-srtf2 = 0.
      IMPORT it_acc FROM DATABASE indx(hk) ID 'FLIGHTS'
             USING indx_import.
    But i am unable to get the data. Can any body suggest what's the mistake i am making.
    Regards

    Hi,
        it_acc type and lengthn should be of same in export
        and import and they should be same in LUW.
        Hi,
    export and import stores data in ABAP memory
    which is available in same LUW.
    data matnr like mara-matnr value 'TEST'
    export to memory ID 'test field matnr.
    import matnr from memory id 'TEST'
    here matnr in export and importv should be of same name
    and length.
    SAP global memory is used in SET,GET parameter id.
    they are stored in table tpara.

  • ORACLE 8 - Export - Import

    Hi Experts,
    I want to do an export - import of my Oracle DB. As I understand this could reduce my DB size.
    What method do you suggest?
    Can I use SAPINST 7.00 for the export -import? my SAP is 4.5B
    It´s the same SAP System ID and the same server I just want to reduce my DB size.
    Regards

    > I want to do an export - import of my Oracle DB. As I understand this could reduce my DB size.
    This process is called "reorganization" and is only necessary if lots of data was deleted. Just exporting and importing doesn't do any change.
    > Can I use SAPINST 7.00 for the export -import? my SAP is 4.5B
    SAPINST doesn't know about 4.5B, this is LONG gone.
    Oracle 8 and 4.5B are long out of maintenance, nowadays available tools don't support such old ancient versions. You would need to do that using sapdba or write your own scripts.

  • SAP Export/Import via R3load

    Hello,
    SAP recommended a sorted export/import for oracle databases. A unsorted export/import ist very very quicker than a sorted export/import.
    very quicker means sorted = eg. 56 hours and unsorted eg. 12 hours.
    Is there any problems if i take the unsorted export?
    regards,
    stefan

    Hello Stefan,
    >> SAP recommended a sorted export/import for oracle databases
    That fact relies on database internal facts like clustering factor of indexes to the table. You will benefit of a sorted export in cases of primary indexes access and so on... but this topic is much bigger than your question.
    >> very quicker means sorted = eg. 56 hours and unsorted eg. 12 hours.
    Where did you get this values from? You can split big tables or packages ... or define parallel access paths and so on... and it depends on your database configuration (sort areas, PGA, etc..)
    I have done some migrations/exports with distmon... and optimized it manually ... so i got from round about 72 hours (normal export with some split packages) to only 12 hours. I have done only sorted exports.
    >> Is there any problems if i take the unsorted export?
    Some tables must be exported sorted (for example cluster tables) - have a look at sapnote #954268 ... but generally there are no "problems".
    If you have a BW system... some rules are changing...
    @ Markus:
    >> You mean the usage of "R3load -loadprocedure fast"? Or how do you do the "unsorted unload"?
    The option "loadprocedure fast" has nothing to do with the unload process. It speeds up the import (insert) by bypassing the buffer cache. Refer to sapnote #1045847 and the following link:
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/c21dlins.htm

  • Metadata export/import to other BI tools?

    Metadata export/import to other BI tools?
    Hi ,
    I am using SQL DM 3.0.0.665. I need your thoughs on following.
    As we build our logical/physical models in SQL data Modeler, we create our metadata for our attributes/columns.
    After creating our physical model, other BI and reporting tools acquire access to the physical tables. Each tool has a process of creating their reporting layer and able to bring the tables/columns into reporting layer. It shows the column names as it is. It is not business friendly.
    Do we have a mechanism to export attribute business names as meta data of DB tables?
    If we define the meta data as part of physical model using modeling tools such as Oracle SQL Developer or ERWIN, will we able to import those into BI tools as report elements meta data?
    Where can I find details?
    How do we do that?
    Thanks in helping us out.

    Hi,
    there is no problem if you are building reports on top of our reporting repository - table DMRS_MAPPINGS holds information for pairs - (entity- table), (attribute-column)...., and you can take implementation and business name.
    Exchange to BI tools - you need to know how particular BI tool can recognize and link implementation and business names and then you can use transformation script in order to provide required information. There are examples on this forum how to deal with files and database connection using transformation script.

  • How to export/import database from tools menu in sql developer.

    Hi,
    I need to export database from a server and import it on another db server using the export database function under tools menu in SQL developer. How do I import it? This is for Oracle 10g database.
    Thanks

    Depends what are you trying to do? Are you making a database copy or just creating an empty schemea or creating schema with the data?
    With 10g, you have also options of using datapump (expdp/impdp) and conventional export/import which is very usefule and easy to use when it comes to create a clone (duplicate schema) or an export/import of some objects.
    If you right click on table object, you have options of export ddl/export data and import data but thats different thant what expdp/impdp or conventional export/import provides. For very small database you can use sqldeveloper but consider
    using other above mentioned options. Hope this helps

  • Export & import of sap sid schema for building a new system

    Hi,
    We have a quality BW system which runs on HANA SPS07 (Revision 73). The database contains many schemas in addition to sap<sid>, the rest of the schemas are used through native HANA and are very huge.
    We are planning to build a new test BW system by system copy method from quality BW systems. We dont want the export/import of entire database as it will take a long time because of huge native HANA schemas, also the schemas other than sap<sid> are not required in the target. Please let me know how to copy only the sap<sid> schema to the new database.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Saravanan

    Hi Saravanan,
    Try with rigth clic on schema -> Export,
    Select CSV format, choose a directory.
    And for import the schema use the follow query:
    import "old_schema"."*" as CSV from 'Directory' with replace threads 10 rename schema "old_schema" to "NEW_schema_name";
    Regards.

  • Cannot open Import/Export Properties Tool

    Hello all,
    I am working with NI TestStand 2014 and I am trying to use the "Import/Export Properties" tool from Tools -> Import/Export Properties... but when I click it, nothing happens, no window, no warning, nothing.
    The option is obviously enabled in the menu but are there other conditions that I might be missing? Looking the internet for exemples, it just appears trivial that this tool should at least show up...
    Any suggestion would be very welcome.
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Matt.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello jigg and thank you for your support.
    Follwing your advices, I found the "Customize Tools Menu" for which the options of "Import/Export Properties" appear to be correct. I have attached a sceen shot of this window.
    I followed the path to the sequence file "GenericImportExport.seq" given under:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 2014\Components\Tools
    I launched this sequence from testStand, the sequence makes a call to a "TSDBComponents.dll" under:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 2014\Components\StepTypes\Database\TSDBComponents.dll
    The run fails immediately. The best piece of information I could get is "Error - System Level Exception"...
    By the way, running the sequence "ImportExport.seq" sitting aside the so called "generic" one works properly. However this sequence does not call the same dll so, well...
    Here is a another clue in case it may help:
    - I open TestStand and login as administrator
    - I click on "Tools" -> "Import/Export Properties..." and nothing happens.
    - I close TestStand and get a "TestStand Debug Options Warning"
    I have attached a screen shot of this window. Here is the text it contains:
    References to PropertyObjects were not released properly.
    Total number of objects: 37
    Number of top-level objects: 5
    Note: Some top-level objects may be included if they are referenced by
    an incorrectly released top-level object. For example, an unreleased
    SequenceContext object references a SequenceFile object.
    The following top-level objects were not released:
    Type Definitions [3 object(s) not released]
    Type Definition #1:

    My TestStand installation comes from "Labview 2014 Automated Test Suite", I am running a windows 7 SP1 64 bits. The TestStand version I have is version 2014 (14.0.0.274) 32-bit under the "Development System" license...
    Since the error I am facing is related to a "system level exception", I wonder if running a 32bit  teststand on a 64 bit machine may be the root cause. Who knows... We have other computers here running the 64 bit version of TestStand and I cannot reproduce this problem there.
    I will try  fresh install and see how further I can go.

  • SYSTEM Copy with Data ( SAP Export/Import way)

    Hello ,
    There is requirement at my client site to build SAP system copy from Production System  without copying Data but
    should have Programs/ Structures / Repository/ Tables & views etc.
    Though We have thought of building SAP system with Export/ Import way and then deleting the Client from copied system
    after that running Remote client copy from Source to Target system with SAP_CUST profile
    But I have heard with SAP Export/Import way , We can have SAP data copy skipped and only structure to copy. If there is any way
    of such kind then Please help me in letting know the same
    Thanks

  • Importing Masters through SAP B1 Import Export Utility

    Hi guys,
    I am using Import and export utility to import BPs and Items. If anyone has used it please tell me if there any issues / future implications regarding it or it is just ok.
    Thanks and regards
    Pardeep

    hi pradeep,
    Only limited amount of columns(limited no. of data) can be
    imported through the import from excel.
    Date from excel should be mapped exactly with
    as with columns and fields in Import from excel for both BP/Items.
    Excise and other tax information in BP can't be uploaded
    through import from excel,this can be possible in DTW.
    Excisable,Material Type,Chapter ID and assesable value
    can't be uploaded through import from excel,this is also not
    possible in SAP B1.
    You need to set warehouses manually if
    "Auto add all warehouse to New Warehouses" is not ticked,this
    is possible in DTW using template oWarehouses.
    Considering above limitations you can better opt for DTW
    to import datas to SAP B1.

  • I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

    Thanks,

    If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts.  There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.
