Using expdp to export a mix of tables with data and tables without data

Hi,
I would like to create a .dmp file using expdp, exporting a set of tables with data and another set without data. Is there a way to do this in a single .dmp file? For example, I want all the tables in a schema with data, but for the fact tables in that schema, I only want the fact table objects, not the data. I thought it might be easier to create two separate .dmp files, one for each scenario, but would be nice to have one .dmp file that satisfies my requirement. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-Rodolfo

You could do this with where clauses. Let's say you have 10 tables to export, 5 with data and 5 without data. I would do it like this
tab1_w_data
tab2_w_data
tab3_w_data
tab4_w_data
tab5_w_data
tab1_wo_data
tab2_wo_data
tab3_wo_data
tab4_wo_data
tab5_wo_data
I would make one generic query
query="where rownum = 0"
and I would make 5 specific queries
query=tab1_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab2_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab3_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab4_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab5_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
The first query will be applied to all tables that don't have their own specific query and it will export no rows, the next 5 will apply to each of the corresponding table.

Internal table with Import and Export

Hi All,
Hi all
Please let me know the use of <b>Internal table with Import and Export parameters and SET/GET parameters</b>, on what type of cases we can use these? Plese give me the syntax with some examples.
Please give me detailed analysis on the above.
Regards,
Prabhu

Hi Prabhakar,
There are three types of memories.
1. ABAP MEMORY
2. SAP MEMORY
3. EXTERNAL MEMORY.
1.we will use EXPORT/ IMPORT TO/ FROM MEMORY-ID when we want to transfer between ABAP memory
2. we will use GET PARAMETER ID/ SET PARAMETER ID to transfer between SAP MEMORY
3. we will use EXPORT/IMPORT TO/FROM SHARED BUFFER to transfer between external memory.
ABAP MEMORY : we can say that two reports in the same session will be in ABAP MEMORY
SAP MEMORY: TWO DIFFERENT SESSIONS WILL BE IN SAP MEMORY.
for ex: IF WE CALL TWO DIFFERENT TRANSACTIONS SE38, SE11
then they both are in SAP MEMORY.
EXTERNAL MEMORY: TWO different logons will be in EXTERNAL MEMORY.
<b>Syntax</b>
To fill the input fields of a called transaction with data from the calling program, you can use the SPA/GPA technique. SPA/GPA parameters are values that the system stores in the global, user-specific SAP memory. SAP memory allows you to pass values between programs. A user can access the values stored in the SAP memory during one terminal session for all parallel sessions. Each SPA/GPA parameter is identified by a 20-character code. You can maintain them in the Repository Browser in the ABAP Workbench. The values in SPA/GPA parameters are user-specific.
ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements.
To fill one, use:
SET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement saves the contents of field <f> under the ID <pid> in the SAP memory. The code <pid> can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under <pid>, this statement overwrites it. If the ID <pid> does not exist, double-click <pid> in the ABAP Editor to create a new parameter object.
To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
GET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement fills the value stored under the ID <pid> into the variable <f>. If the system does not find a value for <pid> in the SAP memory, it sets SY-SUBRC to 4, otherwise to 0.
To fill the initial screen of a program using SPA/GPA parameters, you normally only need the SET PARAMETER statement.
The relevant fields must each be linked to an SPA/GPA parameter.
On a selection screen, you link fields to parameters using the MEMORY ID addition in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement. If you specify an SPA/GPA parameter ID when you declare a parameter or selection option, the corresponding input field is linked to that input field.
On a screen, you link fields to parameters in the Screen Painter. When you define the field attributes of an input field, you can enter the name of an SPA/GPA parameter in the Parameter ID field in the screen attributes. The SET parameter and GET parameter checkboxes allow you to specify whether the field should be filled from the corresponding SPA/GPA parameter in the PBO event, and whether the SPA/GPA parameter should be filled with the value from the screen in the PAI event.
When an input field is linked to an SPA/GPA parameter, it is initialized with the current value of the parameter each time the screen is displayed. This is the reason why fields on screens in the R/3 System often already contain values when you call them more than once.
When you call programs, you can use SPA/GPA parameters with no additional programming overhead if, for example, you need to fill obligatory fields on the initial screen of the called program. The system simply transfers the values from the parameters into the input fields of the called program.
However, you can control the contents of the parameters from your program by using the SET PARAMETER statement before the actual program call. This technique is particularly useful if you want to skip the initial screen of the called program and that screen contains obligatory fields.
Reading Data Objects from Memory
To read data objects from ABAP memory into an ABAP program, use the following statement:
Syntax
IMPORT <f1> [TO <g 1>] <f 2> [TO <g 2>] ... FROM MEMORY ID <key>.
This statement reads the data objects specified in the list from a cluster in memory. If you do not use the TO <g i > option, the data object <f i > in memory is assigned to the data object in the program with the same name. If you do use the option, the data object <f i > is read from memory into the field <g i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.
You do not have to read all of the objects stored under a particular name <key>. You can restrict the number of objects by specifying their names. If the memory does not contain any objects under the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is set to 4. If, on the other hand, there is a data cluster in memory with the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is always 0, regardless of whether it contained the data object <f i >. If the cluster does not contain the data object <f i >, the target field remains unchanged.
Saving Data Objects in Memory
To read data objects from an ABAP program into ABAP memory, use the following statement:
Syntax
EXPORT <f1> [FROM <g 1>] <f 2> [FROM <g 2>] ... TO MEMORY ID <key>.
This statement stores the data objects specified in the list as a cluster in memory. If you do not use the option FROM <f i >, the data object <f i > is saved under its own name. If you use the FROM <g i > option, the data objet <g i > is saved under the name <f i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.

Runtime error in Dynamic internal table with AMOUNT and Quantity Fields..

Dear friends,
I am attempting write a dymanic Select Statement (with joins).
And the sleect query looks like this..
SELECT (LT_SEL_LIST)
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF
TABLE <DYN_TABLE>
FROM (LT_FROM_LIST)
WHERE (LT_WHERE3).
Here the into table is a dynamically created internal table..
which is created by ...this
CALL METHOD CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE
    EXPORTING
      IT_FIELDCATALOG = IT_OUTPUT2[]
    IMPORTING
      EP_TABLE        = DY_TABLE.
the it_output2 contains the the fieldcatlog information of dynamically given fields :-
like:-
       TABNAME
       FIELDNAME
       DATATYPE
       LENG
       INTTYPE
       ROLLNAME
       DECIMALS
       REFTABLE
       REFFIELD
i mean the internal table is constructed with reference to all the bove metadata.
Problem:- This query run fine with all the fields Except AMOUNT AND QUANTITY fields....
When the selection list contain VBAK-NETWR or MSEG-MENGE..It throws a runtime error.
"The data read during a SLECT access couldnt be inserted into the target field,either conversion is not supported for
the target field's type or the target field is too short."
after this I even tried to construct the dynamic table with CFILEDNAME and QFIELDNAME in the Fieldcatalog.
so now my fieldcatlog looks like this:---
LOOP AT IT_DD03L..
IF IT_DD03L-DATATYPE = 'CURR'.
       TABLEFIELD-CFIELDNAME = IT_DD03L-FIELDNAME .
       ENDIF.
   IF IT_FIELDCAT3-DATATYPE = 'QUAN'.
       TABLEFIELD-QFIELDNAME = IT_DD03L-FIELDNAME .
ENDIF.
       TABLEFIELD-TABNAME     = IT_DD03L-TABNAME.
       TABLEFIELD-FIELDNAME   = IT_DD03L-FIELDNAME.
       TABLEFIELD-DATATYPE    = IT_DD03L-DATATYPE.
       TABLEFIELD-INTLEN      = IT_DD03L-LENG.
       TABLEFIELD-INTTYPE     = IT_DD03L-INTTYPE .
       TABLEFIELD-ROLLNAME    = IT_DD03L-ROLLNAME.
       TABLEFIELD-DECIMALS    = IT_DD03L-DECIMALS.
       TABLEFIELD-REF_TABLE   = IT_DD03L-REFTABLE.
       TABLEFIELD-REF_FIELD   = IT_DD03L-REFFIELD.
APPEND TABLEFIELD.
CLEAR TABLEFIELD.
ENDLOOP.
Note:- this is a test code so ignore performance issues...
Please help me with some code ...to avoid the Runtime erorr.
Thanks,
jeevan.

Hi Jeevan,

    clear ls_where.
    concatenate ls_dd03l-fieldname ' <> ''''' into ls_where.

Table with in a table Popin

Hi,
I need to put a table with in a Table pop in. I am able to achieve the table but the I am unable to display different data for each pop in. action.
Example.
Table has 3 records
Row 1
Row 2
Row 3
On expanding Row1 using pop in I am able to display the table.
On expanding Row 2, leaving Row 1 expanded, changes the data in both the Areas, showing data of Row 2.
Could you please help in resolving the issue.

Hi Prasanth,
To display different data inside the table popin, create child node inside the parent node.
Parent_node(0....n)
Child_node( 0....n )
Create a supply function for CHILD_NODE and on select of any row in parent table, write the logic to fill data of child node . Bind this child node to TABLE_POPIN's table
Now, if you select row1, you can fill child node in supply function and it populates the data,
similarly, it works for other rows as well
Hope this helps you.

Upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation

Hi Friends,
I am new to ODI. I have encountered a problem which is specific to ODI 11G (11.1.1.6.3) to upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation. Would you please teach me how to implement the following requirement in ODI 11G?
Input text file a:
staffCode, staffCat, status, data
input text file b:
staffCodeStart, staffCodeEnd, staffCat
temp output oracle table c:
staffCat, data
output oracle table d:
staffCat, data
order:
a.staffCode, a.staffCat, a.status
filter:
a.status = ‘active’
join:
a left outerjoin b on a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
insert temp table c:
c.staffCat = if b.staffCat is not null then b.staffCat else a.staffCat
c.data = a.data
insert table d:
if c.staffCat between 99 and 1000 then d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = sum(c.data)
else d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = LAST(c.data)
Any help on fixing this is highly appreciated. Thanks!!
Thanks,
Chris

Dear Santy,
Many thanks for your prompt reply. May I have more information about the LAST or SUM step?
I was successful to create and run the following interfaces p and q
1. Drag text file a to a newly created interface panel p
2. Filter text file a : a.status = ‘active’
3. Lookup text file a to text file b : a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
4. Drag oracle temp table c to interface panel p
5. Set c.staffCat : CASE WHEN b.staffCat IS NULL THEN a.staffCat ELSE b.staffCat END
6. Set c.data : a.data
7. Drag oracle temp table c to a newly created interface panel q
8. Drag oracle table d to interface panel q
9. Set UK to d.staffCat
10. Set Distinct Rows to table d
11. Set d.staffCat = c.staffCat
12. Set d.data = SUM(c.data)
However, the interface q should be more than that:
If c.staffCat is between 99 and 1000, then d.data = the last record c.data; else d.data = sum(c.data)
Would you please teach me how to do the LAST or SUM steps? Moreover, can interface p and interface q be combined to one interface and do not use the temp table c? Millions thanks!

SQLJ calling PL/SQL with records and tables as parameters

Has anyone used sqlj to to call procedures with records and
tables as IN, OUT, or INOUT as parameters? If so how do you
assign values to the IN parameter in the record/tables, and get
values out of the record/table when it is passed back? Might
anyone have any syntax?

One thing I forgot to mention: If you're an 8i client, then in
8.1.6 you'll be able to use JPublisher to solve this problem,
since it'll generate these wrappers for you.

How to compare table data and table field

Hi buddy,
    I have some question about how to compare table data and table field.
   1. I know there is one method:   CL_ABAP_UNIT_ASSERT=>ASSERT_TABLE_CONTAINS , it use in unit test to compare the table data(A and B) , you can loop table A into structure A1, then use this mehtod it can compare whether table B contain structure A1. but when I try to use this in main program it will dump.
          CL_ABAP_UNIT_ASSERT=>ASSERT_TABLE_CONTAINS(
                                                                                                    LINE    = A1
                                                                                                    TABLE = B ).
       Is there any method or FM can be used to compare the table data ?
    2. I also want to compare two table field , try to find out the different. How to realize this.
Thank you for your sincerely answer.

Hi Zongjie,
What`s the difference, if you using loop A into wa_A, read table B into wa_B with all field, then compare with wa_A and wa_B.
The question 2, seems no standard FM available here.
Loop A into wa_A.
   Loop B into wa_B.
       if wa_A-field1 eq wa_B-field1.
       endif.
        if wa_A-field2 eq wa_B-field2.
       endif.
   endloop.
endloop.

Hi RB_ORIPW,
The table with name of 'XXX' doesn't exist.

If I understanding correctly, you encounter the error randomly, now what you want it that avoid this issue completely, other than stop the services, detele the db filder and restart the services, right?
The error might be caused by that the data file is corrupted. However, we cannot give you the exact reason that cause this issue. You can troubleshoot this issue by using the Windows Event logs and msmdsrv.log.
You can access Windows Event logs via "Administrative Tools" --> "Event Viewer". SSAS error messages will appear in the application log.

How to Create a Table with Merge and partitions in HANA

Hi,
What is the best way to create a Table with MERGE and PARTITION and UNLOAD PRIORITIES.
Any body can you please give me some examples.
Regards,
Deva

Ok,
1) the UNLOAD PRIORITY has nothing to do with the order of data loads in your ETL process
2) Unloading of columns will happen automatically. Don't specify anything specific for the tables, then SAP HANA will take care about it
3) Not sure where you get your ideas from, but there is no need to manually "flush" tables or anything like that. SAP HANA will take care of memory housekeeping.
4) Partitioning and how to specify it for tables has been largely documented. Just read up on it.
5) Delta Merge will happen automatically, as long as you don't prevent it (e.g. by trying to outsmart the mergedog rules)
Seriously, I get the impressions that this list of requirements is based on some hear-say and lack of actual information and experience with SAP HANA. There are a couple of extensive discussions on data loading optimization available here in SCN and on SAPHANA.COM. Please read those first.
All this had been discussed broadly a couple of times.

Using attribute as a set of data and parsing this data

Hi everyone,
I present below a (little) challenge with the use of attributes in XQuery. Consider the following XML document:
<showroom>
<car id="1">
<name>Clio</name>
<family>Renault</family>
</car>
<car id="n">
<name>Q5</name>
<family>Audi</family>
</car>
</showroom>
Each client of the showroom is identified by a unique Id (e.g., 1,2,3,....). Then, i want to add some data to my XML document which should represent, for each car, the set of all clients' Id that have rented this car.
The desired XML document could look like this:
<showroom>
<car id="1">
<name>Clio</name>
<family>Renault</family>
+*<history>*+
+*<client id="2"/>*+
+*<client id="23"/>*+
+*</history>*+
</car>
<car id="n">
<name>Q5</name>
<family>Audi</family>
+*<history>*+
+*<client id="56"/>*+
+*</history>*+
</car>
</showroom>
However, by using elements in order to represent the rental historic, the document's size will increase significantly.
As i use only the clients' id, are there any way to represent the history data using only attributes ?+.
In the following document, the clients' id are represented, as a set, through the attribute +@history+:
<showroom>
<car id="1" history="2,23">
<name>Clio</name>
<family>Renault</family>
</car>
<car id="n" history="56">
<name>Q5</name>
<family>Audi</family>
</car>
</showroom>
However, are there any way to check if a given car of id='x' has been rented by a client of Id='y' ?+.
Does someone know how to represent the history data (sequence of clients' id), using only attributes, and how to look for a given client's id as explained above ?
Please suggest. I appreciate your help.

The two following documents represent examples of the showroom data and the clients' data respectively:
First document:
<showroom>
<car id="1">
<name>Clio</name>
<family>Renault</family>
</car>
<car id="n">
<name>Q5</name>
<family>Audi</family>
</car>
</showroom>
Second document:
<clients>
<client id="2">
<name>...</name>
<firstname>...</firstname>
<driverLicence serialNumber="2156311"/>
</client>
</clients>
The DTDs of these documents are defined as follows:
The showroom DTD:
<!ELEMENT showroom (car)*>
<!ELEMENT car (name,family)>
<!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT family (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT N3 (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST car id ID #REQUIRED>
The clients DTD:
<!ELEMENT clients (client)*>
<!ELEMENT client (name,firstname,driverLicence)>
<!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT firstname (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT driverLicence EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST client id ID #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST driverLicence serialNumber ID #REQUIRED>
Whenever a car is rented, I must add some information either in the same showroom document (it will be better for me) or in another document which relies rented car id with the id of the client which rented this car.
Thanks in advance for your help.
