R3LDCTL ( R/3 Load Control)

1. Implementation is database and Platform specific.
2. Creates tables and index structures files (*.STR)
3. Creates the view structures files (SAPVIEW.STR)
4. Creates database-specific DDL command template (DDL<DBS>.TPL)
2. R3SZCHK ( R/3 Size Check)
1. Implementation is database and Platform specific.
2. Computes space requirements for tables/indexes and store them into
extent files (*.EXT)
3. Created Target database size file (DBSIZE.XML)
4. DB Object size limit apply.
3. R3LOAD
1. Implementation is database and Platform specific.
2. Dump format is independent of database and platform.
3. Efficient data compression
4. Data Integrity check by checksum calculation
5. Syntax check of R3LOAD control files
6. Parallel call of multiple R3LOAD processes is common
7. Restart capable for data export and import
8. Required migration key for heterogeneous data import
9. Character set conversion (Unicode)
10.Table splitting.
4. SMIGR_CREATE_DDL (Runs on the source system)
Generates <TABART>.SQL files containing DDL statements for nonstandard ABAP database object. The <TABART>.SQL file is used by
R3LOAD to create the non-standard DB objects in the target database
bypassing the information in <PACKAGE>.STR files.
5. RS_BW_POST_Migration (Runs on the Target system)
Perform necessary adaptations because of DB specific objects in the
target system.

Description
Structure Files
Define the structure of database objects (tables and indexes)
Extent definition files
Define storage characteristic (extent sizes) for tables and indexes in the
target database. EXT files exist only for database system with explicit
extent size allocation.
Database Template
Contains database-specific structure and storage information. There is only
one TPL file per DBMS.
Data Files
Contain the actual database data in compressed form.
Table of Contents files
List the contents of the data files for their export class (table names,
starting address of the data for each table in the data files.
Task Files
Log the export status (source) or import status (target) of each database
object.
Command Files
Drive the export and import processes.

.log

.xml

Log files
Log for export and import processes.
SAPINST Control Files
Control the source export, target installation, and target import process if
SAPINST is used.
For the Unicode conversion, R3load also creates logs in XML format on the
behalf of the post-conversion processing with SUMG
