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 non-standard 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.

Extension Description
#
Structure Files
1 .str
Define the structure of database objects (tables and indexes)
Extent definition files
2 .ext 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
3 .tpl Contains database-specific structure and storage information. There is only one TPL file per
DBMS.
.001, .002, Data Files
4
… Contain the actual database data in compressed form.
Table of Contents files
5 .toc 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
6 .tsk
Log the export status (source) or import status (target) of each database object.
Command Files
7 .cmd
Drive the export and import processes.
Log files
8 .log
Log for export and import processes.
SAPINST Control Files
Control the source export, target installation, and target import process if SAPINST is used.
9 .xml
For the Unicode conversion, R3load also creates logs in XML format on the behalf of the post-
conversion processing with SUMG
