MAXDB Provides a powerful tool to perform Export/Import through Loader utility which is very useful in case of Heterogeneous System Copy.
There are some limitations to use Loadercli via command line as it require same versions on source & target to perform Export/Import.
If you are using different OS on source & target then Loadercli is not a good option as it’s very difficult to keep same versions on both side.
Loadercli will perform the same action smoothly as it works with MAXDB Studio where you can connect the both source & target DB’s & use same loadercli to perform export/import in the DB. You can export the entire SCHEMA or Tables from source & import the same in Target SCHEMA.
Loader requires SQL login to respective SCHEMA for export/import. You can do a SQL login by Right Click on DB & then SAPUSER SCHEMA name is visible. Expand the SAPUSER schema & right click on Schema or Tables —- select export. it will ask you some options & export the entire contents on your local PC.
The same loadercli can use for importing in Target Schema, do a SQL login in Target Schema, select SAPUSER schema & click on schema — Right Click & Import. Give the correct location & it will show the exported contents & you can select the options as requires & perform the import.
