Reading Transport Datasets
To read in a transport dataset, select one of the transport actions Import or Upload on the initial screen of the transport tool.
If you want to perform a test import first, select Test run. The system then carries out all the usual checks for an import and prepares an import log.
The import log also contains information on which locks need to be set during import. The test import enables you to check that importing a particular transport dataset will be successful and shows the changes that would be made in table AQLDB of the target client. Test runs never actual perform these changes themselves, however. You should always make use of this checking facility.
To perform an import (or test import), you must define the transport dataset(s) you want to import. The transport datasets in the table AQTDB have a key which matches the name of the transport request created for the transport system during the export. In the select option Transport request, you must specify the key of the transport datasets to be imported. The section
Managing Transport Datasets below describes how you can get an overview of the transport datasets in the table AQTDB.If, for example, you want to re-import the dataset exported in
Generating Transport Datasets, you must make the following entries:
When the import is finished, the system outputs a detailed log of all the checks performed and all the changes made to the table AQLDB.
If you have selected the Delete after successful import parameter, the system deletes the transport dataset from the table AQTDB after importing it, if no error occurs. You should use this parameter only if you are sure that you no longer need the transport dataset. The following section describes other ways you can delete transport datasets.
