Export Management for Advanced Users

You can generate configured metadata (called entities) directly from the SQL Manager, save the entities to a text file, and then export entities from the text file to an export data file using Mobile System Maintenance (MSY).

Prerequisites

You have ensured that the format of the entity entries in the text file is as follows:

Export:<BONAME>:<UNIQUE KEY>:<ENTITY SHORT CODE>:<ENTITY DISPLAY ATTRIBUTE VALUE>

Export is the keyword for the export
BONAME is the business object name of the entity
UNIQUE KEY is the unique key of the entity record (or the SFAKEY value)
ENTITY SHORT CODE indicates the type of entity to be exported
You can find the short codes for all the entities in the EXPORTIMPORTENTITIES choice field.

For more information about choice fields, see Choice Field Overview.

ENTITY DISPLAY ATTRIBUTE VALUE gives information about the values from a specified field in the tables for each entity type.

Following are the table and field names from which the display attribute values are retrieved for each entity type.

Entity Type	Field Name	Table Name
Business Content Provider	`BCPUNIQUENAME`	`SMOBCP`
Reports, Charts	`NAME`	`SMOREPMA`
Document Layouts	`LAYNAM` and `LAYSC`	`SMOLAYITM`
Choice Fields	`CLIST`	`SMOCHLIST`
Advanced Selection	`EXNAME`	`SMOEXHEAD`
Advanced Selection Criteria	`CONNAME`	`SMOEXCOND`
Relationship Category	`RELTYP`	`SMOKVBEZTP`
Business Hours	`KVOPTYP`	`CDBC_TB049`
Contact Person Type	`KTOKD`	`SMOT077D`
Application Parameters	`ID`	`SMOREG`
Inbox Mappings	`TNAME`	`SMOUIMAP`
Field Property Maintenance	`AUART`, `PSTYV`, `MODNAM`, `FIELDN`	`SMOSDFLDS`

The entity type, Sales Transaction Customization, has the fixed value Sales Tran. Customization.

Note Note

You must enter a colon after each keyword in the export format specified above. Each record that you enter must be in a new line.

For more information about the data structures of these entity types, see Data Structures of Entity Types.

End of the note.

Example Example

To export a Relation Type, enter:

Export:BOKVBEZTP:0772FAAAEBBE43C8B206BB3183F9C87F:REL:00000010

End of the example.
