IMPORT/EXPORT using Database Memory!

Former Member — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 05:21:58 GMT

Hi ,

Please let me know How effective is the usage of Export/Import?

How long will the value be retained in the memory?

What are the scenarios when this value is likely to be cleared?

We can import/export a value to a database memory as follows :

EXPORT v_date

FROM sy-datum

TO DATABASE indx(xy)

ID 'v_date'

indx is a database table with xy as the cluster.

Please let me know the following :

what is cluster?

Where is this value stored in the database?

Is it possible to view this value?

Thanks

Hi..

Exporting means u are sending value to a memory location...which u can make use from other programs..by importing.

In some cases Importing and exporting are not that advisable, when multiple users are running the same program.

Always after u have imported the value from memory try to delete the valu efrom memory..That is an accepted practice...

Hope the above info helps...
