Alternative option for IMPORT/ EXPORT using Shared Memory SHMA approach.

[dinesh_kumar45]

Motivation:-

In this blog you will learn how to use shared memory as alternative option of ABAP Memory(Import/Export).

Business Scenario:- Many of times we need Import & Export at the time of SAP Enhancement or other requirements so Here use of shared memory which is also alternate option of Import/ Export and as per SAP standard guideline this approach is highly recommended.

Class Creation with Shared Memory

Add this Interface IF_SHM_BUILD_INSTANCE in Interface

Create any table as per your requirement- in my case I have created a range table.

Assignment of Internal Table

Internal Table

Save and Activated

Open T-Code – SHMA , Give any name and create

T-Code SHMA

T-Code - SHMA inside Screen

Give below setting as per the screen shot.

SHMA Setting

Now Run T-Code - SE24 and open class ZCL_ROOT_SHMA in the change mode and double click on SHMA and double click on Method - IF_SHM_BUILD_INSTANCE~BUILD.

method IF_SHM_BUILD_INSTANCE~BUILD.



 data: lr_area TYPE REF TO ZCL_ROOT_SHMA_USE,

       lr_root type REF TO ZCL_ROOT_SHMA,

       lr_exp type REF TO cx_root.



  try.

  lr_area = ZCL_ROOT_SHMA_USE=>attach_for_write( ).



  CATCH cx_shm_error INTO lr_exp.

  RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE cx_shm_build_failed

  EXPORTING

    previous =   lr_exp.

  ENDTRY.





  CREATE OBJECT lr_root AREA HANDLE lr_area.

  lr_area->set_root( lr_root ).

  lr_area->detach_commit( ).

  endmethod.

Save and Activate the above code.

Now below code Report A & Report B ,I have created as example , Here will export internal table in the shared memory.

Report A-

TRY.

  zcl_root_shma_use=>build( ).

  CATCH cx_shma_not_configured. “ SHM Administration: Area Property Is Not Configured

  CATCH cx_shma_inconsistent.   “ SHM Administration: Inconsistent Attribute Combination

  CATCH cx_shm_build_failed.    “ Constructor Run Failed



ENDTRY.



TRY.

    DATA(lr_area) = zcl_root_shma_use=>attach_for_update(

*                 inst_name   = cl_shm_area=>default_instance

*                 attach_mode = cl_shm_area=>attach_mode_default

*                 wait_time   = 0

                   ).

  CATCH cx_shm_inconsistent.           “ Different Definitions Between Program and Area

  CATCH cx_shm_no_active_version.      “ No active version exists for an attach

  CATCH cx_shm_exclusive_lock_active.  “ Instance Already Locked

  CATCH cx_shm_version_limit_exceeded. “ No Additional Versions Available

  CATCH cx_shm_change_lock_active.     “ A write lock is already active

  CATCH cx_shm_parameter_error.        “ Passed parameter has incorrect value

  CATCH cx_shm_pending_lock_removed.   “ Shared Objects: Waiting Lock Was Deleted



ENDTRY.



DATA lr_root TYPE REF TO zcl_root_shma.

TRY.

    lr_root ?= lr_area->get_root( ).

  CATCH cx_shm_already_detached.

ENDTRY.





DATA wa_kunnr TYPE range_vbeln.

DATA gt_kunnr TYPE TABLE OF range_vbeln.

wa_kunnr-sign = ‘I’.

wa_kunnr-option = ‘EQ’.

wa_kunnr-low  = ‘12345’.

wa_kunnr-high = ‘9009000’.

APPEND wa_kunnr TO gt_kunnr.



lr_root->lt_kunnr = gt_kunnr.

lr_area->set_root( lr_root ).

lr_area->detach_commit( ).

 

Now Use below code for Import Internal table from shared Memory

Report B-

TRY.

    DATA(lr_area) = zcl_root_shma_use=>attach_for_read( ).

  CATCH cx_shm_inconsistent.          " Different Definitions Between Program and Area

  CATCH cx_shm_no_active_version.     " No active version exists for an attach

  CATCH cx_shm_read_lock_active.      " Request for a Second Read Lock

  CATCH cx_shm_exclusive_lock_active. " Instance Already Locked

  CATCH cx_shm_parameter_error.       " Incorrect parameter passed

  CATCH cx_shm_change_lock_active.    " A Change Lock Is Already Active



ENDTRY.



DATA LR_ROOT TYPE REF TO zcl_root_shma.

TRY.

LR_ROOT ?= LR_AREA->get_root( ).

          CATCH cx_shm_already_detached. " Handle Already Released



ENDTRY.

DATA  GT_kunnr type TABLE OF RANGE_VBELN.

GT_kunnr = LR_ROOT->lt_kunnr.



LR_AREA->detach_area( ).

 

Run Report A and see the Report B output in Debug mode

Debug mode for Report B

Captured data in the Internal table from Shared Memory

Summary:

This blog can help you to understand how to use shared memory class and how can we use as alternative option of Export/Import.

Hope this blog may help you in your use cases. Please do like follow and comment if you have an any query on this topic.
