IMPORTING

Required arguments:

iv_selectionrules TYPE /AWS1/DMGSTRING /AWS1/DMGSTRING

A JSON string that identifies the metadata model to retrieve. For the selection rule format and examples, see Selection rules in DMS Schema Conversion.

Usage:

  • Accepts source or target selection rules depending on the Origin parameter. The server-name in the object locator must match the corresponding data provider.

  • Supports only explicit rule actions.

  • Exactly one rule is allowed.

iv_migrationprojectid TYPE /AWS1/DMGMIGRATIONPROJECTID /AWS1/DMGMIGRATIONPROJECTID

The migration project name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

iv_origin TYPE /AWS1/DMGORIGINTYPEVALUE /AWS1/DMGORIGINTYPEVALUE

Specifies whether to retrieve metadata from the source or target tree. Valid values: SOURCE | TARGET

RETURNING

oo_output TYPE REF TO /aws1/cl_dmgdescrmetmodelrsp /AWS1/CL_DMGDESCRMETMODELRSP

Examples

Syntax Example

This is an example of the syntax for calling the method. It includes every possible argument and initializes every possible value. The data provided is not necessarily semantically accurate (for example the value "string" may be provided for something that is intended to be an instance ID, or in some cases two arguments may be mutually exclusive). The syntax shows the ABAP syntax for creating the various data structures.

DATA(lo_result) = lo_client->describemetadatamodel(
  iv_migrationprojectid = |string|
  iv_origin = |string|
  iv_selectionrules = |string|
).

This is an example of reading all possible response values

lo_result = lo_result.
IF lo_result IS NOT INITIAL.
  lv_string = lo_result->get_metadatamodelname( ).
  lv_string = lo_result->get_metadatamodeltype( ).
  LOOP AT lo_result->get_targetmetadatamodels( ) into lo_row.
    lo_row_1 = lo_row.
    IF lo_row_1 IS NOT INITIAL.
      lv_string = lo_row_1->get_metadatamodelname( ).
      lv_string = lo_row_1->get_selectionrules( ).
    ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.
  lv_string = lo_result->get_definition( ).
ENDIF.

Retrieve a source table metadata model

The following example retrieves detailed information about the ExampleTable table in the ExampleSchema schema from the source metadata tree, including its SQL definition and references to the corresponding converted metadata models in the target database.

DATA(lo_result) = lo_client->describemetadatamodel(
  iv_migrationprojectid = |arn:aws:dms:us-east-1:111122223333:migration-project:EXAMPLEABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS|
  iv_origin = |SOURCE|
  iv_selectionrules = |{"rules": [{"rule-type": "selection", "rule-id": "1", "rule-name": "1", "object-locator": {"server-name": "example-source-server.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com", "schema-name": "ExampleSchema", "table-name": "ExampleTable"}, "rule-action": "explicit"}]}|
).
