/AWS1/IF_DMG=>STARTMETMODELEXPORTTOTARGET()

About StartMetadataModelExportToTarget

Queues an export of the selected converted metadata models (database objects such as tables, views, and procedures) to your target database. If other requests created by Start* operations are already in the migration project's queue, the export begins after they complete.

This operation requires a non-virtual target data provider.

The export applies only metadata models created by conversion. Metadata models imported from the database are skipped.

If objects with the same name already exist on the target database, the export overwrites them.

The operation installs the extension pack on the target database. For more information, see Using extension packs in DMS Schema Conversion.

To check the status of the export request, call DescribeMetadataModelExportsToTarget using the returned RequestIdentifier as a filter.

Required permissions: dms:StartMetadataModelExportToTarget. For more information, see Actions, resources, and condition keys for Database Migration Service.

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

iv_migrationprojectid TYPE /AWS1/DMGMIGRATIONPROJECTID /AWS1/DMGMIGRATIONPROJECTID

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

iv_selectionrules TYPE /AWS1/DMGSTRING /AWS1/DMGSTRING

A JSON string that identifies the metadata models to export to the target database. For the selection rule format and examples, see Selection rules in DMS Schema Conversion.

Usage:

  • Accepts only target selection rules, where server-name in the object locator matches the target data provider.

  • Supports explicit, include, and exclude rule actions.

Optional arguments:

iv_overwriteextensionpack TYPE /AWS1/DMGBOOLEANOPTIONAL /AWS1/DMGBOOLEANOPTIONAL

Specifies whether to overwrite the extension pack if one already exists on the target database. The default value is true.

RETURNING

oo_output TYPE REF TO /aws1/cl_dmgstrtmetmdelexpto01 /AWS1/CL_DMGSTRTMETMDELEXPTO01

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->startmetmodelexporttotarget(
  iv_migrationprojectid = |string|
  iv_overwriteextensionpack = ABAP_TRUE
  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_requestidentifier( ).
ENDIF.

Export converted metadata models to the target database

The following example queues an export of converted metadata models for all objects in the ExampleSchema schema to the target database.

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