HANA – Multiple(selected) tables binary data export / Import using script

HANA admin / developers frequently get tasks to export/import selective list of HANA tables data to disk for stage refresh ,  backup , re-partitioning  etc.

Developed bash script code helps automate export or import activity for multiple selective tables.

Features –>

  • Server level export /import execution instead from studio as client
  • script can be run in background at HANA server and progress can be monitor
  • easy configuration using hdbuserstore
  • input list of tables and script will take care of export /import

 

Pre-requisite — >

  • Create text file with list of table names i.e. schema_name.table_name format
  • create hdbuserstore key

Execution –>

  • ensure hdbuserstore key created as mentioned i.e. SIDexp
  •              table_list.txt file created 
  •              Export path exists and has sufficient space as per table data 
  • execute as –>    sh <script_name.sh>   >  log.txt  &
  • monitor log.txt for progress

 

Below are two different scripts for Export and Import.

 

Export related script 

#!/bin/bash

   while read line; do
      mtable="$line"

        /usr/sap/SID/HDB80/exe/hdbsql -U SIDexp "EXPORT $mtable AS BINARY into '/hanabackup/export_test/tables'"
        RC=$?

    if [ $RC -eq 0 ]
     then
     echo "\n $mtable export completed successfully $RC"
    fi

    if [ $RC -ne 0 ]
     then
     echo "\n $mtable export completed with error $RC"
    fi


   done < /hanabackup/export_test/table_list.txt

 

Import script –> 

as of now script consider target schema /table structure is already exists and it will replace only data.

also considering meta data i.e. structure is same in source and target table.

 

#!/bin/bash

print_help ()
{
cat << !

Usage --> Script will import (binary exported using HANA tools) selected require tables to specified schema.

Paramters

USER KEY -  hdbuserstore key to connect DB
HANA SID - Datbase SID
MSOURCE - Source schema name
MTARGET - Target schema name
EXPORT_PATH - Exported file path
table_file - List of tables to import schema_name.table_name format in text file with path
Examples
   $0 --hdbkey=<<hdbuserstore KEY>> --sourceschema=<<MSOURCE>> 
     --targetschema=<<MTARGET>>  --exportpath=<<EXPORT_PATH>>  
     --hsid=<<Database SID>> 
     --tablefile=<<List of schema_name.table with path>>
