Import of data cluster ends with mismatch exception, CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR

[Former Member]

Hi,

I was trying to import a data cluster using IMPORT ... FROM DATABASE AQRDB(lv) ID id statement, and CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR exception was thrown because "when importing object FIELDCAT the structure did not match the structure of the target object". So, it seems like there is a field in FIELDCAT structure that has a different type than the equivalent field of the structure in data cluster. Is there any way to look up that structure in data cluster so that I can change FIELDCAT structure's field? I tried looking into database table aqrdb, but I could only see cluster index, and don't know how to get the actual data.

IMPORT fieldcat = fieldcatalog
layout   = layout
SORT     = SORT
FROM DATABASE aqrdb(lv)
TO wa
ID l_srtfd_pattern IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.

Hi,

Program RSINDX00 does allow to glean some information about the component lengths and types, but if the Fieldcat has deep/structured components, it will merely allow to guess, which structure has changed (has different length).

Other than that, maybe CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_UTILITIES could be of help (after applying 1282630 - EXPORT/IMPORT: Improvement of analysis tools if its relevant, though that Note does require kernel patches...). I have not actually tried using CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_UTILITIES, so I can't advise on what it can.

Edit in: CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_UTILITIES=>DB_GET_DIRECTORY allows (on SAP Basis 702) to basically get in an internal table the same unsatisfactory information RSINDX00 displays...

cheers
