Usage of R3LOAD and R3LDCTL While Performing the Migration(OS/DB)

Updated May 18, 2018

Hello Experts,

Can anyone explain me what is the usage of R3load and R3LDCTL while performing the migration(OS/DB).

If R3LDCTL reads the ABAP dictionary structure of source system

And creates the STR files which describes definition of tables,indexes

And views then what is usage of R3load process apart from performing load tasks (TSK)?

    R3LOAD will read the STR files created by R3LDCTL and dump the database table contents in an OS file during export, and during import ABAP, R3LOAD will load the contents of the dump files into the database.

    Got it. If this is the case during import MIGMON will initiate the R3load to read the TSK and CMD files created by MigMon and perform the load and create the DB/platform independent TSK and log files r8? Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks

    Yes correct Abhijeet. Rather R3load will update TSK files during import abap phase when a particular table/index corresponding to a tabart has been successfully loaded.
