5.9.1 Table-Import Model
The table-import model is a configuration file that you use to specify the parameters associated with the list of
comma-separated-value (CSV) files that you want to import. The table-import model also specifies, for each
parameter, into which table the linked-data files are imported, for example, the CSV files linked in the table-import
data file.
You can declare a parameter as optional. If a parameter is optional, it is not necessary to assign a value to this
parameter in the implementing table import data object. To declare a variable as optional in the table-import
model, add the keyword optional before the variable, as illustrated in the example below.
optional listCsvFile csvList;
If you want to add comments to your table-import model, use two back slashes (//) as illustrated in the example
below.
listCsvFile fileList; //this is the csv file list
Example Table-Import Model File
listCsvFile csvFiles;
import csvFiles "TISCHEMA" "TiPackage::TiTable";
5.9.2 Table-Import Data
The table-import data configuration file enables you to specify which table-import model is to be implemented, for
example, TiModel.hdbtim. The file-list parameters created in the table import-model file are assigned to lists of
data-file links, for example, comma-separated values (.csv) files. In the example illustrated below, the .csv is
called TiCsv.csv.
If you want to add comments to your table-import model, use two back slashes (//) as illustrated in the example
below.
implements TiPackage:TiModel.hdbtim; //This is a the import model
You can declare a parameter as final. If a parameter is defined as final, you can prevent modifications of values
assigned to file lists, for example, in a table-import extension. To declare a variable as final in the table-import data
file, add the keyword final before the variable, as illustrated in the example below.
final csvFiles = ["sap.mypackage:data.csv"];
Example Table-Import Data File
implements TiPackage:TiModel.hdbtim; //This is a comment
csvFiles = ["TiPackage:TiCsv.csv"];
csvFilesExt = [
{
file="TiPackage:TiCsv.csv"
},
{
header = false;
file = "sap.xse:csv_config.csv";
keys = [ "Col1" : "b*", "Col1" : "a"];
