● A CSV file, for example, TiCsv.csv
Contains the data to be imported into the SAP HANA table
● A second CSV file, for example, TiCsvExtend.csv
Contains the new (extended) data to be imported into the table
● A table definition, for example, TiTable.hdbtable
Defines the structure of the target import table
● The schema definition, for example, TISCHEMA.schema
Specifies the name of the schema in which the target import table is created
● An application-logic, for example, TiConsumerApp.xsjs
1. Open the repository package that contains the table-import data file (for example, TiData.hdbtid) that you
want to extend.
2. Create a CSV file and give the new CSV file a name, for example, TiCsvExtend.csv.
This is the CSV file that contains the new, extended data to be imported into the table. The extended data
either changes or adds to the date specified in the original CSV file TiCsv.csv.
3. Open the new CSV file TiCsvExtend.csv in any code editor and enter the new, extended values you want to
import separated by a comma.
For example, enter the name NewFoo,Bar.
NewFoo,Bar
Note: The value NewFoo in theTiCsvExtend.csv modifies the original Foo value specified in the first
CSV file TiCsv.csv.
4. Create a table-import data-extension file (for example, TiDataExtend.hdbtid) and place the new data-
extension file in the same package (for example, TiPackage) as the other files.
5. Enter the following lines into the data-extension file TiDataExtend.hdbtid.
Note: The following example is for illustration purposes only. In the example shown,
.TiPackage is the absolute path to the table-import package in the repository and
TiData.hdbtid is the name of the data-extension file for the data-import operation.
modifies TiPackage:TiData.hdbtid;
csvFiles = csvFiles + ["TiPackage:TiCsvExtend.csv"];
6. In the SAP HANA XS application .xsjs, modify the script to query the
90
new value(s) specified in the table-import extension configuration.
In this example, the table-import extension adds the name NewFoo to the data to be imported to SAP HANA;
you now want to query the value NewFoo.
