Table Partitioning as of Start Release 7.00

If the start release of your SAP system is SAP NetWeaver 7.0 or a higher version, automatic partitioning of large tables is provided for the DMO run.

If a table in the source system has more than 1 billion rows, it will be partitioned automatically. The default partitioning is configured in such a way that HASH partitioning is used with the entire primary key.

Exceptions to the default settings are defined in the file SUM/abap/control/SMIGR_HASHPART.TXT. This file should not be modified. It has the following format:

<tabname>:FIELD1,FIELD2,...

The following placeholders can be used for <tabname>:

* is a placeholder for a string of arbitrary length
? is a placeholder for a single character

You can define additional filters for development classes using the following format:

<tabname>,DEVCLASS=<devclass>:FIELD1,FIELD2,...

If you would like to add or change settings, create the file SUM/abap/control/SMIGR_HASHPART_ADD.TXT and put your additions there. They will overwrite the settings from the delivered file.
