In my previous blog Replicate ABAP database table definition to PostgreSQL the step how to replicate the table definition in ABAP server into PostgreSQL is introduced. As now we already have empty table, the next step is to replicate the transaction data of that table from ABAP server to PostgreSQL.

Now ABAP table COMM_PRODUCT is successfully replicated to PostgreSQL:

In my ABAP server table COMM_PRODUCT has totally 94331 entries:

ENDFORM.Those entries are exported from ABAP server to my local laptop stored in txt format.Now go back to PostgreSQL console, choose import from context menu:Load the local text file:And you can see import successful notification:​Click detail hyperlink, and you see totally 94331 lines are imported from ABAP server.Just do some double click to confirm whether the data imported are exactly equal to the records in ABAP server.
