SAP MaxDB Database Studio - Importing landscape as of version 7.9.08.11

This document explains the steps to import landscape into MaxDB Database Studio as of version 7.9.08.11

• Create a XML file - Example C:\Landscape.xml

        Sample XML file:

• To import, you must terminate the current Database Studio session and then start it from the command line with option -ldf as follows:

        C:\> cd <Database_Studio_installation_path>

        For example:

        C:\> cd sapdb\clients\DatabaseStudio

        Start Database Studio.

        C:\sapdb\clients\DatabaseStudio> dbstudio -ldf "C:\Landscape.xml"

• The option '-ldf' stands for 'landscape definition file'. The Database Studio then performs the import soon after it is started. After it is completed, the Explorer view contains an additional landscape with name defined in the xml file, in which the databases will be inserted.

• The passwords in Database Studio are encrypted. Due to security reasons, they cannot be imported. You have to add the logins for the databases in the imported landscape after import.
