Using the Infosystem

Using the Infosystem

You can access the Infosystem by selecting Tools ® Administration ® User maintenance ® Repository Infosys.

For details on using the report tree choose Help ® Application help, or Utilities ® Online manual.

In the report tree you can use a range of selection criteria for the following objects:

Users

Profiles

Authorization objects

Authorizations

Activity groups

Transactions

Comparisons

Where-used lists

Change documents

You can display the node attributes for each node in the report tree by choosing the relevant symbol.

You can display a legend for the different levels by choosing Utilities ® Color legend.

To find a particular node, choose Edit ® Find.

If you want to find authorizations with the generic value *, you should note the following:

A star (*) is regarded as a formatting character in the input field on the selection screen.

The character # removes the star as a formatting character.

Therefore you should use the character string #* for a generic search.

Click on a node in the hierarchy if you want to expand the node underneath it.

If you want to see all levels of a hierarchy assigned to a node, select the node and choose the icon to expand the hierarchy.

You can expand and collapse the tree structure by selecting it and choosing the appropriate icon.

You can also choose a part of the report tree by selecting the appropriate node and choosing Set focus. All nodes, with the exception of the selected node and its subnodes, are hidden.

Using Selection Criteria With Objects

To restrict an object according to specific selection criteria, double–click the selection criteria, or select it and choose Execute.
