Searching for Metadata 

Procedure

  1. In the Metadata Repository choose Search in Metadata Repository.

If you are using the search function for the first time, you must first set up the search index. For this, choose Extras à Metadata Search à Structure Search Index. The search index is structured in the background.
  1. Enter the search term you want.

You can search by the object’s title or technical name. Only a full text search, not a generic search, is possible.

The system searches all the objects in the search index. You can restrict the search to InfoObjects, InfoCubes or queries.

Result

A list appears with the objects found, separated according to active objects in the system (activated objects) and SAP delivery objects in the system (Business Content). The hit lists are sorted by object type/symbol, number and technical name.

You can navigate directly to the individual object information via the hyperlinks of the short text and long text fields as well as the technical name hyperlinks.
