Because the metadata repository is implemented as an HTTP service, you can call the information on the metadata objects for Business Intelligence in the Web browser of any client using a URL.
The URL for the HTTP service has to be structure according to the following schema:
<Protocol>://<Server>:<Port>/sap/bw/doc/metadata/
For more information, see ICF Services in SAP BI.
By entering certain page parameters you can call up the following pages specifically:
<Protocol>://<Server>:<Port>/sap/bw/doc/metadata/?page=BW_REPOSITORY&SystemID=<SystemIDClient>
An example of <SystemIDClient> is: AB5CLNT003.
If you only want to call up the right frame with the list of object types, use the following page parameter:
<Protocol>://<Server>:<Port>/sap/bw/doc/metadata/?page=BW_O_TYPES&SystemID=<SystemIDClient>
In the Data Warehousing Workbench, navigate to the object, and select F1 help. The Web browser starts in a new window and shows the metadata information for the desired object. Copy the URL from the address field.
The URL starts with: <Protocol>://<Server>:<Port>/sap/bw/doc/metadata/?page=BW_O_D&SystemID=<SystemIDClient>
