Search Help 

Use

Search help can be used in multiple locations in the Integration Builder. This section describes the properties of the search help that apply to both design and configuration objects.

Features

You can use search help in the following instances:

·        In the Create a New Object dialog

·        In the object editors

You can call search help by clicking the  icon.

Design Objects

·        Creating design objects

Search help for namespaces and software component versions is available here. It displays a navigation tree with all software component versions and namespaces.

¡        Selecting a software component version restricts the selection of the namespace to this software component version.

¡        Selecting a namespace defines the software component version.

If you call up the function Create New Object in the context menu of the Integration Builder navigation area, then the namespace (and software component version) is already entered (see Creating a New Object).

·        Other search helps in the object editors

¡        Search help for interfaces: This search help displays a navigation tree in which you can select a message interface. You see only a section of the navigation tree, according to the context in which you call the search help.

If you call the search help for message interfaces in the action editor, then only message interfaces (and not the other design objects) are displayed in the search help navigation tree. If the action belongs to an application component of type Product, then the selection of message interfaces is restricted to the software component version to which the action belongs. This is because in this case the action and the message interface must be located in the same software component version.

If you call the search help for message types in the editor for a message interface, then the software component version is already selected.

¡        If a namespace is already specified (from the context), only a list of objects (for example, interface objects with name and namespace) is displayed.

Configuration Objects

·        Creating configuration objects

When you create configuration objects, you can use a search help in the dialog Create New Object for the following fields:

¡        Business System

You can select a business system from a list. All business systems that are defined in the System Landscape Directory are displayed.

¡        Interface (Name and Namespace)

You must first select a business system before you can call the search help for interfaces.

The software component version of the interface is only defined once you have selected a business system.

In the Select Interfaces dialog you can choose whether to restrict the selection of interfaces to the selected business system, or whether to display all interfaces. Select a radio button accordingly.

If, in the Create New Object dialog, you predefine the Interface Name field or the Interface Namespace field, then you can restrict the selection in the search help to a particular character string.

For example, by entering Acc* for the interface name you restrict the selection to all interfaces whose names begin with the string Acc. The selection conditions are displayed in the frame Search Criteria in the Select Interfaces dialog.

The name, namespace, software component version, direction (inbound/outbound), and mode (synchronous/asynchronous) are displayed in a table for each interface.

¡        When you create a receiver determination, you can select the business scenario name from a list.

·        The object editors include search helps for the following objects:

¡        Search help for business system (for receiver determination)

¡        Search help for interface (for receiver determination and interface determination) and interface mapping (for interface determination)
