Procedure documentationDefining Input Help for Technical Objects

 

To search for technical objects, when creating notifications, for example, input help is available to you. The embedded search of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search is integrated in this input help.

In the standard system, the system searches for equipment and functional locations. However, you can change the searchable objects by using the additional attribute Technical Object Type. For more information, see Adding New Searchable Objects.

Prerequisites

  • You have defined the necessary settings in the Enterprise Search Administration Cockpit.

    You define the settings in Customizing for SAP NetWeaver under Start of the navigation path Search and Operational Analytics Next navigation step SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search Next navigation step Modeling, Administration, and Monitoring Next navigation step Open Administration Cockpit End of the navigation path.

  • You have defined the basic settings for the UI technology (for example, portal address). To do this, in the Administration Cockpit choose Start of the navigation path System Settings Next navigation step Maintain UI Technologies End of the navigation path.

  • You have created search object connectors for the search object templates equipment EAMS_EQUI and functional location EAMS_BUS0010, which are supplied as standard.

  • You have defined an index update.

    You can either schedule regular indexing or run indexing in real-time. To do this, in the Administration Cockpit select the connectors for the search object templates EAMS_EQUI and EAMS_BUS0010 and choose Schedules.

    The search object connectors for the search object templates equipment EAMS_EQUI and functional location EAMS_BUS0010 are standard for the Maintenance Worker role. If these search object connectors are inactive, the system uses the search object connectors for the search object templates equipment EQUI and functional location BUS0010.
