Using the SAP Assistant 

Procedure

  1. Start the SAP Assistant program.
  2. Choose Logon Online. The R/3 Logon dialog appears.
  3. If no destination system name is listed at the Destination field of the R/3 Logon dialog, set up a destination definition for all the R/3 systems you wish to log onto. You must define at least one destination to log onto.
  4. Log onto the R/3 System you wish to use.
  5. The SAP Assistant displays metadata of business objects in an application hierarchy view.

    6. You can change the view to show any of the other three views (RFC functions, for example).

    If you change to one of the RFC views, we recommend that you set up a filter. Using no filter when browsing RFCs results in thousands of RFCs, which can take a long time to appear in the browser window.

  6. Browse business objects or RFC functions in the BAPI or RFC tab.
  7. If you wish to save all or some of the data into a local repository, that is, if you wish to be able to access this same data next time from a database file on your hard disk, mark and save the data.
  8. Exit the SAP Assistant program.
