There are two different ways of searching for terms in SAPterm

This is a simple search method where the system looks though the table keys of the terminology database. These table keys are stored in uppercase, which means that the search is not case-sensitive, and does not consider special characters.

This search method enables you to define further criteria, for example, if you only want to search for terms within a specific application component, or terms created by a specific user. This search is case-sensitive, and can distinguish special characters.

Prerequisites

You must enter a term.

The terminology database supports generic searches with "*".

Note

For performance reasons, a general search with only "*" is not possible when searching from the initial screen of SAPterm.

Procedure

Finding Terms from the Initial Screen

  1. Call up transaction STERM.
  1. Enter the term that you want to find and choose Find.

Finding Terms Using Selection Options

  1. Call up transaction STERM.
  2. Choose Selection options.
  3. The SAPterm: General Selection Criteria for Searches screen appears.

  4. Enter the selection criteria that you require and choose Execute.
