You use Repository Information System to search for objects in the R/3 System. You can use the repository to locate objects that match particular criteria. To access the R/3 Repository Information System from the ABAP Workbench, choose Environment ® Repository Infosys.

The initial screen of the Repository displays a hierarchical list of all the different types of objects in your R/3 System.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

The object categories in the R/3 System are modeling objects ABAP Dictionary objects, programming objects and environment objects.

The Selecting Objects in Lists section describes in more detail how to work with the lists in the Repository Information System.

For example, a domain that matches specific requirements for an application you are writing. To search for an object, do the following:

  1. Open the Repository Information System.
  2. Select an object category.
  3. Choose Find.
  4. The contents of the search screen depend on the object category. By default, the system displays the object's standard selection fields.
  5. Enter search values and choose Execute.

The system displays the matches. By default, the system displays the basic view. However, you can display an overall view by choosing Combined list. In the Settings group box in the bottom part of the search screen, you can enter the maximum number of hits in the Max. Hits field. Standardmäßig werden bei der Suche sowohl SAP- als auch Kundenobjekte berücksichtigt.

To list the variants available for an object, choose Get variant. To save your current search criteria as a variant, enter the criteria and choose Goto ® Variant ® Save as variant.

Customizing Selection Values

For details on using this function, see Where-used Lists.
