Navigation Area (Integration Repository) 

Use

You can do the following in the navigation area:

●     Display all objects in the Integration Repository in a tree structure (Objects tab page)

●     Display change lists for all objects in the Integration Repository (Change Lists tab page)

●     Display version conflicts, which arise when importing and exporting objects (Conflicts tab page)

For more information, see: Conflicts when Importing Objects.

Position the cursor on an object in the navigation tree to display a quick-info box, which contains the object type, name, and namespace.

Tree Structure on the Objects Tab Page

On this tab page, the objects are grouped hierarchically by the software component, software component version, and namespace.

Only those software components are displayed that were previously imported. For more information, see Importing Software Component Versions.

An extra hierarchy level is added under the namespace, which enables you to group the objects according to their meaning.

The following categories exist:

●     Integration scenarios and integration processes

Contains the object types

○     Integration scenario (see Designing Integration Scenarios)

○     Action (see Designing Integration Scenarios)

○     Integration Process

●     Interface Objects (see: Designing Interfaces)

Contains the object types

○     Message Interface

○     Message type

○     Fault Message Type

○     Data type

○     Data Type Enhancement

○     External Definition

○     Context Object

●     Mapping Objects (see: Designing Mappings)

Contain the object types

○     Interface mapping

○     Message mapping

○     Mapping template

○     Imported Archive

●     Adapter objects

Contain the object types

○     Adapter metadata

○     Communication Channel Template

Imported objects (RFCs and IDocs) are displayed independently of the namespace.

Note that imported objects are displayed only if you specify that interfaces be imported from SAP systems for the appropriate software component version. This is the case if the checkbox Interfaces from SAP Systems is selected in the Display/Edit Software Component Versions editor.

If the displayed software component version is based on another software component version, the objects of the underlying software component version are displayed in the Basis Objects subtree.
