Graphics: Calls

From the Data Modeler

From the Data Modeler you can access the graphics as follows:

• From the data model definition

  On the Data Modeler: Initial Screen, select the modeling object Data Model, enter the name of a data model, and choose either Display or Change. On the definition screen for the data model, choose  Utilities  Graphics . Wait until the graphic has been fully generated. The data model is then displayed graphically (along with all submodels).

  If you called the graphics in maintain mode, the graphic will also be displayed in maintain mode.

• From the data model hierarchy

  On the Data Modeler: Initial Screen, select the modeling object Data Model Hierarchy, enter the name of a data model, and choose either Display or Change. The hierarchy list is displayed. From this list select all data models and entity types you want to include in the graphic.

  Use the function Select/Deselect Subtree on data models in the hierarchy list to select all dependent objects for loading into the graphic. If you want to omit individual objects from a selected subtree from the graphic, you can deselect these objects with Select/Deselect Node.

  To start the graphics, choose  Utilities  Graphics  in the hierarchy list. Wait until the graphic has been fully generated. All the data models and entity types in the hierarchy list that were selected are displayed in the form of a graphic.

  If you called the graphics in maintain mode, the graphic will also be displayed in maintain mode.

• From the entity type definition

  On the Data Modeler: Initial Screen, select the modeling object Entity Type, enter the name of an entity type, and choose either Display or Change. The definition of the entity type appears.

  Choose  Utilities  Graphics  to branch to the graphics. The entity type is then displayed in the display area of the graphics window.

From the Object Browser of the ABAP Development Workbench

Starting from the Easy Access Menu, choose  Tools  ABAP Workbench .

From the Object Browser of the ABAP Development Workbench you can access the definition screen for a data model or the hierarchy list. From there, you can call the graphical display with the Graphics function. When you access the graphics from the Object Browser, they are displayed initially in display mode.

From the ABAP Repository Information System

Starting from the SAP Menu, choose  Tools  ABAP Development Workbench .

In the ABAP Development Workbench, choose  Overview  Information System .

Using the ABAP Repository Information System you can search for data models or entity types. A list of data models or entity types is displayed. Select the data models or entity types you require from the list and then choose  Utilities  Graphics . Wait until the graphic has been fully generated. The selected data models or entity types are displayed in the graphic.
