Repository Information System: Start Settings

Defining the user settings

To define your user settings, call the initial screen of the ABAP Repository Information System.

To do this, start the ABAP Development Workbench from the Easy Access Menu by choosing  Tools  ABAP Workbench .

In the ABAP Development Workbench, choose  Overview  Information System .

Setting a start variant

The selection options available to you are determined by the choice of variant. A standard variant is normally set. You can change the standard variant by choosing  Settings  User Parameters  on the initial screen of the ABAP Repository Information System.

A dialog box containing a number of different variants appears. Select the variant you require and choose the Save pushbutton. The selected variant is now adopted as your start variant.

Specifying the maximum number of hits

The maximum number of hits determines the maximum number of objects matching the search criteria that is to be selected. For example, if 100 is entered as the maximum number of hits and you are searching for all tables with names beginning with U, only the first 100 tables matching this selection criterion will be selected. You can change the standard entry for the maximum number of hits.

To do so, on the initial screen of the ABAP Repository Information System, choose  Settings  User Parameters... . A dialog box appears in which you can enter the value you require. Choose Save. Your selection for the maximum number of hits is now adopted as your default setting.
