 Query Areas

Definition

A query area contains a set of query objects (queries, InfoSets, and user groups) that are discrete and consistent.

There are the following query areas:

  • Standard area

  • Global area

Both query areas provide you with a full range SAP Query functions.

Use

Each of the query areas is used in a different way:

Query Area

Use

Standard area

The standard query area is intended primarily for use with ad-hoc queries, that is for queries that are created for a specific one-off purpose and never used again.

Queries in the standard area are client-specific.

There is no connection to the Workbench Organizer.

Global area

In the global area queries are created not only for use in a single system, but also for transporting to other systems.

The queries in the global area are therefore client-independent.

Query objects created in the global area are registered in the Workbench Organizer. They are created and transported using the normal correction and transport procedure.

Note Note

All the query objects delivered by SAP are located in the global area. You distinguish between objects that are delivered by SAP and customer objects by referring to the name prefixes of the objects. See Query Areas .
