Uploading Vocabularies into the Vocabulary Repository
Instructions for uploading a vocabulary file into the Vocabulary Repository.
Context
If you want to use customer-specific annotations in addition to core attributes (SAP annotations) when defining data model artifacts in Service Builder projects, you can upload the annotations you require collectively in the form of a vocabulary file into the Vocabulary Repository. The Vocabulary Repository already includes a selection of standard vocabulary files and these are available in the /IWBEP/ namespace. You can import the annotations contained in a vocabulary file into Service Builder projects of type Service with Vocabulary-Based Annotations. After you have imported the relevant vocabulary files into your project, you can use vocabulary-based annotations to define additional information about the artifacts in your data model.
To upload a vocabulary file into the Vocabulary Repository in the Service Builder, proceed as follows:
