In Customizing for Master Data Governance, enter your specific settings under Start of the navigation path SAP Customizing Implementation Guide Next navigation step Cross-Application Components Next navigation step Master Data Governance Next navigation step General Settings Next navigation step Data Quality and Search Next navigation step Define Search Applications End of the navigation path:

    • Define your search application.

    • Define your access class.

    Note Note

    Your access class must use the standard search interface IF_USMD_SEARCH_DATA (Search for Entities).

    End of the note.

  2. User interface: Use the generic WebDynpro application USMD_ENTITY_SEARCH and launch it with the parameter SEARCH_MODE = your new search application (as defined in step 1).

Optional search indexing
