Creating a Search View
Search views are used by the SAP HANA
database to optimize performance when searching. Each search view consists of entities and attributes from the Master Data Governance data model. You can use the Create Search View
application to create search views for your more common searches and reports.
If an existing search view is outdated you can also use this application to update and regenerate it. Regenerating a view overwrites manual modifications to the attribute views made in SAP HANA
but does not overwrite rule set changes.
