Document Structure for MetadataLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

In Knowledge Management, documents for metadata are structured in a hierarchy that is made up of several folders. The documents are assigned to folders on the basis of their properties. The hierarchy tree for the documents contains folders that are only used for structuring purposes and do not contain documents. It also contains folders in which documents are displayed:

  • Folder for the system alias

    If the documents are stored on the BW server, this folder is unnecessary.

  • Folder for metadata (folder without documents)

  • Folder for metadata types such as queries, InfoCubes, Web templates, characteristics and key figures (folder without documents)

  • Folder for specific metadata objects such as the objects for a particular query or a particular InfoCube (folder with documents)

On the first level of the hierarchy under the BW document repository, the folder for the BW system is displayed as the system alias folder if necessary. The folder for the metadata is on the second level.

Folders for metadata types can be displayed under these folders. These folders are used for structuring purposes and do not contain documents. Documents are only displayed on the last level, in the folders for specific metadata objects.
