Search Favorites is a central location in which you can store information about the search items you frequently use. When you discover service interfaces on Solution Composer systems, you can save the information about these services in the local workspace for further reference. At a later stage, you can use the enterprise services in the Search Favorites directly instead of searching for the same services again.

  1. In SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, choose Start of the navigation path Window Next navigation step Show View Next navigation step Other End of the navigation path.

  2. Expand the Search Console folder and choose Search Favorites

Adding Services from a Solution Composer Basket
