Searching & Browsing Service Definitions 

Use

This procedure enables you to find service definitions in the Services Registry. The search is based on classification groups and the physical systems where these services are located. If you already know the classification of the service you are looking for you can browse through it in order to find the service.

Prerequisites

The Services Registry has been configured.  

More information: Configuring the Services Registry.

Searching for Service Definitions

       3.      If you know the name of the service definition you are looking for, enter it on the Search tab under Find and choose Go.

If you do not know the exact name of the service definition, you can use wildcards to substitute part of the name. The possible wildcards are: asterisk (*) – use this when you want to substitute any number of characters; question mark (?) – use this when you want to substitute only one character.

If you use an asterisk only, the search will return all service definitions available.

○       You can also use the following search criteria:

■       WSDL Porttype Name

■       Internal Name - Service definition name or technical name (in ABAP)

■       Free Text - Search by any text using TREX

○       Select a physical system where you want to perform the search.

○       Select the service State for the service you are looking for:

■       Modeled

The service is modeled in the Enterprise Services Repository or in an Application Server system and does not have endpoints.

■       Activated/Deployed

■       Configured
