Search Task Panel

The Search task panel enables you to locate and import data services required as the sources of information processed in a component, for example, BAPIs, RFCs, Web services, and SAP enterprise services. You can also use the Search task panel to locate existing components to reuse them in your model. You search for the required data service or component, and then drag it onto the Design board from the Search task panel.

When searching for enterprise services, you can search for an operation in a specific enterprise service, or you can search through the entire service repository, filtering by classification to locate the required enterprise service.

The Search task panel contains the following items:

Item	Description
Search in	The system in which you want to search, for example, R3, Web Service, Service Registry, or Visual Composer Models.
Search for	The name of the data service or component that you want to locate. You can use an asterisk (*) in the string as a wildcard to search for a partial match.
Type	The type of data service, for example, Bapi/RFC, WSDL, or Service Registry. You can also choose DC to search for a development component or Model to search for a specific named component. The available types depend on the option you selected in the Search in field.
Advanced Search	Opens the Select Classifications dialog box, in which you can specify additional criteria to fine-tune the search parameters. More information: Select Classifications Dialog Box
Results	Displays the items that match the search criteria. Depending on the search criteria, the Results area may show data services, models, or development component and model hierarchy. You can then drag an item from the Results area onto the Design board for use in your model. The Results area also displays any errors that occur during the search operation.
