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:
