In SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, you can use Search Console to integrate various components, such as RFCs (Remote Function Calls) or Enterprise Services, into a Visual Composer model.

The following section describes how to use Search Console to search for an RFC or an Enterprise Service component, and is followed by instructions on how to integrate each component type into a Visual Composer model.

Procedure

Searching for an RFC or an Enterprise Service Using Search Console

  1. Choose   Window   Show View   Search Console  .

    The Search Console view opens.

  2. In the Search for dropdown list, select the type of service to search for, either RFC or Enterprise Service.

  3. In the Search in area, select the system in which to perform the search, such as an R/3 system for RFCs or Solution Composer for enterprise services.

  4. In the Find field, you can limit the search results by entering a filter for the name of the service for which to search. The filter can include wildcards (*).

  5. In the Group by dropdown list, select the way in which to group the results; for example: Flat list.

  6. Choose Search.

For more information about Search Console, see Browsing Services in Search Console.

Integrating an RFC into a Visual Composer Model

  • In Search Console, from the RFC search results, drag the desired RFC and drop it into your Visual Composer model.

Integrating an Enterprise Service into a Visual Composer Model

  1. In Search Console, from the Enterprise Services search results, select the desired component.

  2. In the Properties view, select Endpoints.

  3. Drag the desired endpoint and drop it into your Visual Composer model.

Note Note

A system alias is automatically created for each component. You may need to use the system alias at design time, for example, when mapping the Enterprise Service to a Service Group. For more information, see Enabling the Service Group in Visual Composer.

The system alias is displayed in the Configure task panel, under   Target Component   System alias  , and has the following format:

<host name><port type name><operation name>
