Background documentation Document Structure for Metadata  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

In Knowledge Management, documents for metadata are structured in a hierarchy that is made up of several folders. The documents are assigned to folders according to their properties. The hierarchy tree for the documents contains folders that are only used for structuring purposes and do not contain documents, as well as folders in which documents are displayed:

●      Folder for the system alias

Caution If the documents are stored on the BI server, this folder is unnecessary.

●      Folder for metadata (folder without documents)

●      Folder for metadata types such as queries, InfoCubes, Web templates, characteristics, and key figures (folder without documents)

●      Folder for specific metadata objects such as the objects for a particular query or a particular InfoCube (folder with documents)

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

On the first level of the hierarchy under the BI document repository, the folder for the BI system is displayed as the system alias folder if necessary. The folder for the metadata is on the second level.

Folders for metadata types can be displayed under this folder. These folders are used for structuring purposes and do not contain documents. Documents are only displayed on the last level, in the folders for specific metadata objects.
