Open Document Browser (SAP Library - Business Intelligence)

Open Document Browser

Use

Using the Open Document Browser command (OPEN_DIALOG_DLG_DOC_BROWSER), you can open the document browser, which displays the list of documents for InfoProviders, master data or metadata.

Note This command is particularly useful if you do not use the List of Documents Web item in your Web application. You can assign this command to a pushbutton. When you choose this pushbutton, the dialog box for the document browser opens that displays the documents that you can select.
