Procedure documentationThe Registry Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The registry contains the configuration settings used by clients and the system. The registry is stored in the database and not in the Windows Registry.

A registry entry can have a value associated with it, as well as child registry entries.

Note Note

Registry entries for users should be managed through the options button on the tool-bar. You should not edit or create registry entries unless asked to do so by SAP support.

End of the note.

The registry is part of the Configuration section in the navigation bar. A standard registry tree is shipped with SAP CPS and registry entries for users will automatically be added as users log in.

To view a hierarchy of all registry entries, choose   Configuration → Registry   in the Navigation bar.

Registry entries support the basic actions of New, Edit, Delete, and Refresh.
