Searching in the Where-Used List

Every TLOGO object contains information about which other TLOGO object it uses. In BW search, you can search for the corresponding TLOGO object and/or the dependent TLOGO object.

1. Call BW Search (transaction RSOS_SEARCH) and choose Search Where Used.
2. Formulate your search query.

   • Search for all objects that use a certain object: If you want to search for all objects that use a certain object or a group of objects with the same TLOGO type, you need to make entries in the TLOGO and Object Name fields.

     Note

     If you want to call a list of all objects that use InfoObject 0VC_CUST for example, you need to enter IOBJ in TLOGO Type and 0VC_CUST in Object Name.

   • Search for all objects that are used by a certain object: If you want to search for all objecs that are used by a certain object or a group of objects with the same TLOGO type, choose and enter the details of the object that you want to call the search for in the Superior TLOGO and Superior Object Name fields, under Advanced Options.

     Note

     If you want to call a list of all objects used by InfoObject 0BWVC_C03 for example, you need to enter CUBE in Superior TLOGO and 0BWVC_C03 in Superior Object Name.

   • If you want to further refine your search, choose . This step is optional.
     1. Under Advanced Options, you can refine the search as follows:
        • Objekt Version: You can restrict your search to objects with a certain version. In the default setting, active is selected.
        • Association Type: Certain TLOGO objects use a generic store in order to store the usage of other objects. This includes all TLOGO objects supporting the XREF setting, for example CompositeProviders (TLOGO HCPR) and local CompositeProviders (TLOGO COPR). The system supports various association types (Objects Dependent, Objects Used, Receive Data from, Send Data to, Others). In the default setting, Objects Used is selected.
     2. Under Technical Settings, you can refine the result set.
        • Display Results from <i> to <n>: You can define a range for the result display. From the ensuing result, the system then only displays results that are in the specified range based on their soring sequence. If you do not specify a range, the system will display all results.
        • Activity: You can select an activity (Create Object, Display Object, Change Object, Delete Object). In the default setting, Display Objects is selected.

          If you select an activity here, the system performs the search and checks whether you can perform the required activity for the search results. This only displays objects that you have the corresponding authorization for.

        • Show SQL Statement: The system shows the SQL statement generated before the search query starts.
        • Show Message Log: The system always shows the message log, even if no warnings or errors occur during execution of the search query.
        • Regenerate Views on Errors: If you select this option, the system does not abort immediately if errors occur while calling the result set. The system tries to regenerate all required views in the SAP HANA database instead, so as to be able to execute the search query again. If calling the results fails again regenerating the required views, the process aborts.
        • Bypass Buffer: If you choose this option, the system does not use the application buffer. Note that this can impair performance of the search. To enhance performance, the application otherwise stores data in the buffer. This includes generated SQL strings, processed and corrected user input and information about the required SAP HANA views.
3. To start the search, choose (Search Where Used) or .

   If you have made any settings under Advanced Options, the system hides these as soon the search results are available.

   Once the search is completed, you can call the technical information:

   • If you press , the Display Time Measurements popup appears. This runtime information can be used by SAP for support purposes.
   • If you press , the Log Display popup appears. Provided that the search returns rovides results, any messages displayed during the search are hidden. You can read all messages again here. This is particularly useful if the search returns fewer results than expected, for example because authorizations are required for certain TLOGO objects, and the user does not have these authorizations.

   The system displays the list with the search results in Results. By double-clicking on an object, you can call the display for this object or, if you have selected this, another activity for this object.
