SAP R/3 Data Model Explorer Page
Use the
SAP R/3 Data Model Explorer page to display a tree view of data models
that you pre-extracted from the SAP R/3 System. The SAP_DM SAP data
model is at the top of the tree view, and the subordinate data models
branch from it. End nodes on the tree view are entities. Each entity
type can contain one or more tables. The SAP R/3 Data Model Explorer
page enables you to browse through a structured data model view of
your SAP R/3 tables to identify which tables contain the source data
that you want to use in SAS Data Integration Studio.
The SAP
R/3 Data Model Explorer page contains the following items:
displays the Search for String dialog box, which you can use to specify a text string for which
you want to search and search all tables in the SAP Data
Model Explorer list for that text string. If the search
string is found, the first table containing that string is highlighted
in the SAP Data Model Explorer list.
searches for the next
occurrence of the search string that you specified when you clicked Find Text. If the search string is found in any of the
tables listed in the SAP Data Model Explorer list, then the next table that contains the text is highlighted.
This button is disabled until you specify a search string in the Search for String dialog box.
displays the Displaying Metadata for SAP R/3
Table dialog box, which you can use to view metadata
for a table that you selected in the SAP R/3 Data Model Explorer page.
Table metadata includes information such as the field name, field
text, the field format, and so on.
displays the Displaying Contents of SAP R/3
Table dialog box, which you can use to view the data
in the table that you selected in the SAP R/3 Data Model Explorer
page.
