In order to use the long text search for BO legacy search object connectors with product version SAP_R/3_4.70, you have to perform the activities in this customizing activity.

To calculate long-text keys from object instance keys, you have to define key-mapping rules.

Example

You can define companies (key=LIFNR BUKRS) for vendors (key=LIFNR). The long-text key is a combination of LIFNR and BUKRS. A long-text key could look as follows: 000010000 4567.

To enable the search for the vendor long-text, you need to create two key-mapping parts for both fields of the object instance key. For the first part, set Rule Part =1 and for the second part, Rule Part =2.

Requirements

Recommendation

Activities

Choose New Entries and create new key-mapping rules for the attributes of the required node in a search object connector template for which you want to use the long-text search.

Specify the following parameters:

  • Software Comp.: Specify the software component of the search object connector template, for example SAP_R/3_4.70. You can find the value in the template modeler.
  • Model: In earlier releases, this entry was used as a characteristic for software components. However, you must enter the value STANDARD for compatibility reasons.
  • Object Type: Specify the object type, for example CUSTOMER. The object type is the data model of a business object for the search. Together with the software component, the object type forms the search object connector template. You can find the value in the template modeler.
  • Node Name: Specify the name of the node for which you want to define the key-mapping rule. In most cases, you specify the root node here. You can find the value in the template modeler.
  • Rule Part: In this field, specify the position of this element in the rule. If it is in the first position or a single value, enter 1. If it is in the second position, enter 2.

The key-mapping rule comprises the following parameters:

  • Rule Term: Specify the content of the rule. In most cases, this is the ID of the required attribute in the selected node, for example MATNR. However, you can also use a constant, for example '+' or '&'. If the object type consists of more than one element, you must define a separate key-mapping rule for each element and specify the sequence in the Rule Part field.
  • Is Field: Select this field if the rule part is a node field. If you are using a constant for this rule, do not select the field.
