Definition

Use

All the objects of a certain type are indexed and searched in the search engine under a certain index ID.

Example

All business partners (business object "bus1006") of type 1 = Person are indexed and searched in the search engine under the index ID "ses:xyz_001_bus1006____1".

As you can see from this example, the index name contains other components in addition to the business object and object type:

  • Namespace
    As well as the search engine service, other search applications can also run in one search engine. Therefore, the indexes of the search engine service (SES) are delimited with the namespace "ses:".
  • System Landscape Description
    Since multiple SAP systems with multiple clients can be indexed in one search engine, the "System Landscape Despription" must be a name component of each index. In this example, "xyz_001" stands for the client 001 in an SAP system with the name "xyz".

Dependencies

To ensure that the above naming convention is adhered to, the index IDs are generated by the system and cannot be maintained directly.

Since the index IDs contain system names and client numbers, it does not make sense to transport them with Customizing transports. Therefore, the index ID is set automatically when an index is created or activated in the administration UI of the search engine service (transaction SES_ADMIN).
