Description of the Favorites Tree
In the Favorites, the objects that you have transferred from the object trees are displayed.
The data flow for each object in the Favorites is displayed upwards (for DataSources) or downwards (for all other objects). The appropriate context menu is available for the objects.
The following functions are available in the toolbar above the Favorites list:
- Refresh Tree
To refresh the selected tree, choose @42@ -> Refresh tree structure.
To refresh the entire tree, choose @42@ -> Refresh Entire Tree.
- Expand/Collapse Subtree
To expand or collapse a subtree, select the subtree and choose @68@ Expand subtree or @69@ Collapse Subtree. This function is supported on the various levels of the object trees.
- Search for Objects in Tree
To search for an object in a tree, choose @13@ Search. Enter a character string and select search criteria. If the system finds an object whose technical name and/or description contains the character string, the system expands the tree at this position and highlights the objects. If there are several hits, you can use the @4E@ Find Next button to display the objects that have been found one by one.
- Display Data Load Monitor for Objects in the Tree
To display the monitor for load and data transfer processes for a given object, select the object and choose @6P@ Call Monitor for BW Object. With the Control and Shift keys you can also select multiple objects.

- Filter Tree
You can filter the tree according to object status of the BW objects, a certain pattern in technical name or description (e.g. ABC*) and according to object versions being different (modified version isn't equal to active version). Choose @4G@ Filter.
- Hide Tree
If you have opened an application in the right-hand area of the screen, you can exclude an object tree from the display, by choosing @3X@ Hide Tree . The functional areas of the Data Warehousing Workbench remain in the display in the left-hand area of the screen. You can display the tree again by choosing @JG@ Show/Hide Tree Display from the Data Warehousing Workbench toolbar.
- Create Folder
To create a folder for organizing your objects in the Favorites tree, choose @0Y@ Create Folder.
On the creation dialog, the name you enter serves as technical name and despription.
If you have selected a folder in the Favorites tree, you can create a new folder either as sub node or on the same level.
With Drag&Drop you can assign objects to a folder or move folders to another place in the folder hierarchy. From the folder context menu, youcan choose to rename folders or to remove them (with their subfolders and objects) from the Favorites tree.
Note that you can insert an object or a folder only once in the Favorites tree.
- Delete Object from Favorites
To delete an object and the related data-flow objects from the Favorites, choose @ES@ Delete Favorite.
