Displaying Meta Data of R/3 Components
For the generated DCOM proxies you can display meta information
on the respective R/3 components in the DCOM Connector. To allow this display, the system
generates and implements for all R/3 components generated with the Object Builder the ISAPCatalog
interface in addition to the standard interface ISAP<Name of Object Type>.
Thus you can display the meta data of
- generated object types (classes and their interfaces)
- their methods
- parameters and the underlying ABAP Dictionary information.
Prerequisites
The components in question are generated with the Object Builder for the DCOM Connector
of Release 4.5B (or higher). For older versions the ISAPCatalog interface is not
implemented.
Procedure
To display the meta data of a component from the standard screen of the DCOM Connector,
proceed as follows:
- Choose Components or Installed Components.
A list of the installed components appears.
- Choose Schema.
- In the list box Schema select the name space to which the components
belong to restrict the components display. (Usually the name space is identical with the
name of the R/3 target system.)
- Select the desired component with double-click.
A list of all methods for this component and other meta information appears.
- To display parameters and their meta data for a particular method, click on the method.
- To display all ABAP structures and ABAP tables, choose Types.
To display the individual table fields and their Dictionary data, click on the table name.
