What is SAP Repository Information System

SAP Repository Information System or The Repository is used as a tool to search for objects in the databaseobjects such as tables, views, fields, and domains. You access the Repository from the ABAP Workbench by executing transaction code /nSE84. The initial screen of the Repository Information System is shown in Figure 17.13.

The main function of the Repository is to serve as a comprehensive cross-reference tool that enables a system developer to research SAP’s development objects. In simpler terms, it serves as a technical encyclopedia for developers. As such, this tool is primarily used by your technical team to make requests like the following:

- Search by an object’s attributes For example, show me a list of objects that contain A but not B.
- Research relationships between tables For example, show me the foreign key and check tables for table A.
- Data review For example, show me all the data records in Table A that have attribute B.
- Modified objects For example, show me all objects modified by user John Turner since last Thursday.
- Where-used lists For example, show me all objects of type A that use objects of type B
