Input Search Help and Definition

The Search Help is an element that can be used to implement a value help for an Input control. This provides a list of possible values that the user can enter in the Input field and make a search.

In order to access the Search Helps from SAP ECC in a Central Hub deployment, it is necessary to configure the Backend RFC Destination in the SAP Gateway system using transaction /IQX/FAB_CONFIG → General Configuration. For more information, see General Configuration Details.
