1. Metadata Provider

Metadata Provider

In the big data era, enterprises are collecting and storing more data than ever before. Metadata Provider tells the data processing layer of a library which metadata fields (types) they can extract. In Skyvva,Istructure repository is stored in metadata. Basically metadata provider is use for grouping. This metadata includes important object properties and their relationships with other objects. Lets take an example of SAP So right here sap is a metadata Name. If we are talking about the other organisation like Google, Salesforce and many all,they provides metadata api.

In the picture, we can see the hierarchical repository where different level are organise hierarchically. We can build a hierarchical structure of the repository. And in the table, we can see the example of the type and Hierarchical repository objects. Different API organise in the single repository. There are some Repository Object like BAPI, IDOC, and Enterprise Service with type Folder.

Types Hierarchical repository objects

BAPI

BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2
BAPI_CREATE_DIPS_EXT
BAPI_0036_GET_DETAIL

IDOC

In the Repository, we have a message type. Message Type uses to represent the hierarchical structure of the Repository. For example, a service using Webservice. Message Type can be used to describe its request and response. In Skyvva, when we create metadata, the Name field is an only mandatory field. On MetaData the Name cannot be duplicated. Metadata Provider screen looks like as shown in the picture given below:-
