Global Count of Object and Attribute Recommendations

This is one of the data gathering methodologies and recommendations for base setup improvement. The full list is defined in the Base Setup Recommendations topic here.

Note: These recommendations are valid for systems without In-Memory. The performance costs are different with In-Memory. For more information, refer to the In-Memory Database Component for STEP section of the Resource Materials in online help here.

From the Start page, click the About STEP link, and log in to display counts of a variety of objects.

Additionally, the following are examples of using search to count the number of objects in STEP. The search displays the total number of results found.

An example is included for the following types of counts:

  • Products
  • Products by object type
  • Entities
  • Entities by object type
  • Assets
  • Attributes

Count the number of products

Search criteria: 'Object Type = Product' and 'Search Below = Primary Product Hierarchy'

Count the number of products by object type

Search criteria: 'Object Type = [Product Object Type]' and 'Search Below = Primary Product Hierarchy'

Count the number entities

Search criteria: 'Object Type = Entity' and 'Search Below = Entity Hierarchy Root'

Count the number entities by object type

Search criteria: 'Object Type = [Entity Object Type]' and 'Search Below = Entity Hierarchy Root'

Count the number of assets

Search criteria: 'Object Type = Asset'

Count the number of attributes

Search criteria: 'Object Type = Attribute' and 'Search Below = Attribute Groups'
