Standard cases
In all the files we use IDs for entities and Field/InfoObjects.
The ID includes the object type in every case. A list with all object types can be found here.
Entities
For entities the IDs are a combination of the SAP internal identifier, a separator “|”, and the entity type.
...
BW Query: 00O2TFIS8KH7TIIRUUIONW8BZ|REP (00O2TFIS8KH7TIIRUUIONW8BZ is the UID and SAP internal identifier)
CompositeProvider: /IMO/V_FIGL03|HCPR
Calculated Key Figure: 18GYMPC6EXPPMBD8WHA5HY6TD|CKF (18GYMPC6EXPPMBD8WHA5HY6TD is the UID and SAP internal identifier)
Fields/InfoObjects
For Fields/InfoObjects and Elements (locale Formulas, local Selection, Restricted and Calculated Key Figures) the IDs are a combination of the SAP internal identifier of the Field/InfoObject, a separator “|”, and the parent entity ID.

Exceptions
DataSources
For DataSources we have another identifier, the logical system. This identifier is written in the second place. The same is done for fields of DataSources, where the logical system is in the third place.

Field of DataSource: EBELN|Z_2LIS_02_HDR|BW4CDS|RSDS
Fields of Open ODS Views
Open ODS Views can contain one or two so-called semantics. The semantics can contain the same fields. So we have to distinguish between the semantics (there are 3 different types - F, M, and T). For that reason we inserted a semantics identifier in the second place:

Navigation Attributes
In some places, you will find navigation attributes that are written in a special way. The navigation attribute can be found in the second place.
That logic is needed because their description can be overwritten in multiple places in SAP.

In Open ODS Views you can find Navigation Attributes in the form of
