Where do we specify Report category in HR Adhoc query

Hi All.
We have a standard query which shows a selection screen which is different in Production. When I went into the program behind the query and saw the report category, it is different in both the environments.
I am not able to find where do we specify report category in the HR adhoc query.
Can anyone please guide?
Also, how is this possible that a standard report has different report category in Development and production env. ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
There is no place in query, to maintain report category. Whenever an query is created, this table gets updated with default report category depending upon the LDB used. Now if you want to change this default screen to some other screen, then this is the only table where you can change the report category for that query or program.
According to me, you have to maintain this table only, if you want different report category, since there is no place in query where you can do this.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sarika.

Where can I specify search specification for a BIP report?

Hi,
We are on 8.0.0.9 and integrated BIP with it. We converted Actuate reports to BIP reports. In actuate, we can specify what data to bring in to the report by using a search specification. In a BIP report, where can I specify the search specification? Is it in the integration object or in the application? We have a lot of reports that fetch data based on the child BCs using EXISTS query. How do we do the same thing in BIP?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

If you want the flexibility of passing different data into the report you keep it the way you have it now and train users, e.g., run a PDQ first.
For the scenario you just described where the report parameters seem to be consistent and you want to avoid user selection I would either build the report using the reports business service or build it directly in BI Publisher. I almost consistently use the reports business service now but if you asked me a year ago I would not have given the same answer. I suspect the reason I have changed is related to recently working with BIP dedicated to Siebel whereas in past projects I may have had a mix of Siebel/OBI/other data sources.
The reports business service is quite simple to implement in workflow and the search specification you pass in is as a method argument, Bookmark.
I suggest you read:
Siebel BI Publisher 8 Reports Business Service [ID 823360.1]
There is also a document called Siebel BI Publisher Integration Concepts which while not entirely valid since it was written before Siebel built their own button is a useful reference to understand where things happen. (Note, Siebel patch 8.1.1.5 moves things on again and I am not impressed with the white paper supporting that).
There are also a decent references in blogs out on the internet regarding this, including ones from regular contributers to this forum (mroshaw for example) and one I referenced a lot myself wrote by a Dutch guy but I don't have the address to hand.

Selection-screen using HR report category

Hi friends,
I have a developed HR report using PNP ldb in which i have used the HR report category to specify my selection-screen.But still my requirment is not getting fullfiled.I require 1)Company Code
2)Payroll Period selection block also.
But even if i dont enter value in this payroll area it should excecute.As of now it throws an error message saying "No valid payroll area specified"
I want to generate report for any month given in other period of the payroll Area wrt company code.

As per your question, remember that, the period will be different for each and every Payroll area.May be same period will behave differenly like weekly, monthly, semi-monthly.. with different payroll area.
So the parameter payroll area will always be mandatory..

Out of these, we know few symbol type like 2.Specification,3.Parameter,.........
But what about the other Report Symbol Types ? How they can be used & Where..?
Regarding, 16.Comments: Can this symbol type can be used to fulfill the purpose asked here,http://scn.sap.com/thread/3334515 ?
Thanks & Regards
Subash Sankar

Dear Subash
I checked this topic again. I have some interesting information. Later on I am planning to prepare a new document. Therefore: thanks for asking the question; it was very interesting to find some answers and to drill down in WWI process (which is quite complex).
Ok: The values you have mentioned are part of a domain in SAP (check report symbol table of EHS using transaction se11). If you generate a "where used list" you will find some Includes. One is related to "Constants" and in one other the "Constants" are used (here in a Form routine)
Therefore comming back to your list:
Phrase
Specification
Parameter
Descriptor
Standard Repeating Group
Special Repeating Group
Blank Compression Group
Optimized Repeating Group
IF Repeating Group
Template
Version Information
Language Information
Language Switch
Generation Date
Control Command
Comments
Any of these report types does have a "linked" value. Now it is interesting to detect that this value is used as "part" of the report symbol. You can check this by investigating table "ESTLS".
Example: if you check SAP online help regarding e.g."Repeating group" and an example you find this one:
<11BRG001(M,SAP_EHS_1015_003;1-3)>
<01G1015003AD(P;1)>
<11ERG001>
Now the value "11" is the value as part if the domain relating to "Standard Repeating Group".
The topic is explained a littel bit here:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/a7/2874e50a6c11d28a220000e829fbbd/content.htm?frameset=/en/c1/eda0f591ec12408b25e7a1b369ca45/frameset.htm
Chapter "Editing Descriptor Symbols"
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/6a/8ef2639f214475aebe63d8c6c6ae3c/content.htm
shows an example of thge "IF" type like:<15BIF006(AND:01EHS_ICREPV NE "NON")>
Therefore the value of "IF Repeating Group" = 15 (refer to content of the domain)
If you check the entries of ESTLS you can detect which report does have which report symbol and report symbol type and you can therefore detect which report symbol types are used and which are not.
Actually the type:
Comments
is not supported by SAP (therefore If my debug result is correct: even if you try to generate a report symbol with "link" tothis value; you wil not recieve a result). But in a parallel thread this topic has been discussed. So we can hope/assume that may be SAP will deliver something.
I am sorry to say that I will take some time to "drill" deeper. But if I am finished I plan to share the result.
C.B.
PS: The "value" for "Template" = 20 => if you check ESTLS, WWI etc. This value is used to "include" a WWI layout within a WWI layout; check e.g.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/4b/c5874174a8050de10000000a1550b0/content.htm?frameset=/en/a7/2871f60a6c11d28a220000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
and then chapter: Inclusion of Document Templates:value: <20INCLUDE("Test",01,SBV)>

HR Report Category - Change a Deault Value

Hi Forums!
I have a requirement to change a value on a HR Report category to the Field 'Employment Status'
It is using this report category 9CUST03 and on screen Employment status is showing up with a '0' in the field
The requirement is to remove the default '0'
I have checked the initialization of the program and in the report category as well where can I find this value being populated?
PNPSTAT2
thanks
Edited by: Keith Warnock on Dec 13, 2010 10:42 PM

Hi,
    Your report might be using a default variant with 'Employment Status' filled with 0.
    In your program write coding to refresh the contents of this field.
    Initialization.
    refresh PNPSTAT2.

Hi Neetu,
Do you wish that at all customer site all concern involved in implemtation do the same work ?
I believe ERP is meant for single entry system, and it should be true for implementation also, why to invest man hours for the same task ?
I expect it standard reports should be released by SAP, so that speed of implementation improve, we have more nos. of satisfied customers.
customised reports is all together different and it is understood that it is needed to be developed after study the exact requirement.

Help me about the Report Category !!

In a ABAP report program's "Attributes", we can set the Logical database (eg. in HR, it's PNP) , and then, we can select the "HR report category", for the report screen category setting. After we set the Master Data(infotypes), we will get the report with several pushbuttons in the first line, like Further Selections "Sort order" ...
So, my question is if I want to add some items into the "Sort Order" selection screen, how to do that ?
Thanks a lot
Tom

Hi Tom,
You can create the report category from SE38-> Attributes and then give the LDB name as PNP.
Now click on the HR report category button and proceed creating the new report category by clicking the create button.
The report category name should start with 0* or 7*.
Hope this helps you,
Regards,
Subbu.

Creating new report category in Abap HR

When I try and create a new custom report category, I get a message saying "Choose the key from the allowed namespace". I did use a Z report category (we do have Z report categories that have been created earlier by somebody else). It would be great if somebody could list the steps to create a new report category. By the way, I would just want to keep just the personnel number (PNPPERNR) in the selection option.
I did try using SM30 to create a new entry but got the same message as above.
Thanks.
