Report vs Interface

what is the difference between a interface and report? Is that interface is nuthing but a report with shcedule to pick up the file generated by external system with destination defined for it? Or it is some thing else???
Cheers

You are correct in a way but they are meant to work in different business scenarios.
Interfaces are used to pick a file from an ext location / data from sap and put it in SAP / ext location after doing some field mapping.
Reports are generaly used to pick up data from the SAP tables as per the parameters on the selection screen and display output in ALVs. Business functionality of reports is for Higher level managment reporting.
Hope this solves your query, please mark this question answered and reward appropriate points.

Report with interface

There is a report needed which will be started with a variant by a job.
Reportname: ZRF_INT_SPOOL_SEND
That report is supposed to copy each day the lists of several interfaces from
the spool into a file and to send this file as an attachment by email.
Parameters of this report are:
- interface numbers(several!)
- mail addresses of the receivers
This report finds the spoolnumbers of the lists, which were created by the interfaces run.
The spool numbers are found in the table TSP01.
With the help of these spool numbers the lists can be read in the spool and copied into a file.
The report sends this file as an attachment by email to the receivers.
If the report finds no list for an interface on this day, an error message has to be sent by that email.
In the field subject of the emails the text SIXSIGMA is required.
The spool numbers are found in the table TSP01. The fields RQTITLE and RQTIME are key.
The functional module RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB
can be used. It reads with import parameter spool number a list from the spool into an internal table.
For sending an email e.g. the functional module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 can be used.
how to start the coding with this
can you send me the code to proceed further

have a look at http://www.thespot4sap.com/Articles/SAP_Mail_SO_Object_Send.asp

Require Project Management Base tables names , reports and Interfaces

Hi Group ,
This is azamtulla Khan ,I am new to oracle projects and i dont have idea on it.I dont know its shotname also .
If any body send base tables name , reports and Interfaces for the same it will be grate to me.
Thanks in Advance.

Azamtulla,
I recommend you look at the Applications Documentation (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/applications.html) web site. Just pick your Applications (EBS) version and scroll til you find the Projects Resource Management link. Another option would be to visit the Oracle ETRM web site (http://etrm.oracle.com/pls/etrm/etrm_search.search).
Hope this helps.

FIM Out of the box Reporting - web interface

Hi,
My customer is using standard FIM 2010 R2 reporting. They want to give access to reports to some users without installing SCSM console. Is there any way to give web access (web interface) to these reports?
Borys Majewski, Identity Management Solutions Architect (Blog: IDArchitect.NET)

You could use SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). It should already be up and running in their environment as part of the FIM 2010 R2 reporting installation. Security in SSRS can be based on AD group membership.
You might have to look into what the actual SSRS data sources are using for credentials. If they are impersonating the user executing the report, then the user may not have access to the data.
Thanks,
Mark

LMS Interface reports ( Polling Interface Descriptions)

Hi, is it possible to poll interface descriptions when creating interface reports e.g. ( Utilization, Availability, Errors), current reports are useless because it just gives me interface number for example of ( Switch A), so I'm always asked to manually add descriptions which is horrible.
Version: 4.2
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

unfortunately it is not possible :(
I don't see any option to do that...
Thanks-

Report Writer Interface RGGD1300

Has anyone used this report to alter GR55 output? I need to take the configured output and further define selection criteria (filter that can't be done in variables/formula due to the set definition) and move some rows into different sections. When I try to add a variant to RGGD1300, it short dumps. When I add the report as a call program it works but the output is line by line without the configured subtotals...

Shiv,
You could create a SAP query using table FAGLFLEXA, which includes the lines items you may looking for. Then instead of adding a Report group to your exsiting Library you could add as other report type this new SAP Query.
Hope this helps if so please award the points.

Report user interface

Hi all,
we have a option in menu bar to specific task in standard report.now user wants this option in application bar as push button.
if i include this "Menu bar Fcode" in application bar, will it work the same with out modifying any code.
is there any way to initiate the function code from abap program.
Regards, sri

hi,
You can assign you new Function codes in Application toolbar
by creating SE41.
There an Application toolbar give the name of your function and assign Function code to it .
Save -Check - Activate .
Your user defined application you can see in your output.
Before that you have to assign in the report .
If the normal report .
(at event)
Start-of-selection.
set pf-status 'ZMENU'.
If it is module Pool report .
Process before output.
set pf-status 'ZMENU'.
Process after report.
case sy-ucomm.
Example : (think in application tool bar if you have given EXIT,SAVE as Function
codes).
when 'EXIT'.
Leave program.
when 'SAVE'.
Modify ztable from wa_table.
endcase.
This is the way you can create menu bar according to the customer requirement.

Madhavi

3.3EA1 Issues with report generator interfaces

Trying to build out a few reports in the EA version and noticing a few issues:
1. When you first launch the report wizard the template drop down and manage button are greyed out. If you click another option from the available reports tab then they become active.
2. If I pick a Template, then select a Report Configuration, the Template gets blanked out and disappears from the drop down list. So I can't use a report configuration (having selected a few sub views or specific tables) and a custom template? I have to exit the report builder and re-enter to get the Template drop down to re-appear.
Thanks.

Hi Kent,
We saw this bug and it's already fixed.

Web reporting -- Table interface --Sorting table

Hi.
We want to display an extremely complex query in the Web, which returns about 40.000 rows.
Our users are however only interested in the fifteen 'Overall result'-rows of this query. Therefore we try to find a possibility to suppress all the 'normal' data rows.
I have an idea, where in the Table Interface would like to try to "mark" these 15 rows each with a unique number (from 1..15, in an added column in my table). I would then want to sort this table according to my new column, thus giving me a table that first displays these 15 rows. Now I can set in the WAD: Display the first 15 rows.
Is this achievable? Could anyone provide coding examples that could help me do this?
Thank you,
Jon

Jon,
I do not think that would be possible. The table interface is something like a line by line interpreter which interprets the data coming and converts it to HTML.
Hence for you to be able to mark the result rows would mean that the whole query of 40,000 rows has to be rendered.
Another option is to use a prequery to retrieve the result rows , and if you display only the result rows of the query , will your purpose be satisfied ?

Edit function removed from SE16N transaction, reports and interface FM

I give it 3 years before work programs are updated...

I think the whole story is too long to fit into a 2500 character post..
The function should have the strictest check which the system has to offer. Which is 01 DEBUG. But in this case checking the object name is not possible, so 02 DEBUG is needed for that in the SE16N include where the function is activated. However, someone debugging another program could submit the SE16N FM from there as well, so you must at least be able to display in the debugger to get anywhere near it in the first place.
So it checks all three.
It also means that if the person does not have the authority and wants to use a dark trick to assign authorizations, they will need to go looking for SAP_ALL or possibly a multiple of authorizations to assign to pass all three checks. That is more "noisy", which is also good for finding people with fat fingers.
> why was it not limiited to CO-tables?
It does check S_TABU_DIS...?
AFAIK the popularity of the transaction (much more than just this edit feature) caught SAP by surprise and by the time it's use had exceeded imaginable boundaries... there was little chance of retro-fitting functional restrictions or a component downport to "SAP_BASIS". So authority-checks it was...
Note that the code field of SE16 is still there, as it has been since ancient times.

Julius

Generate Prime Interface Availability and Utilization Report for unified APs

Hi,
I´m trying to generate interface availability and interface utilization report for unified APs on Prime Infrastructure 2.0, but it doesn´t display any information. I have created device health and interface health templates under desing/Monitor configuration/My templates and deployed under Deploy/Monitoring deployment, but it still don´t show any information,
thaks for your help.

Hi Alejandro,
Did you solve this problem? Or is it a bug?
I face the some issue with you, I just run "Report/Report Launch Pad/Deivce/Interface Utilization"
and then I create a report for interface utilization.
But it display nothing when the report run finished.
I ask some guys in this forum, they said maybe it's a PI2.1 bug.

Interface Volume reporting

Hi ,
I am working on Interface Volume reporting of PI like daily, weekly and monthly, individual and aggregate reports and also interactive reporting of Interfaces, the sources are going to be databases of ABAP engine, AAE and Archive data of both the stacks.
I am looking for if someone worked on volume reporting on the Interfaces on messages are in the database and Archived. Currently we are using Performance monitoring to get reporting from Database but our retention period of the interfaces is only 2 days so we can't rely on this monitoring we wanted to run the similar reports on the Archived data as well.
My understanding is that History (SMX*HIST, ) and Archive metadata tables(ZARIXBC1) contains interfaces metadata info so we can run reports on these tables. So I am wondering if anyone worked on the same lines or any other better solution.
Thanks,
Laxman

Last I hear, the rule of thumb is to pick one direction (ingress or egress) and stick to that for configuring all the interfaces of the entire router, lest the same flow gets counted twice due to mixing ingress-and-egress as you've witnessed. Even then, if one router's all ingress or another all egress, but they both export NetFlow records to the same collector/reporting server, a flow passing through a set of neighbor interfaces on the two routers would still get double-counted. I don't know how NetFlow v9 or Flexi NetFlow resolves this issue without the IOS allowing an interface to be configured with both ingress and egress flow cache simultaneously. That, plus the NetFlow collector/analyzer needs to have the intelligence to deduplicate.
Here's a blog post that seems to suggest some NetFlow reporting sw can resolve this issue alone, working with mixed-direction NetFlow v9 exports. However, I can't ascertain if this software exists yet.

RME 3.1 Custom Reports - Interface Last Used

Is there a way of creating this report to find out when a port was last used.
The template specifies yy:mm:dd:hh but the detailed report displays days hh:mm:ss
e.g. would like to create a report for interfaces not used for more than 90 days.
tried exporting to csv and sorting but the format doesn't sort in order correctly unless
anyone can tell me how to format the cells to sort properly.

Hi,
For the user tracking information, you can generate such kind of reports from Campus Manager instead of RME.
Kindly have a look at this doc link and try to generate the report from Campus Manager > User Tracking > Reports > Report Generator > Select "Switch port report " and various option available like :- Recently Down, Reclain Unused Down ....and you can specify the number of days manually "90" too.
Here is onlice doc link from Campus Manager 5.2 User guide.

I think it is security issue. What schould i do to solve this problems?
Wojtek

Hi Wojtek
I just wanted to know if you found a solution for part (1). I just recently encountered the problem where:
"when i try to execute reports in report manager, parameters controls are not displayed correctly (very simple text boxes) and I can see:
The selected report is not ready for viewing. The report is still being rendered or a report snapshot is not available. (rsReportNotReady) "
However all my reports are run from the most recent data. The rsReportNotReady message appears in Report Manager but not the Report Server interface; the latter is able to render the reports.   But both have incorrectly displayed textbox inputs.
Thanks
