RRI Functionality in Workbook

Hi Guys
This is my first post on SDN and i am really not able to find out any solution for this problem.
I have 2 queries ( One is summary report other one is detailed level report ) connected thru RRI functionality ( T-code RSBBS). I have developed two separate workbook for them. Now i want to provide the same RRI functionality in workbook.
I am getting the option for jumping to other workbook in summary book but when jumping to other workbook its giving me an error that the query is not on the same server. while they are on same server.
I don't know if SAP allow jumping between workbook but if you have any idea about the error which i am getting or any other way to achieve this functionality i would really appreciate your help.
I have seen some post on SDN where somewhere macro code is mentioned to achieve this but that is not working
Thanks

Hello all!
How I can get list of contents of the work book? What buttons, planning functions and planing sequences there are used?
I have found the table INDX with binary data (also class CL_RSR_DB_WORKBOOK and another functions). But how i can use it?

Hi,
You can get the details from the workbook itself... In the bex tool bar, there is 'Design Tool Box'. You will get all the details pertaining to the workbook (PF\Query\PS) in that

RRI, graphs in Workbooks

Hello Gurus,
      Firstly I would like to know if we can create jump queries between workbook and a query. I know I can jump from query to query and workbook to query but how about query to workbook.
      Secondly is there a problem in creating graphs in a workbook based on just one category in the report and if so can we dynamically change the title on the graph.
Example I have 4 regions N, E, W, S and based on the sales rate I need to create graphs. I wanted the graph title changed depending on my selection criteria. Is it possible or I need to create them in WAD?
       I am sure you guys would have a solution for this and expecting for an appropriate answer, thanks for all the prior help and ideas.

Hi Priya,
As far as the jump target from query to workbook is concerned, I guess you want the query to jump to a particular navigation state that you have stored in the form of a workbook. For this it may be helpful to actually save a view and use that as a jump target. Look at this for more info:

Issue in RRI

Hi All,
I have been facing an issue with RRI which is working fine in Development system. But when i moved it to UAT, it is not working.
I have created the RRI between the report and the R/3 transaction. When i try to navigate from the report to the transaction in dev, it is working. But when it is moved into UAT, I'm not able to do the same function.
The system is not throwing any dump or error message. But when i clicked on the goto option, the control remains in the report itself. It is not even asking for the logon credentials for the source system. I tried to debug the code, but not able to find out the reason for the issue.
This is the first time, i'm trying the RRI functionality in UAT. I have included RRI object in the transport.
I am using BW3.5.
Is there anything needed to be additionally included while transporting or any configuration needs to be done in the system to acheive the functionality of RRI between report to R/3?
Please help me to overcome this issue...
Regards,
Yokesh Kumar.

Hi,
I have checked the mapping in RSBBS. Everything is correct over there. And aslo, I found that the system is throwing a dump in the R3 with the error message,
"DYNPRO_SEND_IN_BACKGROUND"
"Screen output without connection to user"
But I could not figure out why the dump has thrown.
Is any one aware of this issue?

How to Cache a Web Template in RRI scenario

Hi,
We have used RRI functionality to one of our requirements where in user can look at Territory wise info first and can drill down to any specific territory for Dealer wise info. We have used Control Query to cache Dealer info based on all the territories. However, when user drills down from Territory to Dealer, system is not using the cache alreay created by the control query and resulting into slow response time.
Any thoughts on how to cache the Dealer info in this scenario? Any valuable input is appreciated.

Report - Report Interface (RRI)

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how the RRI function works with the NW2004s. I have configured this on the back-end using the RSBBS transaction but it does not show up neither in the Analyzer nor on the Web reports/Portal! Does anybody have an idea on how to go about this?
thanks,
PN

If you're working with a web template, make sure the parameter MENU_RRI is turned on in the entries of the context menu.
See context menu options here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/152fa54b315a38e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
If you are rendering a query in the portal, it will be using the standard 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN template - it's a good idea to save a copy this template before making any changes in the Web Application Designer.
If the RRI is set up correctly using RSBBS (are you going from query to query, or from query to template, or something else?) the RRI option should appear in the context menu when you execute the query in the BEx Analyzer (Excel add-in).

Functionality

Hi experts,
Wht is RRI functionality? Why we need to use this jump target? Wht is the use of this and how it impacts on the reports?
thanks,
deen

Hi,
   You use the sender-receiver assignment to make the necessary settings for connecting a BW query to the report-report interface (RRI) in the BEx Analyzer. You can assign receiver reports to a sender report, that is, a query in BW, within BW as well as to another SAP system.
Creating Sender/Receiver Assignments
       1.      In the SAP Easy Access Menu of the BW system, choose SAP Menu ® Business Explorer ® Query ® Jump Target. You reach the Sender-Receiver Assignment Maintenance screen.
       2.      Select one of the two tab pages and enter the required data.
Tab page
What you need to know
Query
Enter the technical name of the sender query or select a query using value help.
InfoCube
If you want to assign the same jump target to all queries for an InfoProvider, enter the technical name of the required InfoProvider or select it using value help.
       3.      Choose Create. You reach the Maintain Sender-Receiver Assignment dialog box.
       4.      Under Report Type, choose a receiver. You have the following options:
¡        BEx Query (see BEx Query as Receiver)
¡        BEx Web application
¡        BW Crystal Report
¡        InfoSet query (queries on Classic InfoSets)
¡        Transaction (see Create Transaction as Receiver)
¡        ABAP/4 Report
¡        Web address (see Create Web Address as Receiver)
To learn about features of the various types, see Receivers.
       5.      Choose a Target System. You have the following options:
a.       Local: The jump target is within the BW system.
b.       Source system: The jump target is outside of the BW system.
¡        One source system as a target system:
Specify the name of the source system. You can also choose the source system using input help.
¡        All source systems as target systems:
Choose All Source Systems. Specify the source system in which you first want to choose the required report
Log on to this source system.
       6.      In the Report field, enter a description for the receiver report. Once you have saved your entry, this description is displayed as the Report Title.
       7.      Choose Copy. You reach the Sender-Receiver Assignment Maintenance screen.
       8.      Save your entries.
       9.      For special cases, you can still maintain the assignment details. See also Maintain Assignment Details.
Changing Sender/Receiver Assignments
Once you have created a receiver, you can make the following changes in the fields in the table that are ready for input.
Group description
What you need to know
Report title
Specify a name.
Source system
Choose the required source system using input help. You can assign all source systems by entering *.
InfoSource
If an InfoProvider is filled from several InfoSources, you can specify from which InfoSource you want to extract data. In the InfoSource column, choose the InfoSource you want to use using input help.
If you also want to change the Report Type, Target System or Report settings, choose   Change. You reach the Sender-Receiver Assignment Maintenance screen. Make the required changes and choose Transfer.
Deleting Sender/Receiver Assignments
       1.      If you want to delete an assignment, select the corresponding row entry in the Receiver table.
       2.      Choose Delete. The system deletes the selected assignment.
Transporting Sender/Receiver Assignments
You get to the transport connection using the Transport Wizard. You can use it to transport sender-receiver assignments that you created. All jump targets are then transported together. Queries as sender are collected by the object collector as necessary objects, and receivers as optional objects.
Result
Jump targets, which were assigned to a BW query, are available for selection in Web applications and in the BEx Analyzer by means of the context menu under the Goto function.

Chapter 1 presented an overview of BWu2019s architecture, concepts, and terminology. In this
chapter you will learn how to use the Business Information Warehouse to create workbooks
(or reports).
As shown in the graphic below, creating a workbook in the BW is essentially a five-step
process:
To help you get started with the Business Information Warehouse, we have organized the
material as follows:

Before you start building workbooks, it is useful to understand the following:
< What is the business scenario? (see below)
< What does the finished workbook look like? (see next page)
%XVLQHVV 6FHQDULR
Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the business scenario shown below. All the
guided tours in chapters 2 through 4 are built around this business scenario.
Bungee Software, Inc. develops and markets games for personal computers. Best-selling
titles such as Portal Kombat, Barrio Brothers, and Kung Fu Grandma have helped Bungee
Software become a leading supplier of computer games. However, the company is
currently facing increased competition from Pixialated, Inc. To protect its market share,
Bungee Software has formed a task force to explore ways to streamline its sales processes.
The company has discovered that collecting and disseminating sales data to executives
consumes considerable time and resources. The task force believes that easier access to
sales and profit analysis information would save time and help executives with salesplanning
activities.
Some of the key questions the executives typically ask are:
< How does the sales revenue for 1998 compare with 1997 sales?
< What is the annual gross profit?
< What is the sales volume for the top products?
< What is the sales volume for the top customers?
< Which sales representative/manager is responsible for declining sales volume?
After evaluating its information needs, Bungee Software has decided to develop the
following reports in the Business Information Warehouse:
< Sales Analysis Report (in this example, 1998 vs. 1997)
< Gross Profit Analysis Report
1RWH The workbook you are about to develop is based on the SAP-delivered SD
DemoCube Workbook (in the SAP DemoCube channel). To follow the guided tours
covered in chapters 2-4, make sure that the DemoCube is active and loaded with the data
on your BW system. For more information on activating the SAP DemoCube, see chapter
5 or contact your SAP system administrator.

Microsoft Excel opens with the add-in SAP Business Explorer toolbar in the main window.
About the BEx Analyzer
The structure of BW workbooks is defined using the Business Explorer (BEx) Analyzer.
You can define queries, graphics and other elements, and insert them into workbooks.
The result of a query is presented in an Excel Worksheet. The BEx Analyzer is
implemented as an u201Cadd-inu201D for Microsoft Excel, and links queries to cells in Excel
workbooks. Thus, you evaluate query data by navigating through the query in an Excel
worksheet.
:KDW ,V WKH %XVLQHVV ([SORUHU 7RROEDU"
The SAP Business Explorer toolbar integrates BW reporting functionality in the Microsoft
Excel environment. The BEx toolbar enables filtering, sorting, drilldown, currency
translation, computation of results, use of attributes and hierarchies, saving and managing
workbooks, and more. In addition to the Toolbar, you can still use the full Excel
functionality.

As shown in the business scenario on page 2u20132, Bungee Softwareu2019s workbook design calls
for pushbuttons to allow easy navigation between the two reports. Additionally, the reports
contain a textbox to allow annotations and commentary. To achieve this, you can add Visual
Basic functionality to the workbook template.

Selection Screen pop up issue - with jump query RRI

Hi Experts,
I am facing one issue regarding Jump Query(RRI) functionality.
I have one query and also one drill down query.
I need to jump from the first query to the drill down query.
To achieve this , I have added the first query as sender in RSBBS T-Code and added the drill down query as Receiver.
I have also done the variable assignment from the Assignment Details tab.
Now the Jump functionality is working.
But , whenever I am jumping to the receiver query , The selection screen pop up is appearing.
I don't want this selection screen to appear during jump.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Biswarup

Hi ,
For testing purpose , I have used a single query as sender as well as receiver query.
So , the characteristics set is same.
The query is a simple query, with only one input variable.
and I have assigned it, from variable assignment.
But still the selection screen pop up is coming , when trying to jump.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Biswarup

I guess its most probably with save thing or caching .you copied queries ..right?
why not you delete rsbbs old entires and test for just one report for rri functionality by creating a new
rsbbs entry......check it out....it may help.
Most probably its related to caching issue....

Wanted to disable right click for RRI for one of coulmns...

Hi
I created query in WAD 7. The query output in Portal shows 5 columns. For this query i have RRI (Jump query). Could u pls. let me know how can I disable Right-Click functionality for one of the column field (basically i wanted to restrict RRI functionality for one of the field column).
Thanks...

As far as I know, RRI works at the level of record, not column... So for any column in any record where you right click and select Go To, you'll get the settings from RSBBS...
Fields and settings specified in Assignment Details are for those parameters to be transferred to the target, not for determining what columns accept the right-click or not...

Jump in a WebI report from report A to report B (BI4)

Hi all,
Within my WebI document I want to jump from the first report to a specific report in de total WebI report. Is this possible with the OpenDocument function?
An example:
Column A    |   Column B
Value 1       |   KeyFigure 1
Value 2       |   KeyFigure 1
My customer wants to click on "Value 1" and then jump to a report (same WebI document) with details of Value 1.
When clicking on "Value 2", he needs to jump to a report with details of Value 2.
Hope this scenario is possible in BI4 WebI or do I need to wait on the RRI functionality?
Can anyone help me?
Regards,
Pieter

The problem with the value "#UNAVAILABLE" is solved. In this case I created a variable with the in-operator:
=[Spend 2011] In ([Segment type])
Now I want to jump to another report in my WebI document. For this scenario I created a new variable (with name test) with the formula:
=If [Segment type] = "FACILITIES" Then "Facilities_detail"
ElseIf [Segment type] = "HR" Then "HR_detail"
ElseIf [Segment type] = "ICT" Then "ICT_detail"
ElseIf [Segment type] = "MARCOM" Then "Marcom_detail"
ElseIf [Segment type] = "NOG TE SEGM." Then "Nog_te_segm_detail"
The dynamic Element sReportname I defined as: ="[test]".
After these steps, the hyperlink will not work with my dynamic Segment Type. Did anyone have this experience and how can i solve this?

Pieter

CAN NOT IMPORT BUSINESS AREA AS IT SAYS - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED

We have recently migrated from Disco 4.1.48.08 to 10.1.2
Everything looks ok - we are able to look at existing workbooks and business areas. And we can export business areas successfully.
However
When we try to import some business areas it returns - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED and fails. This is now causing a problem with how we promote from our test/uat and prod environments.
any ideas ?

Here's some information from Support that helped me...
Discoverer has many options on exporting and importing objects. Entire End User Layers, Entire Business Areas or only selected objects could be exported. To simplify the process of exporting and importing Business Areas, it is suggested that the export and import process should be done with entire Business Areas. The reason why it is not recommended that selected objects are exported and imported as a norm is to simplify maintenance.
It is still possible to export and import selected objects, but a knowledgeable Administrator is recommended to head the procedure. The process could get
very complex and difficult to manage.
Some Additional Notes:
- Join conditions are exported, but are not indicated as an object. Join conditions are only exported ** if ** the joining folders are exported.
- If the ‘refresh’ option is performed in Discoverer Administrator on an object and the underlying object on the database is not available, the object is dropped from the EUL. It is of utmost importance that the objects exist on the underlying database before the ‘refresh’ option is executed.
- Functions and Workbooks are not exported when exporting an entire Business Area. Functions and Workbooks have to be exported separately.
The first bullet is what was giving me this error "JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED". I was unable to do a full export - another unrelated error, so I came up with an alternate solution. I created a new BA that only contained the standard folders that my two custom BA's referenced - by JOINS and inclusion in my complex folders. I exported all 3 and they imported into the new instance with no issue.

Control query variable

I have a query (say query 1) which has replacement path variable and a date variable, say A. The replacement path variable calls another query (query 2). If I use the same date variable (A) on query 2, will it take the value that the user entered in query 1 variable screen? In other words, will the date variable A value get passed from query 1 to query 2?

Hello Uday,
If my understanding is right u r passing the value of one query to the other, if so u can make use of the RRI functionality thru with u can maintain the relation between the two queries using variables in RSBBS.. Tcode.

KK
