Executing a Report Run

Use

This procedure tells you how to execute a report run after you have created a report definition.

You have saved and activated your report definition. For more information, see Defining Conditions for a Classification Report.

In the Repository Browser (transaction SE80), go to the node Classifications → Report Definitions.
Open your report definition and in the menu bar, choose Report → Create New Report Run.
The Execute Classification Report screen appears.
Enter filter criteria to specify the object set you want to search through.

Note

You can also refer to the result of other runs that produced an object set.
After entering the filter conditions, you can:
1. Execute the query: This creates a run, executes it directly, and displays its result.
2. Execute the query as a background job: This creates a new run and executes it in the background.
3. Create a new run: This just creates a new run without executing it.
  
  Note
  
  Each run is identified with the name of its report definition, its creation date, and a consecutive number.
To display the results of your run, switch to the Runs tab page and double-click the name of your report run.
On to the Runs tab page, you also can:
- Start a run that has not been executed
- Continue an aborted run
- Abort a run
- Delete a run
- Change the expiration date of a run

To perform any of these actions, select the run and choose the corresponding button from the toolbar.
