Configuration of Reporting Services

The configuration information for reporting services within the WebDynpro for ABAP version of Employee Self-Service is divided into three broad sections:

Architecture of Reporting Services
This section gives you an overview of the architecture of how the reporting scenarios are to be implemented.
Implementation of a Simple Customer-Specific Reporting Service
This section contains information about how to do an implementation of a simple reporting service with the seven steps that are essential to get your scenario up and running.
Detailed Configuration
This section contains specialized information by topic which help you build more complex reporting services.

Process

In order to build your own customer-specific reporting services, proceed as follows:

Build your knowledge of the SAP Floorplan Manager for Web Dynpro ABAP (FPM) by reading the documentation in the SAP NetWeaver Library (you will find the complete documentation under the navigation path given above).
Read the sections on Architecture and Implementation of a Simple Reporting Service.
Create your own configuration based on the information you gathered in steps 1 and 2.
If required, refine your configuration by making yourself familiar with the specialized information in section Detailed Configuration.
Fill Method GET_DATA of your implementation with life, based on the information that you can find under Refining Method GET_DATA.
Test your new application.

Note Note

Steps 1 – 3 are the basic steps for creating a service and getting an output list. But the Detailed Configuration section provides you with information that you will also need when building your own application, especially the section on Refining Method GET_DATA, where you define the processing of the whole application. So do not skip these sections.
