The data for the WIS has to be read from the runtime tables of the workflow system, formatted and then copied to the information structures of the LIS. The data is not transferred in a continuous automatic process, instead it is copied by the "data retrieval program" RMCADATA. You must schedule this program periodically.

Only those work items are copied to the WIS that have the status completed.

Another restriction is that work items that are parts of a workflow are only copied when the workflow has the status completed.

The "data retrieval program" RMCADATA reads selected data on the work items that fulfill the above requirements from the runtime tables, and then transfers this data to the LIS in the communication structure MCWF_TRANS. The LIS then "distributes" it to the information structures. The data refers to completed work items of the following types:

• Work item of type W (dialog work item) representing a single-step task with dialog
• Work item of type B (background work item) representing a single-step task without dialog
• Work item of type F (workflow) representing a multistep task.

Only part of the data transfer to the LIS is distributed to the individual information structures. The way in which the data is distributed is controlled by update rules. These rules have to be set for each information structure.

Create a variant for the report RMCADATA that assigns the selection criterion evaluation period a variably calculated date.

Define a job that has the report RMCADATA as its only step, and schedule it periodically.
