Prerequisites

The report RMCADATA copies the data from work items that were completed within a particular Analysis period. The analysis period is set in the selection criteria of the report by setting an end date (single value or interval).

Create a variant to specify values for the selection criteria of a report that are then set when the report is started and allow the report to be executed in the background.

  3. Choose Continue to exit variant maintenance.

    4. A screen appears with the attributes of the variant.

  4. Enter a short text in the field Description.
  5. Select the column Selection variable for the field Finish date.
  6. Then choose Selection variables.

  7. Select the traffic light under the letter D (Dynamic date calculation) so that it turns green.
  8. Enter a dynamic analysis period in the field Variable name.

Depending on how often you schedule the report, in other words how often you want to copy the runtime data into the information system, enter one of the following values for the name of the variable: Use F4 help to make an entry.
