Defining Conditions for a Classification Report 

Use

This procedure tells you how to create a report run and how to specify the conditions in it.

Procedure

...

       1.      Open the Repository Browser (transaction SE80).

       2.      In the context menu of the package, choose Create ® Development Coordination ® Classification Report or execute transaction SREP.

       3.      In the Report Name field, enter a name for the report and choose Create. If the report already exists, enter the name and choose Display or Change.

       4.      Choose

                            a.      Create Object List, to display a list of all objects matching the conditions. If no conditions are specified, you see a list of all objects classified with the corresponding characteristic.

                            b.      Create Statistical Data, to display a the number of objects that match the conditions (if any) and the number of objects classified with the characteristic you are interested in.

You can select both.

If you want to restrict the permission to execute a report or to view its result, you can specify an authorization group. If you do so, the authorization S_PROGRAM (activity SUBMIT) is required for the specified group.

       5.      On the Characteristics tab page, choose for which characteristics you need statistical data.

       6.      On the Conditions tab page, you can filter out only objects classified according to the conditions you set. You can use the logical operators AND and OR. The conditions you set have to follow the pattern:

( (<condition> or <condition> … or <condition> ) and ( <condition> or … ) and ( .. ) ) or

( (<condition > or < condition> … or < condition> ) and ( <condition> or … ) and ( .. ) ) or …

Each condition has the form:

<Characteristic> ( = | < | > | ≠ | => | <= ) <Value>

The operators <, >, <=, and >= can be used only for single-valued characteristics. In this case the result of the comparison refers to the order of the values of the characteristic.

       7.      Use the buttons Change, Insert, Append, and Delete to modify the condition.

       8.      Save and activate your report.

Result

The conditions for your classification report have been defined. You still need to run it.
