Reporting Information Structures

Prerequisites

You have created and filled the information structure on which reporting is to be based.
The initial screen of the Archive Explorer appears.

Enter the name of the information structure. It must be active.

To select an information structure, you can also enter the name of an archiving object and use F4 to display all active information structures belonging to the object.
Choose menu option Archive Infostructure Reporting .

This takes you to the Archive Explorer selection screen.
Enter selection criteria to establish which data you want the reporting to read.

If you do not want to restrict the selection, choose Execute.
Choose Execute.

The system displays the information structure list. It contains all of the data that the reporting program has read from the fields contained in the information structure.
Double click on the entry you want to access the archive directly. If more than one view is defined for this object, a dialog with a choice of views appears.

Note
Depending on the archiving object, the dialog box offers a technical view or a business view or both. Multiple business views are also possible.
Select the desired view and confirm with Continue.

This takes you to the table overview for the selected data object.
To display the table contents, click on the magnifying glass symbol for a table (similar to the display function in transaction SE16).

You are now at the lowest level of data, that is the field level for the archived object. You can take the information directly from the table.
