Example documentationExample: BCV Query via BAPI Search Connector

 

As examples of BCV queries for BAPI search connectors, there are two CHIPs integrated in the QIM home page:

  • Graphic display of the number of issues by priority and status

  • Graphic display of the number of activities per month by expected end date

In addition to their direct display as CHIPs, you can also display the graphics in the BCV dashboard under Start of the navigation path Reports Next navigation step Dashboard for Quality Issues and Activities End of the navigation path. Here, you have the option of changing the input parameters for the graphic, which allows you, for example, to restrict the selection to one business partner.

Features

Number of Issues by Priority and Status

Technically, the BCV query 1QAM_ISSUE_PRIORITY_LC is delivered for this graphic and the query 1QAM_ISSUE_PRIORITY_LC_IN for the dashboard. These queries use the BAPI search connector 1QAM_ISSUE_PRIO_LC.

Note Note

Note that the search connector only provides the fields Priority, Status, and Number of Issues. To display other result fields, you must define a new search connector. You can use the search connector supplied as a template.

Note also that, for performance reasons, the search connector for the class CL_QAM_BCV_SIN_DS_QAM_ISSUES only provides the fields to which a meaning has been assigned.

End of the note.

The BAPI search connector provided uses the DataSource 0QAM_ISSUES for access. Therefore you must activate this DataSource in the transaction RSA5.

In the dashboard, you can change the following input parameters for this graphic, for example:

  • Issue type

  • Business partner

  • Code

  • Customer

  • Vendor

  • Material

  • Plant

Number of Activities per Month by Expected End Date

Technically, the BCV query 1QAM_ACT_TIV_EXP_END is delivered for this graphic and the query 1QAM_ACT_TIV_EXP_END_IN for the dashboard. These queries use the BAPI search connector 1QAM_ACT_TIV_EXP_END.

Note Note

Note that the search connector only provides the fields Interval and Number of Activities. To display other result fields, you must define a new search connector. You can use the search connector supplied as a template.

Note also that, for performance reasons, the search connector for the class CL_QAM_BCV_SIN_DS_QAM_ACTIVITY only provides the fields to which a meaning has been assigned. Only the time period of 10 years before and after the current date is taken into account. The date specification is based on the time zone UTC.

End of the note.

In the dashboard, you can change the following input parameters for this graphic, for example:

  • Authorization group
