Procedure documentationEnhancing Data views

 

You can enhance the data views to display the data queried from multiple data tables along with the manipulated values of the fields, as additional columns.

  1. Create a structure using the transaction SE11. Include the structure in the ILM Retention Warehouse Repository using the transaction ILMREPOS.

    • The structure contains new fields to hold manipulated values of the fields in the selected data table.

  2. Create a class using the transaction SE24.

    • Implement the interface IF_IWP_EVIEW in the newly created class.

    • In the method Get_Data of the new class, enter the logic for manipulating the fields of the selected data table.

  3. Select the Enable Optimized RW checkbox in the Customizing Start of the navigation path Retention Warehouse Next navigation step Enable Optimized Retention Warehouse End of the navigation path.

  4. Start transaction ILMVIEW.

  5. Create a new data view or select the existing view (created using the transaction ILMVIEWM).

  6. Enter exit class name and exit structure name.

  7. Choose Save.

Result

A new enhanced view (existing view combined with the new structure) is created. You can view the new structure with manipulated values, as additional columns, in the local reporting screens.
