Report-Report Interface 

Use

The report-report interface allows you the flexibility to call a jump target (receiver) online from a BEx query (sender) within or outside of the BI system. Jump targets that have been assigned to a BEx query can be selected in BEx Web applications and in the BEx Analyzer. You access them from the context menu under the Goto function.

Prerequisites

To use the RRI in a BEx Query or Web application, you first have to make the necessary settings with sender/receiver assignment.

See Editing Sender/Receiver Assignments to the RRI in the BI System.

If you want to jump from a Web application to a transaction or ABAP/4 report using the RRI, first you need to install an Internet Transaction Server (ITS) for the target system. The transaction or ABAP report is than displayed in the SAP GUI for HTML, which is part of the ITS. The ITS is also used for jump targets within the BI server. However, this does not have to be installed separately because it is automatically included in a BI system. The URL for starting a transaction in the SAP GUI for HTML is generated by the BI server.

Features

Queries, transactions, reports, and Web addresses can be jump targets. The parameterization of the target action is taken from the context of the cell from which you have jumped. You can set parameters for calling a BEx query or a BEx Web application using input variables that are filled from the selection conditions and the element definitions of the selected cells in the sender query.

Example

For your cost center report (Sender), you want to request master data from an SAP system (Receiver).

For a BEx Query with the up-to-date sales figures for your customer (Sender), you want to request up-to-date stock market data on your customer listed on the stock exchange from the Internet.
