Report-Report Interface
Using the Report-Report Interface command (RRI), you can use the report-report interface at the runtime for the Web application.
Using the Web template parameter, you specify, for example, whether the jump target is to be opened in the same window or in a separate window (see also RRI Open Mode (RRI_OPEN_MODE) under Web Template Parameters ).
The list below shows the command parameters in the sequence in which they appear in the Command Wizard when you insert the command:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Data Provided Affected (TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF) |
You use this parameter to specify which data provider the command is to relate to. |
|
RRI Receiver (RRI_RECEIVER) |
You use this parameter to specify the ID of the RRI receiver: You can determine this ID using the Maintain Sender Receiver Assignment screen in the BW system. On the SAP Easy Access screen of the BW system, choose SAP Menu → Business Explorer → Query → Maintain Sender-Receiver Assignment (transaction RSBBS). The ID is a technical index that is made up of the element QURY and a four-digit sequential number, such as QURY0001, QURY0002, and so on. |
|
Data Row (DATA_ROW) |
You use this parameter to specify the row from which the jump is to be made. The data row with the default value -1 displays all cells. |
|
Data Column (DATA_COLUMN) |
You use this parameter to specify the column from which the jump is to be made. The data column with the default value -1 displays all cells. |
|
Characteristic (CHARACTERISTIC) (optional) |
You use this parameter and the input help dialog to select the characteristic that specifies from which data cell the jump is to be made. You use this parameter when you specify a value for just one of the parameters Data Row (DATA_ROW) and Data Column (DATA_COLUMN). |
The following examples are based on the data displayed in the table: all characteristics are in the data rows. Therefore, it is only necessary to specify a value for the Data Row (DATA_ROW) parameter. If there are characteristics in the data columns, the Data Column (DATA_COLUMN) parameter needs to be used in addition to or instead of the Data Row (DATA_ROW) parameter.

(1) This cell is data row 1 and data column 1 (characteristic Moore and Paper with the key figure Quantity).
(2) This cell is data row 4 and data column 2 (characteristic Smith and Chair with the key figure Amount).
(3) This cell is data row 6 and data column 1 (characteristic Smith and all articles with the key figure Quantity).
Passing One Characteristic Value
<bi:INSTRUCTION >
<bi:RRI >
<bi:TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF value="DP_2" />
<bi:RRI_RECEIVER value="QURY0001" />
<bi:DATA_ROW value="1" />
</bi:RRI>
</bi:INSTRUCTION>
The values for all characteristics of data row (DATA_ROW) 1 are passed. In this case, the vendor is (0VERNDOR) Moore and the article (0MATERIAL) is Paper.
Passing Multiple Characteristic Values
<bi:INSTRUCTION >
<bi:RRI >
<bi:TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF value="DP_1" />
<bi:RRI_RECEIVER value="QURY0001" />
<bi:DATA_ROW value="-1" />
<bi:CHARACTERISTIC value="0VENDOR" text="0VENDOR" />
</bi:RRI>
</bi:INSTRUCTION>
All values for characteristic Vendor (0VENDOR) are passed. In this case, these are Moore and Smith.
The report-report interface only passes the values of characteristics from one report to another report. Selected key figures are ignored. Only those characteristic restrictions of restricted key figures that are selected are passed. The displayed key figures are determined by the query definition for the recipient.
