Report-Report Interface

Overview

Scope Support of native Report-Report Interface (RRI) infrastructure

 – Jump from one query status to another target within or outside SAP NetWeaver BW

 Analysis Office is sender

Scenarios

 – Jump to query: opens new Analysis Office default workbook with embedded query

 – Jump to query in another BW: launches URL (in BEx web) – Jump to transactions, ABAP report, BW Crystal Report, web address via URL

Transfers filter context

 – global filters, dynamic filters, and the filter on the selected measure/member

Only static assignments (no dynamic jump destinations yet)

BEx Workbooks need to be stored in BW repository Converts data sources and some important design components, but does not convert

everything
