Introduction

Query jump targets:

Jump Queries are pairs of queries that are linked based on given characteristic values. A jump query allowsyou to automatically access a specific BEx query, An ABAP report, BEX WAD Application, Crystal Reports,InfoSet Query, and Web Address.

These are also collectively referred as jump targets icon-linking points within a query.Jump query uses RRI as an interface between the sender and receiver queries. Query jump targets areapplicable for calling the following report types:BW BEx Query, BW Web Application Designer etc.

RRI (Report to Report Interface):

RRI is a technique used in SAP BW to link reports for Drill-through reporting. It calls a 2nd more detailedreport (receiver query) from an initial request (sender query). It allows the drilled down from InfoCube to DSOobjects for more detailed reporting.

Drill Through (calling):

Drill through are calls from a query to another query using RRI. In SAP BW, Drill through are possiblethrough InfoCube query to InfoCube query, from InfoCube query to DSO, Query.

Demonstration on how to execute RRI

Report-Report-Interfacing is the terminology used to describe linking reports together. Report-Report-Interfacing uses Jump Targets that are created using the transaction code RSBBS. Query with RRIfunctionality can be identified by clicking on the Goto icon in the BEx Analyzer toolbar.

ScenarioWe have two reports

‘ZAD_Q1 Product Query’ which contains the product details

‘ZAD_Q2 Sales Order’ which contains sales doc details

In this document we are going to see how to link these two reports and get the data.

Step 1

To get started with RRI setup, from the initial screen select SAP Menu Business Explorer Query Maintain Sender-Recipient Mapping. Also, can use the T-code: RSBBS as shown below

Step 2

The t-code will display the RRI screen as shown. The RRI function works for query level and theInfoProvider-level (All queries of InfoProvider) as shown.

We are going to see the query level functionality.

In our example, the source is ‘ZAD_Q1 Product Query’

Click on the create button

New window will open to select the target

Select the target as ‘ZAD_Q2 Sales Order’ in search help and click on ‘Transfer’

The sender/receiver relationship has several choices to choose from,

The different report types available are listed below

Report Type Description

BEx query Jumps to a query that was created using BEx Query

designer

BW Java Web Application Jumps to a BEx Web Application that is an executed webtemplate created using BEx Web Application Designer.Note: this function requires Java based runtime of SAPNetWeaver BW

BW 3.x Web Application Same function as above, but used for SAP BW 3.x Web Application.

BW Crystal Report Jumps to a formatted report in Crystal Enterprise.

InfoSet Query Jumps to an InfoSet query

Transaction Jumps to a transaction in SAP system

ABAP Report Jumps to an ABAP/4 report in SAP system

Web Address Jumps to any web address and pass the parameters inthe URL

Own Report Type Jumps to any target of Web or SAP GUI for HTML.

In our case the target is also a Query, so choose ‘BEx query’ option

Step 3

Click on the Assignment Details button, to select / identify the fields to be assigned

from sender to receiver.To make changes to the individual fields choose the required settings from the dropdown list of therespective cells.

In the example, I will select the type as InfoObject and field name ZAD_PROD and selection type as singlevalue as shown below

When the system calls up the receiver, the settings made in the Field assignments dialog box are set. Thiscompletes the necessary configuration settings for the RRI to work.

Now save the changes.

Step 4

Open BEx Analyzer & open the source Query (ZAD_Q1 in our example)

Now Rclick on the Query Goto Sales order (Target Query - ZAD_Q2

The RRI query jump will display the Receiver as shown below

This is how we implement RRI concept at query level in SAP BI.
