Dear SAP Community,
In 2021, the Web Dynpro Multidimensional Data Grid App replaced the SAP Design Studio app as default reporting tool for drill-down reporting in SAP S/4HANA. This app is using the Search UIBB provided by FPM for variable selection.
For the two components Grid and Search used in the Web Dynpro Multidimensional Data Grid it is possible to save the actual state (search View for the variables and Bookmark for the Grid (Layout for the grid and if wanted variables of the search)) in the actual system. These bookmarks and saved searches are stored in the system locally and cannot be transported automatically to other systems.
We from the FPM team, have now made it possible to transfer views and bookmarks from one system to another.
The source and the target system needs to be at last on a special Support Package level (for the saved searches SAP_UI 7.57SP006, SAP_UI 758 SP001 (note 3386445) and Release SAP_BW 757 SP003 for the bookmarks in the BICS Grid note 3336542).
For both components there are reports available which allow the user to collect the bookmarks/Saved searches and write them on a customizing request as well as reports in the target system to import them into the environment.
For the Search UIBB the reports are
- FPM_SEARCH_TRANSPORT_VIEWS (Source system report)
- FPM_SEARCH_IMPORT_SSEARCH (Target system report)
The source system report needs to be called within transaction SE38.
The user has to enter a search configuration ID (e.g. FPM_BICS_SEARCH_GENERIC for the BICS Grid standard configuration) for which the public search views should be transported.
The search IDs can be selected from the list as well as the deleted views which should be deleted in the target system.
These views will be written on a customizing request and can be imported into the target system with the target system report after the transport has reached the target system.
This importing report can be started via transaction SE38 and has an option to run a test first.
Please note that your system needs to be configured correctly for customizing request (transaction SCC4)
For the GRID the reports to transport the bookmarks are
- FPM_BICS_TRANSPORT_BOOKMARKS (Source system report)
- FPM_BICS_IMPORT_BOOKMARKS (Target system report)
When calling the source system report for the BICS Grid you need to know the query for which the bookmarks should be transported. The name of the query can be found on the query information tab in section Technical Information field “Query Technical Name” in your application.
For the importing report there is test run available and some more options like you have for the search UIBB views.
Now you have learned how to transport saved searches and bookmarks from one system to another.
Please note that the transport of saved searches not only works for variable selection for the BICS Grid but for all Search configurations.
