Dashboard reporting for documents in Soldoc

[former_member188058]

Hi Experts,

We are using Solman 7.2 SP10 and are currently working on a requirement where in we need to read the status of the documents along with other attributes and then display this data into dashboard using dashboard builder. We have tried to write our logic (referring to std soldoc reporting - SMUD_REPORTING_LIST) and we can read the data now into our custom FM. However, when we pass this custom FM as data source into dashboard builder, it is not reading the data and no data is displayed in dashboard.

We have referred to this link for using FM as datasource in dashboard:

Has anyone done this before or have any clue how to proceed or display the soldoc data into dashboards?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Imran

Hi, where exactly resides your problem? Are you unable to fetch that information from SolDoc or have you managed to do that but somehow it is not getting properly into Dashboard (problem to fulfill FM return data)?

Your screenshot is about the standard report, which I don't think that be directly used for your scenario because it outputs to a file (from what I remember from last friday, forgot to comment here that time).

Thanks Thales for your insights.

Thanks Luis, I have already reviewed the links, but they don`t meet my requirements.

thalesvb - Thanks for your feedback. I am able to read the data into FM. But it is not getting loaded into dashboard. From design perspective, we have tried to follow the logic of standard soldoc reporting (SMUD_REPORTING_LIST) and then enhance it to read our custom data. But by this method, it is not updating the dashboard. Alternately, I think we can use class CL_SMUDE_API with interface IF_SMUDE_MODEL_READ, but not sure how to go about fetching the data.

Any suggestion on how to go about this using above class & interface?

Regards,

Imran

If you already manage to read data into FM then you don't need to fiddle around CL_SMUDE_API, it is also for read data. Your problem then is just output that to Dashboard Builder right?

I had this blog bookmarked, searching for "function module" will have a link to a SAP Help Page, and tells to use DSH_SAMPLE_FM_DATASET function module as a reference to implement your own. You never showed a piece of code, so I recommend to you configure with it, to allow you debug it when calling from Dashboard and give you some understand how it works. There is also this blog with a working example of Function Module as Data Source for Dashboard.

Your Z function module need to have same importing/exporting parameters from that reference. Test first with some hardcode values to have discover how it works and data shows on dashboard, only then try to plug SolDoc data code to display on Dashboard.

I'm without system access for following weeks, unfortunately I won't be able to help you at code level much more than this.

Hi imranmohammed.gadiwan,

Two quick things that might be helpful. First, I would suggest looking into the Dashboard creation features.

https://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm71_sp13/helpdata/en/65/156a6e832e408faeb4c55d3d0ff7b3/frameset.htm

Then, checking if Focused Insights have a specific Solution documentation dashboard solution that can be leveraged.
