How can a SAP or custom report be displayed on a VC dashboard?

[former_member207070]

We have NetWeaver Portal set up and also have Visual Composer 7.0. We do NOT have BI or BW. We are trying to set up and test a dashboard for our upper management. We have the backend SAP system connected and have access to the standard SAP BAPIs.

Is it possible to display the results of a standard SAP report ( for instance transaction S_ALR_87013611 or results from transaction CN40 ) or must custom BAPIs be written to capture the report results?

Hello MPersson,

You can only exchange data between VC and R/3 or ECC through Remote Function Calls.

So, if you want to display the data from a report or transaction one of the ways you can use is to write an RFC with a 'call transaction'.

You can also write an RFC which selects all the fields you want to import in VC.

Regards,

Alessandro.
