The path defined for the Archive Group is used to compute the directory where the reports linked to this Archive Group will be archived.
The Extension path for Archive is appended to the Base Path for Archive, as defined in the Report Archiving Parameters (ttaad3140s000) session.
The Extension path can consist of plain text mixed with the following keywords:
Keyword Description ${group} Group name ${year} Current year ${month} Current month number ${user} LN user ${company} LN company ${report} LN report code Example:
Group: INVOICES
Base path: /disk9/archive
Extension path: ${year}/${group}/${month}
Reports will be archived as:
/disk9/archive/2003/INVOICES/10/INVOICES0000000001
/disk9/archive/2003/INVOICES/10/INVOICES0000000002
- Keyword 1
-
An expression whose result is used as a keyword. You can use keywords, in the Archived Reports (ttaad3545m000) and Print Archived Reports (ttaad3445m000) sessions, to find a report that must be reprinted.
You can specify up to four keyword expressions for each report archive group.
The result of a keyword expression must be a string (alphanumeric) value and will be stored together with the archived reports.
Keyword expressions are executed during the archiving of the report. In an expression, you can use any table field or variable that is used in the report.
It is very useful to specify a keyword expression that is identical to the report's Split Expression, for example, the invoice number for a sales invoice report, or the purchase order number for a purchase order report.
Example (Invoices report):
Keyword 1: cisl305.sfcp & cisli305.tran & cisli305.idoc (Invoice Number)
Keyword 2: cisli305.itbp (Invoice-to Business Partner)
Keyword 3: dept (Department)
