Hi all.
With PPM 5.0 came the possibility to easily add (on a specific tab) customer long-text fields for portfolio items, So far so good - but with data entered in these fields comes also the requirements to be able to report on the same. As far as I understand no standard option cover that.
Best would have been if it was possible to make the selected long-text fields available in the item dashboard. This is however not available via the normal "define fields for dashboards" as far as I can see.
Is there a way of anyhow making selected long text fields available for the item dashboard? BADI?
If not - another solution is needed. Googling on this I found two threads which touch upon this and points to two options
1) In http://scn.sap.com/thread/3529475 => use of method cl_rpm_entity_services=>get_long_text_rpm via se24
2) In http://scn.sap.com/thread/3692642 => use of function module "read_text
How to use these options in practice? I assume one idea could be create a custom report that is linked to a custom icon and that the selection then comes from the user marking the rows the report should cover.
Experiences / suggestions?
