There is a very flexible high-performance reporting API available. These APIs are called readers. Currently three different reader exist:

Class	Description
/PCH/CL_BPF_RD_RPROCESS	The Process Reader is used to read processes based on many different selection criteria.
/PCH/CL_BPF_RD_RPROCESS_LISTNG	The Enhanced Process Reader is based on the above mentioned Process Reader but extends the available fields for better readability (e.g. Name of the user, Status description, ...)
/PCH/CL_BPF_RD_RACTIVITY	The Activity Reader is used to read based on activities but also provides information about its parents objects (part process, process).

The usage of all the readers is quite simple (see example at the end of the chapter):

The supported tables and fields are described below.

Field	Description
Process Reader
/PCH/BPF_RPRC	Contains all the runtime information about a process. Please refer to this structure to see the available fields.
Enhanced Process Reader (in addition to the Process Reader)
STATUS_DESC	Description of the process status (e.g. Completed)
PRIORITY_DESC	Description of the priority (e.g. Low)
OBJECT_TYPE_EXT	Description of the object type (e.g. Material)
BEZEI	Description of the process
PROCESS_ID	External ID of the process
VERSION	Version of the process
INITIATOR_NAME	Full name of the process initiator (e.g. Hans Müller)
OBJECT_KEY_EXT	Object key in external representation (e.g. without leading zeros)
CREATED_NAME	Full name of the user who has (technically) created the process
STARTED_NAME	Full name of the user who has (technically) started the process
COMPLETED_NAME	Full name of the user who has finished the process
CANCELLED_NAME	Full name of the user who has aborted the process
OVERDUE_SINCE	Overdue in days if a process is overdue
Activity Reader
/PCH/BPF_RACT	Contains all the runtime information about an activity. Please refer to this structure to see the available fields.
/PCH/BPF_RSPC	Contains all the runtime information about the corresponding part process. Please refer to this structure to see the available fields.
