Reporting Framework and CLI

The LeanIX Reporting Framework and CLI allows you to build custom reports.

Overview

SAP LeanIX offers a wide range of standard out-of-the-box reports. However, standard reports may be insufficient for your organization.

As a developer, you can build custom reports using the LeanIX Reporting Framework and Command-Line Interface (CLI). With this toolset, you can tailor reports to the needs of your organization.

The reporting toolset consists of two components:

  • LeanIX Reporting Framework: The framework provides a connection to the SAP LeanIX app, which allows you to create custom reports within SAP LeanIX using the report data and functionality.
  • LeanIX Reporting CLI: Command-line interface (CLI) tools let you run, build, upload, and publish custom reports to your workspaces and the SAP LeanIX Store.

Reporting Framework

The Reporting Framework is embedded in the SAP LeanIX app architecture. It communicates with the SAP LeanIX app through the Reporting Library API. Based on this JavaScript API, you can build custom reports using a framework of your choice.
