The extraction of reports requires the installation of a custom function module in your SAP system.
If you cannot install the function module, turn to your SAP Basis team for help.
Note: As of version 1.2 of the custom function module Z_XTRACT_IS_REMOTE_REPORT access to reports must be explicitly granted, see Authority Objects for Z_XTRACT_IS_REMOTE_REPORT.

The transport request is located in the following installation directory: C:\Program Files\[XtractProduct]\ABAP\Report\Z_XTRACT_IS_REMOTE_REPORT-transport.zip.
