Activity Auditing

This function tracks administrative and user tasks at the environment level.

Administrators control whether activity auditing is enabled or not. The system can track changes for the following activities, showing the previous and new values as well as the IP address and machine name associated to the user making a change:

  • Administration activities, including:

    • Security-related changes such as adding, changing, and deleting users, teams, task profiles, and member access profiles

    • Create, modify, delete, and copy operations for models and dimensions; dimension processing; create and delete operations for dimension members; changes made to property or hierarchy values for a dimension member; delete and copy operations on environments and on drivers for driver based calculations

    • Changes to environment and model setup options, global configuration settings and KPI definitions for automated performance analysis, document types and subtypes, activity audit settings, and data audit settings

  • User activities, such as setting data locks

  • Business Process Flow activities, such as adding, deleting, and modifying business process flows, and saving business process flows to new names

  • User activities in business rules management

Activities

To display activity auditing for the current environment, go to Administration and under the Audit section, choose the types of activity auditing to display.

Once the system records an activity, you can run a report that shows activity based on specified criteria (see Reporting on Administration Activity).

You can set up Data Manager packages to archive activity audit information. See the application help for SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, Edition for Microsoft Office on the SAP Help Portal.
