Read Access Logging (New)

Use

You can use Read Access Logging (RAL) to log and monitor read access to sensitive data. You can identify and track who has access to which critical information at which point of time within which Web Dynpro ABAP application. You can log which UI elements were visible to the user of the application as well as their content. These logs are usually needed to fulfill legal requirements.

To log read access for your Web Dynpro ABAP application, you first have to gather all fields that should be available for the Read Access Logging configuration. With the help of a user interface recorder you can go through the user interfaces and record every UI element that is relevant for read access logging.

You can then create your Read Access Logging configuration, which specifies which data should be logged under which conditions and whether only the access is logged or also the content.

When the user starts your application, the Read Access Logging configuration is read and the specified data is logged. You can view all log entries using the Read Access Logging monitor.
