Read Access Logging

Read Access Logging (RAL) allows you to log and monitor read access to sensitive data. You can identify and display which users have access at which time to critical information in which Web Dynpro ABAP application. You can also log which UI elements were visible to the application user as well as which content was contained in the affected elements. These logs are usualy needed to fulfill legal requirements.

To log the read access to your Web Dynpro ABAP application, you must first collect all of the fields that are affected by the configuration of the read access logging. Using a recorder for use interfaces you can run through the use interfaces and record the relevant UI element for the read access logging.

Here you create the RAL configuration that defines which data is to be logged under which conditions and if only the access or also the content is to be recorded.

If a user starts your application, the RAL configuration is read and the data stored in it is logged. You can display all log entries with the read access logging monitor.
