Function documentationBTracking

 

Data Tracking, also referred to as BTracking, is a process where applications can be tracked for their usage. Appropriate reports can also be gathered from SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BI) based on this data collected.

In the SAP standard delivery, the BTracking function (V_T5SSCTRACKXSS table view) is switched off.

Once tracking is active each time the application is launched by a user, it is recorded in the T5SSCXSSSERVICES table. This data is used in BI extraction for further analysis.

Activities

  1. In order to enable the tracking for all self-services, you set the TRACKING_ON field of table V_T5SSCSWITCHON to true. To do so, perform the steps in Customizing for Personnel Management under Data Tracking for Self-Services -> Activate Data Tracking All Self-Services.

  2. In order to enable the tracking for an application, additionally you have to make an entry for the application in the V_T5SSCTRACKXSS table view. To do so, perform the steps in Customizing for Personnel Management under Data Tracking for Self-Services -> Set Data Tracking for Individual Self-Services.

  3. Apart from the application-specific fields this view has a TRACKING_ID column. This allows for the same application to be tracked differently for different configurations. When different TRACKING_IDs are maintained, the TRACKING_ID application parameter in the Personal Profile application has to be set to the appropriate value, to which it has to be tracked against.
