Prerequisites

You have at least entered the required evaluation conditions (starting date and transaction code).

Procedure

Choose Start evaluation.

The system starts the evaluation of the table logs, change documents, or long texts using the selection conditions you entered.

Result

The system displays the results on the Audit Trail screen.

Audit Trail: x/y Transactions Evaluated is displayed in the title bar. Here, y stands for the number of transactions that can be evaluated, and x for the number of transactions that were actually evaluated. If the two values are not identical, some of the transactions were not evaluated because you do not have the authorization for them.

Note

For more information on non-evaluated transactions, see This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Evaluation conditions.

The results are displayed in two lists:

Either one or both lists are displayed, depending on whether you carried out an evaluation for table logs only, change documents only, or both.

In addition to the general selection conditions such as date, time, and person who made the changes, each list also contains more detailed information about the change document object or table log (for example, the value before and after the change is displayed for each changed data record).

  1. Select one or more table logs.
  2. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Data record.

In a further list, the system displays the changes to the individual files of the selected table row.
