This function tracks administrative and user tasks at the application set level.

Features

The system can track activity for the following administrative and user tasks, showing the previous and new values as well as the IP address and machine name associated to the user making a change:

Administrative tasks

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

  • Add, modify, delete, and copy operations for applications and dimensions. This also includes dimension processing. In the NetWeaver version, delete and copy operations on application sets are also tracked.

  • Web Administration changes to application set parameters, application parameters, document types and subtypes, activity audit settings, and data audit settings

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

User tasks

  • Set work status locks

Activities

Administrators control whether activity auditing is enabled or not. To enable activity auditing, from Administration for the Web, choose Manage Activity Audit, then choose one or both types of activities to audit.

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

In the NetWeaver version of Planning and Consolidation, you can set up Data Manager packages to archive activity audit information (see System Administration Packages).
