Features

Administrators control whether data auditing is active or not. To enable data auditing, ensure an application set is within your current view, then choose Manage Data Audit.

For each application within the application set, you select a category and one or more of the following tasks to audit:

Viewing a summary of data audit settings

When managing data audit settings, you can choose View Audit Settings for All Categories to see a summary of the settings for the tasks and categories within the application.

Reporting on data audit information

Once activity is recorded, you can run a report that shows activity based on specified criteria (see Reporting on Data Audit Information).

Purging and archiving data audit logs

When selecting the tasks to audit for a category within an application, you can indicate whether you want to retain the logs of the data audits indefinitely or for a specific number of days. Planning and Consolidation does not delete the logs; rather, it archives them after the number of days you indicate.

You can also set up Data Manager packages to archive data audit information. If using the NetWeaver version of Planning and Consolidation, see Data Management. If using the Microsoft version, see Data Management.
