Configuration Change Log Report 
Many companies require an audit trail change log to track configuration changes for SOX compliance. This report ensures that a security manager can track all changes that a system administrator makes in Superuser Privilege Management. The change information includes the name of the person who made the change and the date/timestamp.
The report tracks changes in the following tables:
Table Technical Name |
Table Common Name |
|---|---|
/VIRSA/ZFFUSERS |
Firefighters and validity dates |
/VIRSA/SVIRFFPWD |
Password changes |
/VIRSA/ZVIRFFID |
Owners |
/VIRSA/ZCNTRL |
Controller IDs |
This report is available for both ID-based and role-based administration. The reports are identical. You can access them through the Reports tab on the NetWeaver interface and through the 
Configuration 
Reports
in the Superuser Privilege Management Administrator’s toolbox.
To run the report, you must select a System from the pull-down menu. You may also specify a Configuration Table, a User ID, and a Date, or a range of these items.
To run the report, choose Execute. If you plan to use a variant again, choose Save Variant. If you previously saved a variant, choose Search Variant to find the saved settings.
You may also enter mandatory or optional comments. When you upload the report, you can enter one comment that the application applies to all changes of configuration data. To enable the comment feature, you must change The Configuration Change Comment Mandatory parameter on the Configuration tab.
