Abap reports: Detecting who uses and how often

Our company has been live with R/3 since 1996, and has accumulated a lot of custom ABAP reports. When we next upgrade or apply support packs, I'd like to be able to retire the unused reports, and find out who used the rarely-used ones.
Ideally, SAP 4.6c already has a tool which detects starts via 'submit', SE38, SA38, or transaction code.
Does anyone know of such a tool?
(We have a product called Luminate, but didn't buy the ad-hoc reporting part I need. I also looked at SAP's RBE, but it's currently unavailable.)

Hi Eric,
You can write your own code which will give you are the information from the STAT file.
You can also run STAT - System Statistics to get the info. We have written a simple code which does 3 steps mentioned below. We read the info from the STAT file and store in the z table.
NOTE: you can use this code only if your system has been enabled for collecting STAT info.

How many users and how often a particular discoverer report is being run?

Hi there,
We run discoverer(4i) reports from portal. The question is:
How to find out the number of users and how often a particular discoverer report is being run?
Many Thanks in advance.
Naren

I know in the 9 versions of discoverer is there is a Discoverer v5 Business Area that is included out of the box. You have to have the stats turned on inside of the pref.txt. But that BA has all of the information to create queries about who, what, parameters, etc. You'll have to check and see if its part of 4i.

Which file type should I use and how I use it?

Hello!
I need to create a file with some data that has been inserted manually.
In this file, for example, there are:
ProjectName1: string1, string7… string10, date1
ProjectName2: string11, string15… string20, date2
ProjectNamek: string 100, string 116 … string 140, date1
I know only one thing: one of the strings.
What I need to find in the file:
I need to find the string at one of these rows and get its ProjectName and date.
For example: if I have string15,
I should find string15 in the file, and get its ProjectName and date:
ProjectName2, date2
Which file type should I use and how I use it? What is the best solution?
Thanks!

(ie:
1. ProjectName always starts the line and ends with a ':'.
2. The rest of the strings on the line are separated by ", " and will never contain ", "
you might also want to have a look at String.split().

Use Office for Mac 2011. If you have it, open one of the programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and do Help > Check for Updates from the menu.
Otherwise, purchase Office 365 and use that.

Remove Cookies? Why and how often? Option seems to be different now that I'm running Mountain Lion.

The only reason to remove Cookies is if your concerned about being tracked and your privacy. It's futile to keep removing Cookies from sites you frequently visit.
In your browser settings, you should set the cookie preferences to block cookies from third parties and advertisers. In Safari you do that in Preferences/Privacy.
In Safari you can also set Preferences/Privacy to ask websites not to track me

I don't have iCloud in my system preferences, I am using 10.6.8 how do I see how much storage I am using and how do I purchase more?

You can't check your usage on the iCloud website - you have to do this from the iCloud prefs pane, which you don't have. If you are only using it for email you would have to be storing an awful lot of messages to exceed 5GB. If you are concerned about this you can download some of them to your Mac and off iCloud.
To do this simply create a folder under 'On My Mac', go to the iCloud mailbox, select some of the messages and drag them to the folder you created. Don't try to do too many at once (say more than 100) and allow time for them to download.
If you haven't yet set Mail up to access iCloud, but are simply using the website, you can set it up as detailed here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
If you do decide to upgrade, the latest version of iPhoto is only £10.49, though MS Office is more of a problem. But you can go on as you are as long as your Mac holds out - Snow Leopard is a good solid system.

Reporting Enhancement - RSR00001 - BW: Enhancements for global variables in reporting
And using the SAP Exit - EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001
RSR00001- With this enhancement to global variables in reporting you have the option of determining your default values for variables. You can use this enhancement for variables, for which 'Processing by Customer-Exit' has been selected in the variable maintenance. This is valid for all variable types (characteristic value, node, hierarchy, formula and text variables). You use the Exit EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 for this.
The Enhancement component (RSR00001) must be assigned to a Project Created using the Transaction CMOD. On activating the Project, the Exit would become active and in turn the logic written inside the Exit.
To ensure that the data warehousing soultion reflects your company's structure and business needs it is critical that you establish who is authorized to access the data.With SAP BW, Authorizations can be defined and maintained by object and can also be applied to hierarchies and these authorizations can be inserted into roles that are used to determine what type of content is available to specific users or user groups.

Problem in Printing ABAP Report in EP using SAP Transaction IVIEW

Dear All,
A very gud evening,
I am using SAP Transaction Iview to show the ABAP Reports, But I have a Problem...
How to print this report???
Please solve this issue, I have measure requirement of it from client.
Thanks in Advance..

Thanks Haydn,
But my problem is that, there may be no of users will be accessing this report. user will not be having SAP GUI installed in his machine. He will be accessing Transaction IView after login in EP (from any where may be from cyber cafe) and He would like to take printout using any button on the screen.
So suppose any end user having only Internet Explorer installed in his machine, will he be able to take the print out. I think its very genuine requirement.
OR user can not take print out untill SAP GUI is installed in his machine???
Please suggest...
Thanks in advance...

LMS 4.2 Why is TCP port 514 used and how to close it?

An internal security scan showed that TCP port 514 is open on the Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.4 server. The security team is concerned that this port is commonly used for rsh, which is not encrypted and may use plain text logins or poorly authenticated logins. The port being open is documented in the "Installing and Migrating ..." manual for LMS 4.2 where it says that this TCP port 514 is used for Remote Copy Protocol in the direction from the server to device. The well-known port associated with a service is usually on the target host, not on the host that initiates the connection, so this is a little confusing. I see that there is no rsh service in /etc/inetd.conf, but there is an rsh service in /etc/xinetd.conf. This LMS is not configured to use RCP for anything, as far as I can tell.
Can I close TCP port 514 on this server without disasterous results, and how do I do that?
Or, how do I satisfy the security team that having this port open is not a security concern?
Thanks for any help.
Dave

I have a love/hate relationship with security audits like that. Happy to know the profile of a server but then hating to have to justify everything their "report" "concludes" (95% of which is usually just dressed up too output from Nessus or whatever).
Problem is with appliance servers running a packaged application like LMS, mucking with the OS settings (rc files etc.) can break things in unexpected ways. I'm more in favor of putting it on a segmented network and applying access-control lists or firewall rules inbound vs. trying to take apart the system and put it back together using only the parts you think are necessary (a bit of hyperbole there but it's to make a point).
Call it defense in depth and declare victory and then move on with using the tool to actually manage the network instead of defending its configuration to the Stasi.

How do you and how often do you do maintanace?

I'm poor at doing maintenance. I'd like to get into a maintenance routine and I'm looking to hear what you all do to maintain your iMac, how often you do it and any software you use to help you.
Cheers,
sws

I run +Repair Disk Permissions+ on the Disk Utility +First Aid+ tab immediately before running Software Update to install any software update.
Additionally, if the update is a system update (such as for 10.5.7), I restart from another startup disk, such as an external drive or the Mac OS X installation disc, run Disk Utility, and this time use +Repair Disk+. I have a small external drive with a minimal Leopard installation (along with TechTool Pro and some other utilities) that I use for this purpose. Then I restart normally and let Software Update install the system update.
That is basically all the maintenance I do as a routine. I let Mac OS X take care of other "maintenance" and don't worry about it.
