Tracking report download activity

I have enabled the UsageTracking in my existing project.
However now we have a requirement to track when any user downloads a particular report.
Just wanted to know if this is possible or not?
Can we use writeback to populate some table to track this.
Regards
Vikram

Hi JAri

Can you suggest me a workaround?
Thanks and regards.

Is there any way to track what reports are actively running on BOE?

Good Afternoon.
I am looking for a way to track the names of what reports are currently being run on Business Objects. We are on Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 SP3 and from what Iu2019m aware, the servers can show the administrators how many connections and how many jobs are running, and the auditing command can track when a report has completed/failed (from what I understand), but nothing really tells us what reports are actively being run.
The purpose of this is to measure impact for an emergency restart of the server, track down reports that are taking up system resources, and debugging issues involved with the SDK.
Background: We have several reports hosted on Business Objects, both Crystal Reports and Web Intelligence. These reports go to different universes and databases and use several different accounts depending on the project (no central generic accounts to the databases). Sometimes when people are running several large reports (some being upwards of 1 million rows) the users will open one, leave it to run and go to open several others, killing our session limit and resources on the server. In addition, there have been times in development that restarts have been required but there was no way to tell what reports were running, just the number of them, and in several different spots (RAS, Page server, etc.).
Wish list (If my first priority is answered, Iu2019m also looking for the following):
- One to one associations of what reports are being run by what users.
- A centralized location to see what reports are being run by users opening them and what reports are being run by users scheduling them.
- The ability to u201Ckillu201D a report that is taking too long to run by a user.
- Possibly an interactive dashboard showing the number of active reports verses the serveru2019s limit, what reports are set in queue, etc.
- The u201Cstageu201D a report is running in, so if someone is running a report but its stuck at the prompt for a variable stage, querying data from the database, getting data back from the database, producing and processing the data to the screen, etc.
If Iu2019ve missed something in the Business Objects tools or if someone knows of a way to extract this type of data from the Business Objects server (3rd party tool or custom fix) I would appreciate the assistance. Thank you for your time.

Brian,
I don't know if you tried using the Query Builder.
The query below (or some modification of it) may be of some help.
SELECT
SI_SCHEDULEINFO, SI_NAME
FROM
CI_INFOOBJECTS
WHERE
SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS = 1
The SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_SUBMITTER property in the query result will give you the BOUSER value of the user that submitted the job.
SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS takes the following values:
0     The job is currently being processed by the job server.
1     The job completed successfully.
3     The job failed. Check error message.
8     The job is paused.
9     The job has not started because dependencies are not satisfied (e.g. Events)

HT1689 how do i track a stolen ipad without a tracking software downloaded on it??

my ipad was stolen but there was no tracking software downloaded on it before it was stolen. how can i track it without one on it?

You cannot.
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

User login report in Active Directory for specific date and time

I want to get User login report in Active Directory for specific date and time e.g user logged in at15-01-2015 from 8:00am to 4:00pm
Is any query, script or any tool available?
Waiting for reply please

You can identify the last logon date and time using my script here: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-Active-Directory-User-bbcdd771
If you would like to get back in time and see when the user did a logon / logoff then you need to have auditing enabled. Once done, you can records from Security log in the event viewer: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/98cbecb0-d23d-479d-aa65-07e3e214e2c7/manage-active-directory-users-logon-logoff-events
I have started a Wiki about how to track logon / logoff and it can help too: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20422.record-logon-logoff-activities-on-domain-servers-and-workstations-using-group-policy.aspx

Tracking who Downloads items in an Apex applicaiton.

I have an application that stores documents in Blobs. The document is displayed with a serial number, the document name, and a column with the download link. The customer wants to track when and which users download each document. I can figure out the SQL INSERT statement, but I'm not sure how to have it do the INSERT action when the download link is clicked. I'm sorry if this is a bad explanation, if you need anything clarified I'll try my best.

Here is a blog done by Martin Giffy D'Souza maybe it shows you what you need? :

Difference between refresh of Report in Active Viewer and Active Studio BAM

We use the Oracle SOA Suite with BAM (on Linux) 10.3.2.0.
I have 2 questions:
1. We have made a report with several items and in Active Studio --> Select Report --> Edit mode --> I see the correct values for my report. When I open my report in Active Viewer I see data from yesterday. The report is not being refreshed. How can I change this, what is causing this difference between Active Viewer and Active Studio in Edit mode??
2. One of my items in my report always gives the message: opening (only in Active Viewer, in Active Studio/edit mode I can see the correct data).

Is your popup blocker turned off? I can only imaging that the popup blocker may be keeping the Live Data window from appearing and updating the dashboard. Active Studio doesn't do a Live update, but an update on report load.

Content Tracker Reports Query file modification issue - Custom Report

Hi All,
I was trying to generate a custom report using Content Tracker. I was successful in doing so. However, I found that sometimes it does not pick up the updated query file of Content Tracker reports.
I made a change in my query:
from SELECT * FROM Users to
SELECT dname FROM Users
the change is written on the file but when i generated the report from C.T. UI, it's still showing me the old results having all the columns. Tried bouncing the server as well, but no use.
I also added a new query 24 hrs back (as SELECT count(*) As UsersNum FROM Users), it's still not recognizing it and giving error as Failure of server APACHE bridge: No backend server available for
connection: timed out after 10 seconds or idempotent set to OFF;
and the log says,
Unable to execute service SCT_GET_DOCUMENT_INFO_ADMIN and function sctExecuteQuery.
Unable to create the result set for query '(null)'. SQL statement to execute cannot be empty or null
What could be the resolution of this issue?
I am using UCM 11g + SSXA.

Server bounce.
Issue is not file update but some other issue, ongoing in another thread by Me.

IR Saved Report - Download to CSV downloads Primary Report

Hi there
I'm using Apex 4.1, I login to my Apex application NOT using the developer interface (the developer buttons are not visable at the base of the page) as an end user would see.
If I run an IR report and then create a filter on the Primary report the report runs OK. I then click Actions -> Download and then Download the report output to a CSV file (correctly filtered) to a Excel spreadsheet. I then Save this report giving the report a Name and Description. I then logoff from the Apex application. So far so good.
I then login back on to my Apex Application. When I choose and run the Saved Report (described above - not the Primary report) the saved report runs correctly (applying the correct filter condition), HOWEVER when I then click on Actions - Download I seem to get the Primary report downloaded as a CSV file into my Excel spreadsheet - the filter condition that is applied to the saved rerport is ignored for the Downloaded CSV file. The File Downloaded is a new CSV file generated in Apex as reported in my Firefox 'Downloads' list.
Does anyone know if this is a Bug or have I not set up the IR correctly.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Mehabub,
Many thanks for the quick response.
Did you test this in version 4.1 of Apex? I logged on to Oracle's 4.2 Early Adopter Beta Site and did the same and the IR works fine! Maybe it's a strange problem in 4.1 although I doubt it as with such a problem there would be a lot more noise on this forum. Could this be related to the 'theme' that I'm using? As the theme I'm using was origionally developed for Apex 3.2 and I don't think IR reports were around in 3.2?There is a good chance that it has to do with the theme or the upgrade from Apex 3.2. Interactive reports existed in 3.2 also user defined reports. But a lot of changes were made to the IR logic since 3.2 (introduction of multple standard reports, etc.).
I just tested your case in my Apex 4.1.1 version in an application that was also upgraded from 3.2. And the data was stored correctly into a csv file.
But it is useing one of the standard themes that was also updated.
Did you set the compatibility mode of your application to 4.1?
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_util.htm#AEAPI2329
begin
apex_util.set_compatibility_mode(<application id>, '4.1');
commit;
end; Just because the environment is Apex 4.1 does not mean you application runs in 4.1. mode.

Error in running custom query from jspx(site) for Content Tracker Report

Hi All,
I want to generate a custom Content Tracker Report. I am able to do so from Content Tracker console, but when i try to invoke the service 'SCT_GET_DOCUMENT_INFO_ADMIN' or 'SCT_GET_DOCUMENT_INFO' with my custom query(which simply counts the number of rows in a table) from my jspx page, it gives the following error.
oracle.stellent.wcm.server.request.RequestException: Error
occurred in Content Server executing service
'SCT_GET_DOCUMENT_INFO_ADMIN'
Caused By: oracle.stellent.ridc.protocol.ServiceException: Unable to get
document info. Unable to execute service method 'sctExecuteQuery'. The
error was caused by an internally generated issue. The error has been
logged.
What could be the reason and the resolution?
Also, I know that i am invoking the service in the right way as custom report from query as 'select * from users' works fine from site.
P.S. I am using UCM 11g + SSXA

Things are turning weird. The below two queries work from jspx.
1. SELECT * FROM Users
2. SELECT dname FROM Users
But, the following query gives error (SQL is correct).
select dname, count(dname) from users group by dname

Link on a report to Activity

Hi,
I would like to create a report based on appointments.
I woudl like to have a link to open the record when user click on the subject or another field.
I succeed to do it with opportunity but it doesn't work for activities. Can you correct my link.
I explain how I did it for opportunities:
1) create a report and add opp Id, opp name, booking date
2) I go to opp Id column format and put "Custom text" and add the following text :
"http://"@[html]"<a target=_top href=https://secure-ausomxdsa.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/OpportunityDetail?OMTHD=OpportunityDetailNav&OMTGT=OpptyDetailForm&OpptyDetailForm.Id="@">*</a>"
--> When I run the report and click on the star ( * ), I go to the opportunity record
For appointment I would like to do the same thing. So I create a report with Activity ID, Subject, Start Date, Activity type = appointment
In activity ID column format I add the following custom text :
"http://"@[html]"<a target=_top href=https://secure-ausomxdsa.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/ApptDetail?OMTHD=ActivityDetailNav&OMTGT=ApptDetailForm&ApptDetailForm.Id="@">*</a>"
--> When I run the report and click on the star (*), I go to an appointment record that it looks like deleted or a record that I don't have access anymore.
Can you help me and explain how to solve the problem
Regards

Refuses to play tracks purchased/downloaded off itunes.

My ipod mini sometimes refuses to play only the tracks purchased/downloaded from itunes. The only way to rectify the fault is to either re-sync or restore to factory settings, however sometimes once this is done, 24 hrs later it starts refusing to play purchased/downloaded tracks again. Anyone experienced this problem or have any ideas? Many thanks.

See if this helps.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
