Transaction usage report in 4.6B

Hi,
I'm trying to get a transaction usage report of the last 3 months out of 4.6B.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
This information is easier to get to in 4.7, but I can't find it in 4.6B.
Please help.
Thanks

Thank you Ashley!
What you have done in your systems in very admirable - although I know some folks who claim that if you lock down people's access to such an extent that they become inflexible (e.g. cannot start arbitrary reports of their choice)... then it motivates them more to find those loop-holes you refer to which appear from time to time, instead of keeping them blissfully ignorant. I am not one of those folks though, and don't believe in "security in obscurity" because I am sure that someone who enters the system with malice or fraudulent intentions will not care about it either...
2 "gotchas" with reports are those intended only for background jobs and therefore don't have a transaction code to start them, necessarily. I guess it is not that difficult to create one, and there is also the possibility to debug programs scheduled in SM37 using the job-debugger (JDBG).
The other is that some standard reports are delivered without a transaction code to start them, or at least none which is obvious. Again, I guess one could easily create a transaction to start the report if there is intention to use it periodically.
I think much of this new awareness (and legal requirements) came long after the ABAP reporting itself was invented, and this causes some teething problems and a transition phase in the SAP world.
In very early days, there was nothing to stop a user from running a report... (except the checks in the report itself). Those were "the good old days"...
Then came SA38 for ABAP reporting purposes and ABAP itself (as it's German acronym hints at) was for customers to create additional reporting outputs... (ha ha ha :-).
The best (and most consistent) security is still that each program (including function modules, particularly if they are remote enabled and methods) perform the the correct authority-checks which are niether too weak nor too strict, because this mitigates many of the risks when answering the "what if the user can break out of the tcode?" question. This is one of the reasons why I am a big BAPI fan (see transaction BAPI).
To me it seems that the greater the risk of starting reports is percieved to be, the less confidence in the quality of the programming is hiding behind it. This is true of programs from all name ranges.
My 2 cents,
Julius

  • RE:Transaction usage report not updating.

    Hi All,
    I am on 5.2 SP9 and I am facing an issue wherein the transaction usage report is not getting updated by the lateast report. To illustrate, I created a role with transaction PFCG and assigned it to a user. Now, when the user executes the PFCG, the report should be updated and it should show that this user also executed PFCG today, which isn't the case.
    Would like to know if anyone has a clue how to resolve the same. As in, did i miss out on anything which needs to configured/done before running this report.
    Thanks a tonne in advance.
    Regards,
    Hersh.

    Hello Joy,
    Thanks for your reply but the transaction usage reports I am mentioning here are actuallyu the transaction usage reports for "Role Expert" not for "FireFighter".

  • Problem in Transaction Usage report in Virsa toolbox in virsa FF

    We have recently installed virsa firefighter.
    When we run Transaction Usage report in Virsa toolbox,selection by " Transaction",it gives all the transaction run in the particular client till date and not just the tcode for which we want the report.
    For can be the reason for such a result?

    Hi,
    This may be possible if the trace is activated in the TA ST01. But it is not advisable to keep this trace for a prolonged period as it has an adverse effect in the system performance.
    For a smaller user base, u can enable the security log in TA SM19, The report can be pulled from TA SM20.
    Hope this helps.

  • Activating action usage report in RAR

    Hi,
    I want to configure the Action usage report in AC 5.3 RAR. However after reading all of the configuration documents I am still not clear on the steps to achieve this.
    Specifically how is the transaction data gathered?
    Is there a job that runs on the SAP system?
    I have looked at the options for configuration under alerts generate jobs, however I do not want to gather data on transaction related to a specific risk, I want to gather data on all transactions used. I cannot see an option to set this up.
    I want to use this report for remediation purposes.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
      Action usage job runs on RAR (Java front-end) side and basically, collects the data from SAP system and populates the RAR database.
    Alert is only supposed to work at SoD risk level or critical action risk level. The reason why SAP doesn't allow you to generate alert for all the transactions as that would be too much of data.

  • RAR 5.3 - Action Usage Reports

    Hello,
    In regards to the Action Usage reports in RAR 5.3 (one for users and the other for roles/profiles):
    1) Does this report pull information on dialog and non-dialog users?
    2) Is there any further documentation on these reports? The user guide doesn't elaborate much...
    Thanks!
    Jes

    Thank you for your response.
    We have actually just begun testing this particular report to review/verify results. One issue we're seeing however is that this Action Usage report for users is only returning results by system, not by client. What I mean by that is this: we have several sandbox clients connected to RAR 5.3 (an SB 120 and and SB 500 - so two clients from the same system, along with various other clients from other systems). When we run the Action Usage report specifically for SB 120, we are getting action usage for SB 120 and SB 500, even though we did not include SB 500 in the parameters. The same results show up when running this report in SB 500.
    So what we are seeing is that this report is lumping all transactions from a system together instead of separating them out by client. I am unable to find any detailed documentation on this so could anyone explain to me if this is possibly a bug or am I missing something?
    Thanks!

    uasage  logging database for uasage data being transported. The data is available.
    Please provide pointers on what needs to be done.

    Hi Nabhendu,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not use popularity trend after you migrated SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013.
    In SharePoint 2013, the analytics functionality is a part of the search component. There is an article for troubleshooting SharePoint 2013 Web Analytics, please take a look at:

  • Transaction or report for showing partitions and total amount in BW 3.5?

    Hello,
    I want to fulfill a unicode conversion of a BW 3.5 system and found out, that this system has some tables with plenty of table partitions (700-1200). To calculate the table splitting it would be very helpful if there is a transaction or report where I can enter the name of a table and the result will be the amount of partitions and the calculated sum of all partitions including the header table.
    Does this exist in a SAP BW 3.5 system?!
    If not, are there useful alternatives?
    Thanks in advance

    Hey you two,
    Yes, I know already DB02 and I used it to show a list with object type "TABLE PART*". But then, I get a list of ca. 4900 table partitions. I just want to have a list looking like:
    /BIC/B000637000      155 Partitions   106,0 Gb Whole Size
    I don't want to know the partitions themselves, but the amount and the header table - and of course the whole size. Is that also possible with DB02?

    Kedalene

    Hi Kedalene Chong
    ou don't need a list of variables to use them. Simply go to View -> System Information so whenever you hover around a field with the cursor, in the left bottom corner of the screen you will see the details of that screen along with the variable number if it is a variable.
    So you will see something like:
    [Form=139 Item=29 Pane=0 Variable=91]
         -> in this case the variable number is 91 - use it in Print Layout Designer.
    So you can just use the variable specified in these details. When creating the print layout, just go back to your form, stand on a field with your mouse and you will see what variable to use.
    Also Check with the PLD Variables Note No 867048...

    Hello,
    When I am opening usage reports under Site Settings > Site Administraton > Popularity Trends, i cannot see any data after 9th May 2014. It stopped working and all the numbers coming to zero after 9th may.

  • Usage Report Results Confusion

    Hi Everyone,
    Here is some background before I ask my question:
    I set up a hierarchy and populated it VM entities no problem.  I set up my own basic pricing model that was based on "Actual Usage" and had no base rates, no fixed costs, no other costs, and no rules associated with it.  I ran a couple usage reports using this pricing model.
    The first usage report I generated on my hierarchy was for the time frame 11/06/2012  to  11/06/2013   (1 year) and the report produced results which I looked okay.  I only asked for it to show CPU, Memory, and Storage.
    So I my second usage report on the same hierarchy and for this one the time frame was set for 05/06/2013  to  11/06/2013  (6 months) and the the results produced almost exactly DOUBLE the usage for EVERY resource.
    I thought this was strange considering the time frames overlap and if anything the YEAR time span would have to have at least the same usage stats if not higher than the 6 month time span it includes.
    So, my question is, did I mess up the pricing model or billing policy somewhere to have this happen?  Or does the usage report generate on an average of some sort?
    I just can't figure out how this is possible.
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    Hi Richie,
    Can you please attach the pdf reports for the same issue and tell about the problematic VMs. I will try to give you an explanation for the same.

  • Usage Report and Audit Log report showing different totals

    I am trying to understand the differences displayed in two similar reports. The first report is an 'Audit Log' Report and it is displaying the number of Resource Account creations over a time period. The second report is a Usage Report using the exact same criteria (objectType = Resource Account and Action = Create). The totals I get back are VASTLY different. Can anyone explain? Is this a known bug?

    Hi,
    In any report we don't show the storage policies information. In Cost report if the storage policies have different rate factors then we will show the split for the storage information. But in usage report , rate factors will not be applicable as we don''t show the cost details. Hope this clarifies your question. Please let us know if you need more information.
    Thanks,
