10g parameters for Task Audit System 9

Does anyone have suggestions regarding how to optimize for USER I/O during a metadata load the TASK_AUDIT table on 10g?
The ADDM report suggests Segment Tuning and Application tuning (Application tuning not possible since it is HFM code.) Looking at a relatively large application, the database improvement would be about 10 minutes if we could minimize the USER I/O waits for this table.
If you do not have a database recommendation, does anyone know if I can stop the logging of the task audit until metadata load completes?
Thanks,

We daily backup this table to a versionning table, and truncate it, it is much smaller and than the performance impact is much less
do you need to keep the whole thing??

Analysing Task Audit, Data Audit and Process Flow History

Hi,
Internal Audit dept has requested a bunch of information, that we need to compile from Task Audit, Data Audit and Process Flow History logs. We do have all the info available, however not in a format that allows proper "reporting" of log information. What is the best way to handle HFM logs so that we can quickly filter and export required audit information?
We do have housekeeping in place, so the logs are partial "live" db tables, and partial purged tables that were exported to Excel to archive the historical log info.
Many Thanks.

I thought I posted this Friday, but I just noticed I never hit the 'Post Message Button', ha ha.
This info below will help you translate some of the information in the tables, etc. You could report on it from the Audit tables directly or move them to another appropriate data table for analysis later. The concensus, though I disagree, is that you will suffer performance issues if your audit tables get too big, so you want to move them periodically. You can do this using a scheduled Task, manual process, etc.
I personally just dump it to another table and report on it from there. As mentioned above, you'll need to translate some of the information as it is not 'human readable' in the database.
For instance, if I wanted to pull Metadata Load, Rules Load, Member List load, you could run a query like this. (NOTE: strAppName should be equal to the name of your application .... )
The main tricks to know at least for task audit table are figuring out how to convert times and determing which activity code corresponds to the user friendly name.
-- Declare working variables --
declare @dtStartDate as nvarchar(20)
declare @dtEndDate as nvarchar(20)
declare @strAppName as nvarchar(20)
declare @strSQL as nvarchar(4000)

set @dtStartDate = '1/1/2012'
set @dtEndDate = '8/31/2012'
set @strAppName = 'YourAppNameHere'
--Get Rules Load, Metadata, Member List
set @strSQL = '

10g: Cube build performance:Waiting for tasks to finish

I had a question related to cube build performance. We see the following in the OLAPSYS.XML_LOAD_LOG prior to completion of parallel processing. So basically the loading of records etc. happens in 2-3 mins but then the part for "running jobs and started 6 finished 5 out of 6 tasks takes almost 30-40 minutes to complete". At this point in background it invokes the xmlloader and xml_parallel_loader. Any insights as to what specifically this steps do (solving of measures etc.) ? Also what we need to modify in terms of xml tag or anything else to improve these timings?

How to implement an audit system to track ADF applications DML activity?

We have implemented a complete audit system for one of our databases in order to keep history for every table and every value that has been modified.
The solution that we currently have can be split into two discrete parts:
1. Keeping a record of all connections to the db account
This is achieved via a table ‘user_sessions’ into which we record data for every session in the database with the help of on-logon and on-logoff triggers and some PL/SQL procedures:
Column name        | Explanation
-------------------|-------------------------------------------
US_ID              | PK, based on a sequence
SESSION_ID         | sys_context('USERENV' ,'SESSIONID')
USER_NAME          | sys_context('USERENV' ,'OS_USER')
LOGON_TIME         | when the on-logon trigger fires
LOGOFF_TIME        | when the on-logoff trigger fires
USER_SCHEMA        | sys_context('USERENV' ,'SESSION_USER')
IP_ADDRESS         | sys_context('USERENV' ,'IP_ADDRESS')
us_id |session_id |user_name|user_sschema|ip_address|logon_time               |logoff_time
560066|8498062       |BOB      |ABD         |1.1.1.2   |14-SEP-06 03.51.52.000000|14-SEP-06 03.52.30.000000
560065|8498061       |ALICE    |ABC         |1.1.1.1   |14-SEP-06 02.45.31.000000|14-SEP-06 04.22.43.0000002. Keeping the history of every change of data made by a given user
For every table in the account there is a corresponding history table with all of the columns of the original table plus columns to denote the type of the operation (Insert, Delete, Update), start and end time of validity for this record (createtime, retiretime) and us_id (which points to the user_sessions table).
The original table has triggers, which fire if there is an insert, update or delete and they insert the data into the corresponding history table. For every record inserted into a history table the us_id taken from the user_sessions table is recorded as well, allowing us to determine who has modified what data via the combination of these two tables.
Below is an example of a table TASKS, the history related triggers and the history table TASKS_HIST.
At the moment we are developing new applications by using ADF. Since there is an Application Module Pool and Database Connection Pool implemented for the ADF, one connection to the database could be used by several users at different moments of time. In that case the history records will point to a database session logged into the user_sessions table, but we will not know who actually modified the data.
Could you, please, give us a suggestion, how we can know at any moment of time who (which of our users currently making use of an ADF application) is using a given database connection?
By way of an example of the problem we are facing, here is how we solved the same problem posed by the use of Oracle Forms applications.
When the user starts to work with a given Forms application, user_sessions table would attempt to record the relevant information about he user, but since the db session was created by the application server, would in actual fact record the username and ip address of the application server itself.
The problem was easy to solve due to the fact that there is no connection pooling and when a user opens their browser to work with Forms applications, a db connection is opened for the duration of their session (until they close their browser window).
In that case, the moment when the user is authenticated (they log in), there is a PL/SQL procedure called from the login Form, which updates the record in the user_sessions table with the real login name and ip address of the user.

Frank,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked the site that you mentioned.
I try the sample “demo with bundle. The sample worked.
But it needed to start separately with the application.
I do not know how to build a help system with the existed web application developed with Jdeveloper (It has two projects: model and user-view-control. It is deployed on Oracle Application server).
Could you help me step by step to build the help system?

We are on HFM 11.1.2.1.103 and I am getting an error message when trying to export a users activity from the "Task Audit" menu. When I click on export a new tab comes up with the URL http://server:port/hfm/Administration/TaskAuditExport.asp and then I get an error message:
An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the
system administrator.
If you are the system administrator please click here to find out more
about this error.
And when I click on "here" it takes me to this URL Running Classic ASP Applications on IIS 7 and IIS 8 : The Official Microsoft IIS Site
Any thoughts on how I resolve this would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Jason

SDM,
Thank you for the response. This is helpful and I was able to extrac the data, but this utility doesn't give you the ability to focus on one users' activity as you can from the web. Why is it not recommended to use the web and is there a way to get that working properly?
The reason the utility is not working for my purpose is I want to view a few users' activities over the last year and when I run the utility it gives me everyone and extracts the data across numerous files, which is not particularly easy to work with.
Thanks.

Can we use replication usings oracle 10g steams for EBS r12 database?

HI,
We are using EBS 12.0.6 and database 10.2.0.3 on linux 32-bit/64-bit OS (Multi-Node env).
Actually We want to decrease the load of custom reports on actual production system, so thats why
we need reports server and as my past experience I had used oracle streams for replication with simple schema based replication and tablespace replication also.
So, please educate me, that can i used the oracle 10g streams for EBS schemas like APPS, GL ,INV, PO, ONT, ODM, AR, AP, CM etc?
Please provide us the above related env docs and road Map.
If you have any other way to create the Report Server?
Regard,
Fayaz Ahmed

Hi,
We are not in a position to upgrade the EBS from 12.0.6 to 12.1, because this is lengthy task, but we had already tested technically it in test env, but functional testing in pending.
Now we want to immediate solution if possible, because this is production?
So, please suggest another.
regards

Maintaining distribution model for ALE audit.

hi,
I have to create a bcakground job in the receiver system to periodically send back the audit data to the sender system. To do the same i need to maintain a distribution model for ALe audit. For doing so i don't have the modal view XIDEMO in BD64. How to implement. Also in SM59 while maintaing RFC destination it says U6D_700 no longer exists. Please suggest how to get it resolved.

Hello,
You can create your own model view in BD64. In the model view add message type ALEAUD with sender as your system name and logical system of your reciever.
Also configure the Partner profile in WE20, with outbound parameter ALEAUD and IDoc Type ALEAUD01.
Schedule the program RBDSTATE with the required parameters.

users can not log into Infoview.
The work around is to restart the Server Intelligence Agent (sia.exe)

Query on HFM Task Audit

Hi,
We have a requirement to check the user activities related to changes made in dataforms/data grids (or specifically changes made to items in Manage Documents)
Are these activities logged in the task audit? If so could you please let me know the activity code.
Thanks in advance,
Aparna

In your question you use the term "activities", but you have not articulated which ones you need to capture. HFM's task audit does not capture every task that is available in the system, so you should look through the listing of activities that it does capture. Opening and entering data into a web form for example, is not captured in Task Audit.
If instead you are implying changes made to data via a web form, then you are asking about Data Audit, which is very different. Data Audit is dependent upon your own enablement of Account/Scenario combinations in metadata. Each account that is enabled for Data Audit, for the relevent scenarios that have been enabled, will be inlcuded in the data audit report anytime a user changes data for that account.

HFM Task Audit Logs

Hi All,
HFM Version 9.3.1. When you click on administration>task audit, there are a bunch of tasks which can be auditied. I am trying to pull the last logon information from this and apparently the file is to large to export.
Where are these logs stored? Are they in SQL or on the app server somewhere? Does anyone every clear these logs? Will NOT doing so affect performance in any way.
Thanks,
Greg

Greg,
Logs are stored in the HFM relational database. The table name is <AppName>TaskAudit where <AppName> is the name of the HFM app.
By default, the data in this table is not trimmed and it can grow quite large.
From an overall systems level, I doubt the size of this table is going to negatively impact system performance unless you are trying to work with that table directly. ;)
It is not uncommon for people to make a script (schedule task) that executes a sql query that cleans up the table except for critical pieces of information such as system loads, etc.
The tricky fields in the table are ActivityCode and the time fields. ActivityCode correlates with the activity (i.e. Logon, Consolidation, etc). It is not something that is advertised that I know of; however, I created a list by analyzing the program. The list will follow at the bottom of this post.
The times are a bit tricky as you need to convert them so that they are "human readable". In SQL, I use the follow statement to convert them to a human readable time/date : cast(endtime-2 as smalldatetime)
Hope this helps.

HFM TASK AUDIT TABLE

We are using HFM system 9 and we notice that the size of the task audit table has exceeded the normal limits,we would like to take a backup of data before deleting the records.Is this possible?
is the deletion of records recommeneded or truncation of the table.How do we take a backup of the table,can we make HFM web retrieve from this table when needed?
Does anyone know how to convert the float type(starttime,endtime) to date datatype?
Thanks in advance

Here is the query I use against the task audit table to get my users by day.. Our DBA came up with the code to convert the starttime field using CASt(convert(VARCHAR
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ActivityUserID) as NumUsers
, CAST(convert(VARCHAR,CAST(starttime AS DATETIME),106) AS DATETIME) AS [DAY]
FROM dbo.LAUREATE_TASK_AUDIT
WHERE CAST(convert(VARCHAR,CAST(starttime AS DATETIME),106) AS DATETIME) >= '8/1/2009'
GROUP BY CAST(convert(VARCHAR,CAST(starttime AS DATETIME),106) AS DATETIME)
ORDER BY CAST(convert(VARCHAR,CAST(starttime AS DATETIME),106) AS DATETIME)
What I noticed with our database (SQL 2000 SP4, HFM 9.2.1) is that the date conversion is off by 2 days. So user activity for today shows as 2 days in the future when I query the table. I logged this with Oracle but no resolution. For what I need, it works fine.
We have made a backup of the table in the past and truncated the existing table. Your SQL DBA can do that easily.Then yes you can just query either table as needed.
