Action Usage by User report

How does the Action Usage by User report work? Its one of the miscellanenous reports under the security reports on the Informer tab. Do I have to run a background job to gather this data? If I try to run the report now I don't get any data even though I know a transaction has been run during the query period.
Thanks for any help

No RFC Errors.  Re: other jobs, they all run successfully.  Alert Generation is the only one failing, and it started failing only a few days ago - it has run successfully before - and the settings/config on the GRC side haven't been changed (so the only possibility is a change on the ECC side).
However, the message server that's configured in the connector (and that's working) actually points to the central services instance.  In SPM, we had an issue earlier where this name wouldn't work and so we had to use the primary app server name, and then SPM worked fine.  Do you think that with RAR, and this report, even though everything else is working fine, the error on the alert generation may be associated with the server name?

  • RAR 5.3 SP8 - Action Usage by User Report - Change Start Date?

    Hello,
    When we run the report "Action Usage by User" in RAR, it shows a default "Start Date" of 1/12/2009. RAR put this in there on its own. We never got the Action Usage Generation Job working correctly until a few weeks ago (we had some issues that SAP addressed and then it took time to get resources to go back and resolve some things on our side). Since we've only had the background job that pulls STAD data running successfuly since 10/3/2009 (it runs every 6 hours), we'd like to change the default "Start Date" on that Report Screen to be 10/3/2009. This way, users are not confused into thinking when they run the report and leave the date set as 1/12/2009, they are getting tcode usage data since that date. Because they're not getting tcode usage since that date. Our records really only go back to 10/3/2009.
    We could instruct our users to change the date every time but we feel it'd be easier if we just changed the date so they didn't have to worry about it.
    Does anyone know how we could tweak this? What table that default date would be under? How could we modify?
    Thanks!!
    Jes

    The table where that date is is VIRSA_CC_USAGECTL
    If you use the debugger tool, you'll see there's only 1 row in this table. You'll find the FROMDATE, TODATE, and FILENAME columns. I FILENAME column should be null.
    Row FROMDATE TODATE FILENAME
    1 2009-01-12 9999-12-31
    If possible, could you confirm you are seeing similiar information?
    The issue we are having is trying to figure out how to update this table...we need that FROMDATE to be 2009-10-03.
    Thanks!

  • Help with action usage by user setup

    I am trying to setup the action usage and have been running the action log background job for 3 day now but i am not seeing any vlaues when i run the action usage by user report. Is there a way i can check if i have confiqured system correctly or even check if my backend systems ST03N is working correctly?

  • Action Usage Report In RAR

    Hello Everyone,
    I have scheduled a job for alert generation in RAR periodically every 1 day and after the job is completed successfully. I want to get the report for Action Usage for Users it is giving me data upto September 2010, and nothing after this date. I appreciate if somebody can provide me with an answer.
    Regards
    Khan

    Hello Diego.
    First of all I would like to thank and appreciate for the your quick reply.
    Yes I have recently performed User\Role\Profile sync and also changed some parameters in RAR and in the JCo destinations and asked my Basis person to restart the instace.
    I would like to run it again but the problem which I am seeing is there is nothing getting written on the Alert folder created as /sap/sid/grc_qa3/qa3_alerts. The following are the parameters set in RAR --> Config --> Miscellaneous
    Background Job Spool File Location  = /sap/acd/grc_qa3
    Alert Log File Name and Location  = /sap/acd/grc_qa3/alerts
    We checked the spool file there is data written but not in the Alert log.
    Also can you explain what needs to be checked in the table "VIRSA_CC_ACTUSAGE" which I checked in debugger If you can elobrate a little more on this matter.

    Khan

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • AC 10 - Action Usage reports

    Hi
    I was wondering if anyone knows which SAP tables the GRC system gathers the Action Usage information from. We run the background job GRAC_ACTION_USAGE_SYNC to pull this data into the GRC system, and can then display it in the reports, but what tables in the backend system is used for this sync. Any information on this would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Will

    Hello Will,
    This one is for 5.3, but there shouldn't be big changes to 10 in this topic: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/stage/HowSTATfilesworkwithGRC5.3RARAlerts
    Basically, GRC works with STAT (statistical records) and CDHDR, CDPOS (change documents).
    In case of FF logs, this is described here:
    Note 1394281 - Superuser Privilege Management Log Report Content
    And also in page 41:

  • Dynamic Action based on Interactive Report Select List Value

    I'd like to perform a Dynamic Action when a user selects one of 3 options from a Select List within an Interactive Report:
    select APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(
    p_idx => 3,
    --p_value         =>   deptno,
    p_list_values => 'Copy;Copy,Delete;Delete,Export to PDF;Export to PDF',
    --p_attributes    =>   'style="color:red;"',
    p_show_null => 'YES',
    p_null_value => NULL,
    p_null_text => '--Select--',
    --p_item_id       =>   'f03_#ROWNUM#',
    p_item_id => 'P6_IR_SELECT_LIST',
    p_item_label => 'Label for f03_#ROWNUM#',
    p_show_extra => 'YES') "Actions"
    from dual;
    When building the Dynamic Action, I chose the following values from the Advanced wizard
    Event: Select
    Selection Type: DOM Object
    DOM Object: P6_IR_SELECT_LIST
    Condition: Equal to
    Value: "Delete"
    True Action: Execute Javascript Code: Alert('Here');
    Doesn't seem to be firing...can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance,
    John

    Hi,
    I am not sure if the "equal to" condition applies to a DOM object... after all, a DOM object can be anything (any HTML element) not only a field.
    Try using a javascript expression instead, like this:
    $v('P6_IR_SELECT_LIST')=='Delete'UPDATE: Sorry, I just tested and "equal to" condition works for DOM objects... should have tested before posting!

  • Can Actions Menu of Interactive Reports work with Custom Authentication?

    My testing is leading my to believe that Actions Menu do not work with Custom Authentication (but only work with APEX Authentication) in APEX 3.1.2? If that's true then is there a work around to this?
    Just to clarify, I've posted/asked this question twice before:
    1) Re: Actions Menu in Interactive Reports does not sort, filter, select cols etc
    2) Interactive Report actions don't work for users (i.e. for non-developers)
    But I've come to believe this is the main problem. I just don't know how to resolve/work around this?
    Thanks for any help.

    I haven't setup a sample because my custom authentication is using LDAP authentication. I'm not sure how I can replicate that on the samples server?
    I'm using LDAP authentication with a Page Sentry function. My further testing reveals that the Page Sentry function is setting the APEX variable user to NULL (ie blank) whenever there's any code in the Page Sentry function box. PL/SQL code as simple as
    BEGIN return TRUE; END;
    in the Page Sentry function box sets the "user" is set to <null>. When the Page sentry function box is left empty (no code specified) it sets the "user" properly after authentication against the specified LDAP directory.
    What all this has to do with Interactive Reports...
    It seems like when the user is NULL it messes-up Interactive Reports that are stored in the flows database. Although it shows the default report properly, but no runtime interactive actions (filtering, sorting, column break, etc.) work.
    Can someone please correct or confirm this?
    Thanks.

  • CSM 4.7 Report Manager User Report Issue

    Hi,
    Since we upgraded CSM 4.7 from 4.6, suddenly Report Manager is unable to generate VPN User Report, same as Connection Profile Report and VPN Device Usage Report, error message shows below. However, under FW-Summary Botnet (Top Destination, Top Services, Top Sources) those reports are fine. If I ran older than the time we upgraded 4.7 (like last week, last month) I could get the data, only right after the upgrade, no data since then. We opened a TAC ticket, but they could not resolve it and said it is a known bug, also applied patch which did not work either. In Event Manager, it has all the event logs, and Configuration Manager seems to show Event Manager setting correct as well. Anyone has encounter this issue and has solution? Please help, thank you!
    ***Error Message***
    No Records Found
    - Event Manager may be down or no data received from Device

  • System usage per user

    Hi Security Experts,
    Our company have a SAP system version ECC 5.0 and right now we are making an analysis related to the quantity of users and the quality of the system usage per user, so the question here is if there's a way to know how much resources does an user consume? this is, time connected, transactions used. This is in order to separate the occasional users from the operating users?
    I'll appreciate a lot your help.
    Best Regards,
    Erik Espinosa

    Hi
    ST03N is your solution.
    There you find every minute detail for performance in the SAP system.
    You can check User Profiles for days , weeks and months individually to check the response times, data executions from the database etc.
    You can also find the processes/ transactions that take the highest memory consumption.
    Apart from this, an earlywatch report from the system would also assist you in such an analysis.
    I hope this helps

  • How to call an action when the user selects a radiobutton

    Hai
    PLease help me in providing the information.
    In my Project i have two radio buttons as
    New
    Asssessment
    when the user selects new button, i want to automatically call an action in the controller(.jpf file)
    Simalarly when he selects the other radio button i need to call a separate action in the controller.
    Remember i dont have the submit button.
    I want to dynamically call an action when the user selects the radio button.
    i dont have any field inthe radio button which actually takes action as an attribute .
    please provide me the necessary

    Hi,
    You can use JavaScript to call the action in interest upon the Radio Button Element Being Selected.Should be simple, and if your controller is part of the portlet dont forget to use the jpfScopeId to asscoiate the controller instance with the one in the portlet.
    Let me know if you have any further questions.
