APPS account usage tracking

A requirement from client:
Track all the developers who are using apps account to login to EBS database(ex, sqlplus apps/****@TEST, or using any tool like, Toad, Sql Developer etc.).
We find from v$session we can retrieve the required information, but v$session provides information for only the current session, whereas the client is asking us to provide a Summary Report of all the APPS account login (the developers who have used APPS user to log into the database) for the entire day by EOD (Say, 7:00 pm)
How can we track/prepare this type of summary report? Need help on this.

Summary Report of Apps account usage

I have a client requirement wherein by EOD everyday I need to submit a kind of summary report of the Apps account usage in our PROD/DEV/UAT ERP databases.
The report should contain information like how many times the Apps account has been used by users( technical support team) to log into the databases, and also it should the client machine IP address from where the connections were made to the databases using Apps account (i.e login as apps/<appspwd> in the database). The report format be approximately as given below,
Client Machine IP No.of Login (Apps account)
192.168.0.1 1
192.168.0.2 4
192.168.0.3 2
etc...
The above information states that the client machine IP 192.168.0.1 has logged into the database using apps user credentials once, similarly client machine with IP 192.168.0.2 has used the apps account to log into the database 4 times and so on...
I am not sure if any such report can be created and in the specified format.
Need help and suggestions regarding the same.

Pl post details of OS, database and EBS versions.
There is no seeded script or report that will provide the information you need. You will need to create this report, along with an auditing framework that will capture the information you need in the report.
Best practice is that the APPS password in UAT and PROD instances should only be know to the DBA team and no one else, and should be changed frequently.

I am trying to find an app that will track the usage on my iphone with times and dates to see what was accessed on my phone when I was away from it and what if anything was done eg deleted messages viewed facebook etc?

Hi! I am trying to find an app that with track everything that is done on my phone with times and dates? im not really woried about call usage and texts sent I need it to view what has been done - for example:
Messages received
Messages deleted
Facebook viewed
Messages viewed
Internet viewed and what?
I just have an issue with someone using my phone - I used to track this through double clicking the home button and roughly knowing in what order I had been on things but they have sussed this one!
Thank you!!

No way to do that on a non-jailbroken iPhone. Why don't you just passcode protect your phone? That way no one but you can use it...unless they know your passcode.

I am a new user with i pad, I have an i phone with the app account tracker on it, I cannot get the information off my phone onto my i pad why?

How to create account in Oracle DB which has all privilege of APPS account

Hi,
I am looking for the way to create user/account which can do all activities likes APPS account? That means, it can compiles forms, reports,...
The reason of that is we want to control the developers. Currently, developers is using APPS account, and they can mess up database instance. So the idea is we will create personal account for each developer, then we can track back if something happens in database. Of course, developer can only access DEV instance only.
Thanks in advance.

ORA-09100 specified length too long for its datatype with Usage Tracking.

Hello Everyone,
I'm getting an (ORA-09100 specified length too long for its datatype) (a sample error is provided below) when viewing the "Long-Running Queries" from the default Usage Tracking Dashboard. I've isolated the problem to the logical column "Logical SQL" corresponding to the physical column "QUERY_TEXT" in the table S_NQ_ACCT. Everything else is working correctly. The logical column "Logical SQL" is configured as a VARCHAR of length 1024 and the physical column "QUERY_TEXT" is configured as a VARCHAR2 of length 1024 bytes in an Oracle 11g database. Both are the default configurations and were not changed.
In the the table S_NQ_ACCT we do have record entries in the field "QUERY_TEXT" that are of length 1024 characters. I've tried various configuration such as increasing the the number of bytes or removing any special character but without any sucess. Currently, my only possible workaround is reducing the "Query_Text" data entries to roughly 700 characters. This makes the error go away. Additional point my character set to WE8ISO8859P15.
- Any suggestions?
- Has anyone else ever had this problem?
- Is this potentially an issue with the ODBC drive? If so, why would ODBC not truncate the field length?
- What is the maximum length supported by BI, ODBC?
Thanks in advance for everyones help.
Regards,
FBELL

I beleieve I have found the issue for at least one report.
We have views in our production environment that call materialized views on another database via db link. They are generated nightly to reduce load for day-old reporting purposes on the Production server.
I have found that the report in question uses a view with PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION. In the remote database, this is a VARCHAR2(1995 Bytes) column. However, when we create a view in our Production environment that simply calls this materialized view, it moves the length to VARCHAR2(4000).
The oddest thing is that the longest string stored in the MV for that column is 71 characters long.
I may be missing something here.... But the view that Discoverer created on the APPS side also has a column length for the PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION column of VARCHAR2(4000) and running the report manually returns results less than that - is this a possible bug?

Error with OBIEE Usage Tracking

Hi,
I have set up Usage Tracking in Oracle BI Enterprise Edition with the Direct Insert Option. I have created the S_NQ_ACCT table in an Oracle schema that is referenced as a connection pool in the Oracle BI Repository physical layer. When I run my requests from Oracle BI Answers and check my server logs (NQServer.log), I get the following message:
[59048] Usage Tracking encountered an insert statement execution error. This error has occurred 9 times and resulted in the loss of 9 insert statements since this message was last logged.
[nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: 1456 message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01456: may not perform insert/delete/update operation inside a READ ONLY transaction.
[nQSError: 16015] SQL statement execution failed.

Thanks for the response.
You're right. The response seems to imply that the account does not have the authorization. However, the account I am using to access the database from OBIEE Repository owns the schema where the S_NQ_ACCT table is stored. So I am puzzled as to why this response is generated.

Does any app exist to track the history of iphone

is there any app which can track the history of the apps opened or used in the iphone ?

Yes, that's the size of the incoming update.
You can check the space each the app currently on the phone takes by going Settings / General /Usage / Storage. Tap on Show all Apps if necessary. Tap on each app name for more details (app size and data size).

My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'. Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6. I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works. Her phone says its on. ???

My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'. Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6. I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works. Her phone says its on but when I try and locate it from either my phone or laptop it shows it offline. Any suggestions. It's my only peace of mind! Thanks!

Does she have her own iCloud account? You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone". So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account. Is that what happened in your case?

Usage Tracking for BI Publisher

We need to track Oracle BI EE Suite user's activity. There is Usage Tracking option in exSiebel products making possible to track what and when user did. It's needed to do similar audit for BI Publisher.
It's works "by itself" for Publisher reports built on top of BI Server infrastructure. Usage Tracking does all the job. But what should we do to audit reports using direct sql requests to the database?
PS
We have sucurity model integrated with Oracle BI EE Server

Here is an interview with Kurt Wolff, which is one of the original OBIEE developers from the nQuire days:
http://obibb.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/obibb-%E2%80%93-interviews-kurt-wolff/
This is particularly relevant of how I feel about OBIEE 11g so far...
"I don’t really know if there are any new features that are important to me in my current work or not. There may be features that help Oracle sell more product, but that’s different.
Over two years ago I submitted a list of 20 “little” enhancements that, as someone who on a daily basis worked developing analytic apps with OBIEE, I thought would be really beneficial. They were “little” in the sense that I thought the dev team could knock them all out in less than three weeks’ time. Seriously big impact with seriously little work.
Instead, we’re getting what appears to be a major re-write of the product, which raises questions in my mind about compatibility, unlearning, and new bugs. What I know about new features – well, they’re not so compelling. Sure, if you have a need to integrate Essbase with your other data, that’s good. But in my present situation, it’s irrelevant, and I’m planning on taking a lot of time to evaluate the new release before moving ahead with it."

Google Apps account now showing Unknown Error when trying to sign in

This is a post I made over at webosnation.com, but no one knows what's going on over there (but a handful of people are having the same problem).
For some reason my main email account has decided to fly off a cliff on both my FrankenPre2 and my TouchPad. The things I've tried from searching around the net:
-Changing my password
-Making sure the new password does NOT use any special characters
-Removing the account from my Pre and re-adding it
-Disabling multiple sign-on from the Google side (I had it linked to the account I use for Google Voice)
-Removing all patches from my Pre
None of these things have had any effect. When I put a wrong password in it comes back with an invalid password error. The correct password bring back an Unknown Error.
The funny thing is I have a 2nd Google Apps account set up on both devices for work, and that hasn't had any problems. What makes this even weirder is my friend who owns the Google Apps domain I'm on has a TouchPad with his account set up on it and it works fine. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!! I don't have a credit card nor do they gove debit cards to foreigners here, or at least it's really hard so I'm using my bank at home and still have a debit there. My phone number is 8 numbers plus the country code which is strange! Another thing is I was given a phone email that I was told to use for texting but I'm not sure how that works!! It's so frustrating too because no one speaks English here and I'm not very tech savvy. God bless you if you can help :)

whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store

I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage. I am out of room, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB.

I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage. I am out of space, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB. I used to have about a dozen movies. One day they were just gone and couldn't sync back on. I used to think it was a syncing problem, but it is storage. I have done a hard restart. I have deleted some junk from "memory". I have tried to "clean up" my iPad, but I am missing a ton of space. Is there a trash can that I need to empty? Are my movies still stored but inaccessible? I have read forum posts about an "other" category in stoarge which I don't see on my iPad. Not sure what else to try.

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
An "other" larger than aboutn 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up

How can I open an Apple App account for downloading free apps? I will not let me open a new account without a sim card.

I just bought a used 1st Generation Apple iPad 64 GB, 3G. How can I open an Apple App account? I am trying to download a free app and it says I have to have an account, however, everytime I try to set up a new account I can fill only fill out some of the information but then the screen goes black and I cannot proceed with the account. At one point it said "no sim card" and I am not sure where one would go if I had one. Do you need a sim card to download free apps? Why won't it let me set up an Apple Account? Any suggestions?

I can think of no reason at all why you need a sim card to creat an Apple ID. Try this first - reboot the iPad and reset the memory.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Afte the iPad starts up again, follow the directions in this support article - exactly - to creat the account without a credit card.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
IF ... You are signed into another Apple ID on the iPad you will have to sign out of that ID in order to create a new one. Settings>Store - you can sign out there.
You MUST try to download a free app in order to start the process off correctly. If you were using an email address with another ID that you already created, you will have to have another email address to associate the new ID with.

When i bought my mac I used an old app account that i do not remember it's password, so i had to open a new one but i can't updates my programs, so what should i do !

Better to use the original Apple ID used when you set up your Mac.
