Ending a Session of a Fire Fighter ID

Hi,
One of my user has used the fire fighter yesterday and logged off.
Now if he logs in to fire fighter using /n/virsa/vfat, the fire fighter id still shows that its being used by the same user ID.
I have checked SM04 to end the users session.
I can see the user ID logged in, but i cannot see the Fire Fighter ID in SM04.
I clicked on the user ID and then clicked on the sessions, to find the transactions to end. But the transaction /n/virsa/vfat is not there.
Then i tried in AL08 and it shows that the fire fighter ID is still active.
And also there are not logs in SM12 for both user ID's
But how can i end the fire fighter ID's session now.

SM04 will show the list of users in the application server you are logged in. Check the application server in AL08 where the user is logged in. Then in SM51 you change your application server. Then in SM04 you will find the FF user. Here you need to kick off this user.

What is FIRE FIGHTER ID

hi folks,
can anybody tell me what is FIRE FIGHTER ID.

Hi,
When a user in a production system needs help from an IT
superuser, the application assigns a temporary ID that grants
the superuser broad yet regulated access. The superuser simply
logs on to the applications main console, where a new session
is opened under the Firefighter ID. Because the Firefighter ID is
preassigned, the superuser never needs to wait for approval
before solving a critical problem.
Ideally Firefighter should be used only for superuser access. The reasoning...
1) When the firefighter role is being used, the user cannot use his normal transactions
2) Only one user can use a firefighter role at a time
3) Complete log of firefighter role usage is available for review.
Many-a-times it is suggested to use firefighter role for performing the duties of the users on holiday. However I think it is not appropriate. Such users should be assigned normal roles for these duties for the limited period
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.

Changes History Report in Fire Fighter

Hi,
We have assigned FF ID to end user. By using that FF ID,user did some changes.
Ex: End user has used SU01 transaction and he has assigned SAP_ALL to his own id and some other users via FF ID.
When we checked the Log Reports in FF 5.3, we are able to the see only transaction details which he has used. But we are unable to find the changes which he has done by using SU01.
Please check and advice me how me can get that change history report in Fire Fighter.
Thanks & Regards,
KKRao.

Hi Harleen,
Retrieve Change Log option is already set as YES. But we are unable to get Changes History Report.
Please advice to me.

Requirement for Fire Fighter (ABAP)

Hi, i wonder anyone here can advice the sizing for Fire Fighter in the ABAP end? There is a sizing for the Web frontend, but i cant seem to find 1 for the ABAP end. Thanks for the help!
Cheers!!

Peter,
I found the hardware requirements to install Firefighter,
Machine = Server Based
Dual Processors = 2.4-3.2 GHz or faster
RAM = 2-4 GB
Hard Disk = 40 GB minimum (120 GB recommended)
I assume the server that you are installing this on has at least this enough space/memory available. Let me know if this helps if not I can see if I can find additional information

How to end user session correctly as sys or system user

Hi,
Database version Oracle 10.2.0.3
We have to end user sessions to update database content. We cant stop/shutdown the instance but we have to assure that some users are not logged on.
So we are looking for a solution to end some arbitrary user sessions as sys or system user without using the KILL USER SESSION option. We want to assure that the user sessions end correctly.
Is there a possibility or a command in Oracle 10g to end a user session correctly ?
Thanks for your assistance.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_2013.htm#i2053602
I think DISCONNECT SESSION Clause is what you are looking for.
Let us know if this is not the case.

Fire Fighter Report

Hello Experts,
I think I need some help on the Fire Fighter Reports.
My ultimate goal is to get the list of Reason and activity used by the users during the months of January2012 and December2011.
I was trying to execute the report "Reason/Activity Report" in SPM Tool Box in the transaction /n/virsa/vfat by giving the date range 01.01.2012 to 31.01.2012, i get the list but the column Reason Code is empty.
I tried to view the table /virsa/ffreact in SE16.
If i give input for FFKEY as 201112(December 2011), the result is "no table entries found for the specified key". But in the FF log report i can see users logged in during that period. Its the same case for the input *201201(January 2012).
But if i give the input as 201202(February 2012), i get the list.
Can anyone tell me the reason behind this.
Best Rgds,
Jaravuy

Hi Jaravuy,
Did you try to update the log?
/n/virsa/vfat
-->log information (F5)
-->update (shift+F1)
--> Choose a period where you are sure there has been activity
Once you do this, you can try again.
Best regards,
Félix

Change History in Fire Fighter Log Report.

Hi Experts,
Changes made by fire fighters were not recorded in the fire fighter log reports.I have gone thru a thread in the forum,there was mentioned that the issue had been reported to the SAP.Please let me know, if there is any update on the issue from SAP.
Thanks,
Mukesh

FF Logs can be recorded when the changes done with FF id. Without FF id no Support / IT user should be allowed.
If you want to change the configuration it has to be done via FireFigher only. Otherwise you get the log from SM20, if its been configured.

Closing/ending a session in jsp

Hi guys i need help ending my session. I am using session just for parameter passing, my webpages doesnt need login logout function.
These are my basic code:
page1.jsp
<%
String prodlinesel = request.getParameter("prod_line");
session.setAttribute( "sessprodline", prodlinesel );
%>
page2.jsp
<%= session.getAttribute("sessprodline") %>
how,when &where do i end my session ? thanks so much

You can use session.removeAttribute("sessprodline");
Calling session.invalidate() will invalidate the session.
Otherwise it disappears after it times out - normally after about 30 minutes of inactivity from that session.

How to create session and end the session in atg without using ootb

can anyone send the code for creating session(Login) and ending(Logout) session in atg without using ootb.
thankyou!

It is plain simple and is plain old request.getSession(false) and then invalidate the session , but why do you want to do it separately . ATG works behind scenes to associate lot of attributes to the session when log in happens and then deassociates them when log out happens , SessionManager component is also helpful in security , can you state why exactly would you want to do it?

Forcing End Of Sessions

          Hi,
          I am attempting to implement Session management functionality that will allow
          Administrators to view and if necessary end a User's or a given set of Users HTTP
          Sessions forcing them to re-logon. I am considering using HttpSession.invalidate()
          to end the sessions. This is fine so long as the user is not in the middle of
          a request but if in the middle of a request I am concerned that it will cause
          some nasty errors.
          Is there a better way of safely ending sessions and if a session is invalidated
          mid request will this end the request?
          Thanks in advance for any info or suggestions.
          Jim


          Hi,
          Thanks for that. I originally thought that invalidating the sessions was the neatest
          solution but based on the fact that it will kill any requests in midstream (probably
          not ideal for what I am doing) I think I will just update the User's session to
          indicate that they should re-logon. If the User executes another request they
          will be automatcially re-directed to logoff/re-logon.
          Thanks again for your help.

Fire Fighter Logs details in /n/virsa/vfat

Hi,
When i see the Fire Fighter logs through the Tcode /n/virsa/vfat, i am just able to know what tcode was used by a particular user and at what time and date.
Now if he has used SE38, i do not get the information of what report or program did he run in SE38. Similarly for SE16n I will not have the information of what table was used and modified.
So is it possible to know the complete details of the activity that user has done throught the FIreFighter.
Please help.
Regards
Anubhav

In the case of SE16 you can see the generated selection-screen program for that table being submitted both in STAD if you are fast enough (i.e. before the aggregation takes place) and in the security audit log (SM20N - which is actually the correct tool to rely on). They will show reports from SA38 etc as well.
However SE16N does not generate and submit report type programs so you cannot know which table was accessed. The only little "skidmark" it will leave behind is the memory id entries of the tabname selection parameter and SQL performance traces, but GRC does not access this data and it is unreasonable to assume that the history of these memory ids has been activated on the server side.
If worst comes worse you will be able to find out the table though - latest with a thumb-screw or bamboo under the finder nails...
Cheers,
Julius

Fire Fighter Table Log

Hi Gurus,
I have to give the fire fighter log for the audit....When i look into the fire fighter log table
Till the first step of firefighting Loggin in as Fire fighter is recordd on the Fire fighter id...But later all the activities has been Encrpted
ylTCyMUOWnb
ylTCyMUOWnb
ylTCyMUOWnb
ylTCyMUOWnb
ylTCyMUOWnb
Firefighter                   THis is the first Step as fire fighter later the field has been encrypted....
Please let me know ...

Hi Raghav,
   You can not download FF logs directly from the table as they are encrypeted. There are couple of ways to download FF logs.
1) You can download FF logs in text format from FF. Go to
FF -> Administration -> Archive -> Delete/Download Log.
2) If you have implemented web functionality of FF (SPM), you can download any of the logs directly from web tool.

Fire Fighter is missed in the FF log sent to controllers

Dear Experts,
We are at SP10, and using role based Fire Fighter.
We defined a FF role (e.g. FFrole001) and assigned this role to fire fighters.
We are facing the following problem:
If two fire fighters do the FF job at the same time, only one of fire fighters activity log will be sent to controllers for review.
(Please note that the activity log of both fire fighters has been captured, we can find it in the /n/virsa/vfat.)
Here is the detailed steps:
1. The FF roles were assigned to two Fire Fighter at the same time
2. Both of the Fire Fighters had performed some activities in system.
3. FF activity log report captured the activities performed by the two Fire Fighters.
4. But in the attachment in the email which was sent to FF controller, only one Fie Fighter was shown.
Much appriciate if any one can help on this.
Thanks!

Hi Tang,
Did you check the configuration settings for both the FF IDs.
Also, as a trail and error, to isolate the issue, can you check using only the 2nd FF ID for which the log was not sent. Ensure that the 1st FF ID is not used. This way you can identify whether the issue is with the FF ID or the configuration.

Raghu
