How to track changes to config tables?

Hi,
I would like to track the changes that have been done to the config tables and would like to know the name of the transport request which might have done this?
My SAP is on ECC 5.0
Can some one please help?
Thanks
Vijay

Hello Vijay,
In SPRO transaction, you have an option to view change logs , you can use this option.
In SPRO->SAP Reference IMG and then drill down to the customizing you are interested in.
Click on that node and click on the Change Log button.
The rest is self explanatory.
Later when you find the table name of the affected config.
You can take the table name and search for the object in transaction SE03 -> Objects in Request -> Search for Objects in Request

Siddhesh

Hi Gurus,
Could you please provide the steps of how to track changes on Infoprovider? I had 4 Infocubes (belonging to the same info area) that contains compressed data - but now when I tried to display the data, all the cube are empty - no data were aechived.
I would like to track any actions that were made on those cubes.
Thanks

thanks Kumar for helping me out here
I tried RSD_CUBE_LOG_DELE function module - It came out "no logs found in the database"
I tried tables RSDRDLOGHEADER and RSDDSTATDELE which provide me deletion informations like user name... but since we have partially archived those specific infoproviders in the same period of time where I think eveything was gone from cube, I am not able to related when and who the data that were not archived were deleted from Infocube
Under manage Infocube --> archiving tab, all the created archiving request are only for certain dates (below 2006). I know that we had data above 2006.
Kindly provide additional inputs.
Thanks

How to track changes in a hyperion application for SOX control?

Hello all,
We have been working on identifying the best way on how to track changes in a hyperion application in regards to the SOX control.
The following areas have been identified as the main areas of an application where the changes are to be tracked:
Monthly data load from ODI
Calculation of data
Metadats change
Formula edit
Changes to reports
Changes to security
Can anybody please suggest the best ways to do this? Has anyone experienced this issue before?
Somebody suggested that there is hyperion auditing available.
Is there any other software that is available that can do this or just documenting the changes would be the best option?
Please suggest. Toyr response would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Shared Services allows the auditing of provisioning and life-cycle management activities to track changes to security objects and the artifacts that are exported or imported using Lifecycle Management Utility.
For Shared Services auditing, refer Page 129 of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_security.pdf
Planning Administrators can select aspects of the application for change tracking. For example, you can track changes to metadata, such as when users change a member property or add a currency. You can also track changes in data forms, business rules, workflow, users, access permissions, and so on.
For Planning auditing, refer Page 56 of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin.pdf

you can use SE09 for displaying the transport no where you can see all the request nos ,from there you can check
also use the same transaction Cl41 do some changes like description ,then press the save button ,system will prompt you the previous saved Request No and make a note of it .cancel the request generation ,then you can trace them in SE09
also check whether you can find any change documents is available

Only the latest entry is stored in STXH and STXL.
Where to look for changes made to the text tables ?
Many thanks and kind regards,

How to track changes when a contact updates contacts address section?

I'm creating a workflow to create an integration event when a contact updates its contacts address section (number/street, address2, address3 city, state, zip).
Record Type: Contact
Trigger Event: When Modified record saved
Workflow Rule Condition: None
Action Type: Integration Event
When I go to configure the workflow action, I don't see the address on the track changes list. How do I specifiy the address section to be tracked when it's modified?
Thanks

The best way would be to create a trigger in the database that would update the history table whenever the data was changed. The next best would be to use a stored procedure. I would not try to do this with server side scripting.

How To Track Changes to Scripts Made via UCCE AWS

Hi there
Does anyone know how to produce an audit trail/sql query which would display who had made changes to scripts or config, via the aw??
I have a customer who has had unauthourised modifications made to some scripts which have caused operational difficulties and we need to find out how made these changes pronto.
many thanks

Hi,
yes, there's a database table named Config_Message_Log. It contains all the information that might be useful in such cases: the date and time, the user's login name and what information (more precisely: which database table) has been changed. It must be noted, however, that the "what has been changed" is not stored in a human readable form, you need to extract it using the Log viewer functionality of icmdba tool (which is a friendly GUI alternative/wrapper to the dumpcfg command line tool).
Issue the icmdba command on the command line of your AW machine. Expand Servers > [the server where a Logger resides]. Click [instancename]_sideA (or [instancename]_sideB). From the menu bar, select View > Log. A new window appears. Set the from and to dates to a desired value, then click View. It might take some time while a new window appears, containing the list of changes.
Example output:
[ 610672580481.0, Add, Nov 1 2011 7:49AM ]
PID:                4172
MachineName:        AWSA
UserDomain:         IPCC
UserName:           administrator
ProcessName:        conicrList(upcc)
SQLServerUserName: DBO
[ 610672580482.0, Delete, t_Agent_Team_Member, Nov 1 2011 7:49AM ]
[1 of 3]
AgentTeamID:        5000
SkillTargetID:      5138
ChangeStamp:        171
[2 of 3]
AgentTeamID:        5014
SkillTargetID:      5385
ChangeStamp:        83
[3 of 3]
AgentTeamID:        5020
SkillTargetID:      5066
ChangeStamp:        86
This means on 1st November 2011 at 7:49 somebody with the IPCC\administrator login on the AWSA machine removed three agents (with SkillTargetID 5138, 5385 and 5066) from the Agent Team with AgentTeamID 5000.
Script changes are not so easy to explain, however, since each save generates a new version of a script, you'll see a new record in the t_Script table. Feel free to post the output here, I might be able to help you or at least show you the right direction.
It must be noted, however, that the Config_Message_Log table can be truncated (erased) with the icmdba tool too. So if the customer knows this, they might just perform an unauthorized change and then destroy all traces, unfortunately.
G.
P.S.: you can also use the dumpcfg tool from the command line, it's faster - just make sure you read the instructions (do dumpcfg /?) and redirect the output to a text file.

How to track changes

Hi friends,
I am a XI consultant. My query is regarding how to track the chages.I heard that CDHDR and CDPOS tables are used to store the information regarding the changes made to the objects/tables in SAP.My scenario is i have a table having few fields related to P.o and a flag indiacating Insert/Update/Delete, so upon the creation/upadate/deletion of a P.O(related to perticular WBS Element) i want the data to be transfered into my table automatically.
Is there any standard transaction available to do that....means i want to track all the P.Os under a perticular WBS element..
If not Do we have to write a Abap program and use CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS,CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS functions to store the data into internal tables ?????
Regards,
Gowtham K.

HI gowtham,
Yes, u are right,
we have to right some abap code.
"CHANGE DOCUMENTS" in SAP Terminology
1 The same thing which u are asking
we had developed here. For Eg : Any change
in the material master will be detected
and a mail will be sent to the concerned
employee.
THIS WILL ALSO DETECT WHICH FILEDS HAVE CHANGED.
IT CAN ALSO GIVE, The Old Value, And The New Value.
2. This Mechanism is called CHANGE DOCUMENTS in
SAP Terminology
3. 2 Fuction Modules are Required.
(They will fetch necessary data from CDHDR,CDPOS)
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS
4. The First FM gives list of all
records ( with change no) which have changed.
5. Loop at the above and the second FM will
provide the details (old-val, new-val) for
each record.
6. While using 1st Fm, i used docclass as 'MATERIAL'.
BCOS
the concept of change documents is applicable
to other type of documents also (depends upon
customization)

How to track changes to fields in a Module Pool Program

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement to track the changes to some fields used in the Program, The fields for tracking the changes will be maintained in a table T1, this will be changed dynamically.
There are many screens in the program and many fields in each screen.
1. How to do the coding for tracking the changes, the code should track all the changes to the fields maintained in the table T1.
Thanks in Advance.
Baburaj

Hi Baburaj,
The table logging concept will helpful for this requirement.(Tcode: scu3 --> give table name --> u can find changes for all fields).
Make use of concept change documents (auditing purpose used) --> CDHDR,CDPOS tables.
If you want to track changes to your own program, You need write some API to store the data.
