How to track rows' histtory?

Hi all,
I would link to track changes made onto some columns to have a complete history of changes made.
I know I can use triggers to populate my own ad-hoc tables, and Oracle Workspace can (automatically ?) track these changes.
Which way is the more convenient? Would workspace manager be too much resource-consuming?
Should I look to something different?
Thanks in advance,
andrea

The impact of Workspace Manager is probably on par with the impact of a custom trigger solution, maybe a bit more if you're doing a lot of full scans of the tables. It's quite reasonable for most OLTP apps, though.
On the other hand, the result strikes me as far more useful than either DB_EXTENDED auditing or custom triggers. Having millions upon millions of records of changes to dozens or hundreds of tables in a single table in the SYS schema makes any sort of data analysis incredibly difficult. Answering questions like "What was the customer's address and all their open orders at 3:35 PM two weeks ago when the order processing system assessed their discount and sales tax?" is quite tedious with that sort of layout. Pretty quickly, you get into a situation where your auditing is useless because there is no practical way to extract the signal from the noise. Maintaining a bunch of custom triggers and history tables, keeping them structurally in sync with the source table is a pain-- you inevitably forget to add a column to the history table when it gets added to the main table at some point. You often end up writing a framework to manage the history that Workspace Manager already provides-- you want to purge some but not all historical data (i.e. keep year end data forever, month end data for 5 years, and transaction level detail for 1 year). And with custom triggers, unlike Workspace Manager, you don't have the ability to have a session pretend it's a year and a half ago and run a particular function, which is invaluable when you're trying to chase down the scope of a bug that's been affecting production data for a period of time.

How to delete rows in the target table using interface

hi guys,
I have an Interface with source as src and target as tgt both has company_code column.In the Interface i need like if a record with company_code already exists we need to delete it and insert the new one from the src and if it is not availble we need to insert it.
plz tell me how to achieve this?
Regards,
sai.

For this do we need to apply CDC?
I am not clear on how to delete rows under target, Can you please share the steps to be followed.If you are able to track the deletes in your source data then you dont need CDC. If however you cant - then it might be an option.
I'll give you an example from what im working on currently.
We have an ODS, some 400+ tables. Some are needed 'Real-Time' so we are using CDC. Some are OK to be batch loaded overnight.
CDC captures the Deletes no problem so the standard knowledge modules with a little tweaking for performance are doing the job fine, it handles deletes.
The overnight batch process however cannot track a delete as its phyiscally gone by the time we run the scenarios, so we load all the insert/updates using a last modified date before we pull all the PK's from the source and delete them using a NOT EXISTS looking back at the collection (staging) table. We had to write our own KM for that.
All im saying to the OP is that whilst you have Insert / Update flags to set on the target datastore to influence the API code, there is nothing stopping you extending this logic with the UD flags if you wish and writing your own routines with what to do with the deletes - It all depends on how efficient you can identify rows that have been deleted.

am tried using TPE but its showing all the 3 rows as NULL in bam primary import database.
So please let know how can i achieve above issue.
Regards,
srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
Using TPE you cannot process repeating records. It doesn’t allow you to loop through your InvoiceDetails (repeating record), hence it shows null in tracked record. This
is one of the limitations when you use TPE.
This can be done using BAM API. If you use Orchestration or by writing a custom pipeline component you can use BAM API where you have the flexibility to loop through the
repeating record and insert each InvoiceDetails node as a record in your BAM activity. BAM API is the only option to track repeating items inside a message as separate activity instances.
Refer this MSDN article for more info:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa559527.aspx

How to track the flow of Sharepoint SSRS report requests to troubleshoot slowness

How to track the flow of requests of Integrated SSRS report links in Sharepoint.
We are using SSRS with Sharepoint for reporting purpose. The issue is some of the reports get generated fast and some other reports generation is very slow. When the sql query of these reports RDL file is executed, the records are shown fast.
Also even on clicking the "Add Subscription" link of "Manage Subscriptions" of a report is very slow for some reports, while it is fast for other reports.
I tried enabling SQL profiler to track the requests. I have checked profiler log for the SQL statements with exec sp_executesql. But they are not helpful.
Pls advice on how to track the request of flow of SSRS report request in sharepoint and how to troubleshoot the slowness in "Add Subscription" link, response of some reports.

How to track Service Item in Install Base

Hi,
How to track a Service Item in Install Base. If I'm right, when we define the item as Service Item in Inventory, Install Base Trackable cannot be enableed...
Scenario:
Customer is doing some services to its customer which has a contract for 1 Year. So we are creating service as Service Item in Inventory and then we create a contract for this service item.
How do we track this in Install Base?
Please help
Thanks & Regards,
Pavithara R.

Hi,
A service item by definition need not be tracked in IB. The service may be provided on a machine or asset which will be tracked in IB. Since service item is not a tangiable item, it is not IB trackable.
Kindly explain the business scenario to track the service item in IB.

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 on Infoprovider?

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

hi
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

How to track Changes done in planning book....by whom.....in DP planning

Hi All,
I want to track the changes done in Key figures in planning book ..........mostly by whom .......let me know how to track the same in APO DP planning book...........any std..........way..........like R/3...........pl reply.............your expert guidence will be appreciated..........by rewarding the same..............Thanks...........
Best Regards
Sharad

Hi,
You would be able to tackle this partially by adding a new hidden key figure.
Refer the example below;
Kfig1. Stat forecast: Calculated using stat forecasting
Kfig2. Adjusted forecast: user normally changes this
Kfig3. Hidden copy of Adjusted forecast:
Using macros copy 1st snap shot of stat forecast to Adjusted and Hidden. once adjustments are done, use Macro to compare Adjustments and Hidden copy of original values, or this can be a overnight batch job to generate alerts
Hope this helps.

How to track signon in a query? XMLP-Doku?

Hello,
can anyone give me a brief example how to track signon in a query to limit data in the standalone version of XMLP? Unfortunatly the user manual (PDF) doesn't describe that. The threads in this forum which tell this quit short didn't work to me.
Is there any other important manual or book about XMLP except the PDF user manual?
Thanks in advance
Ralf Kanis

We wanted to trap the sign-on but oracle has the following response. I heard you can modify the xdo file but this solution is not a long term solution.
Following is the reply from the development:
There is a bug in XMLP 5.6.2 which prevents dynamically passing username in sql, and would be fixed in the next release. Also it req
uires editing report file manually as the UI does not support this username bind
ing in 5.6.2.

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.
