Log/history for users' activities.

Hi all,
I just started my job as basis consultant and currently doing some system check as my daily routine and having some questions and confusion regarding to:
Is there a way to check users' daily activities (including developers)? eg: what programs are they running, etc.(besides SM21)
Besides that, in SM37, where can i find the description for every jobs, means what is the purpose of the specific job? is there any table that contained the information ?
Any advise is kindly appreciate.
Thanks.
Rgs,
Nicholas.

I've tried to search but couldn't get my answer.
For the Job description, can i knw what is the function and task for the job ?
For eg, SAP_APPLICATION_STAT_COLLECTOR. How i knw what is the exact feature does this job doing ? Meanwhile, is there any Tcode or table that allow me to check for the feature of every SAP jobs, including Abap program. Besides going through the logic of the program.

Portal Activirty Reporting and logs tracing for user activities

We operate under a WAS JAVA 6.40 SP19 environment portal...
Can the portal generate reports base on users activities can the portal report on users login attempts with any of the followings:
Login attempts by numbers of tries
Login attempts by date
Login attempts by fail or unsuccessful
Login attempts by successful
We currently are tracing SSO attempts into the ECC systems but we would like to report from a portal end perspective

Best way to get the entire history of User Activities

Hi,
We have a requirement to track the history (at least 1 year) of all the user activities. Currently we are using user stat which gives just 3 months history. Is there any other way to get the entire history?
Heard about RBE.
Can some one suggest on how to implement RBE? Can we use SAP database and GUI for RBE?
Is there any other alternative?
Thanks in advance,
MR

Switch on the Audit Log. Lots of info here if you search on SM18/19/20
Alternatively ask the Basis team to increase the retention of the log files so you can use ST03 for longer

NetInstall - Grey screen after logging in for user created during install

I am creating a NetInstall of 10.8 for mass deployment in my workplace. I am currently having difficulty with a user account that was created by a script that runs in place of the Setup Assistant.
I am trying to skip the Setup Assistant, and as such, the script touches the /var/db/.AppleSetupDone file (which doesn't exist at this point).
This works, with the installation progressing straight on to the login screen where the user 'administrator' has been created, and is available for login.
However, when the user logs in, they are presented with a grey screen & the mouse cursor. No dock, desktop, no finder menu bar.
I am at a loss as to what is going wrong as this had worked perfectly fine in the developer preview.
The script is as below: (certain sections have been removed for security purposes)
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

(1) You cannot run the installer program while booted into your primary partition; you must boot into the DVD. Restart the computer while holding down the C key until the DVD boots.
This isn't true. The retail Snow Leopard DVD is designed to start the install procedure while started up normally. When you do this, after performing some checks on the target partition it writes some pre-install files to it before restarting automatically from the DVD. This speeds up the install procedure.
(2) You cannot install Snow Leopard on this computer from a DVD that came with another computer; you must use, as it were, a free-standing commercial Snow Leopard installer DVD.
The exception is, as Xian Rinpoche correctly surmised, a Mac model released after the currently available retail Snow Leopard DVD became available. The newest Macs require a later version of the OS than what is included on the retail DVD, which is why it won't work with the new i5 & i7 models. (See Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than that which came with your Mac for more about this.)
As a general rule, use either the installer that came with the Mac on its grey system discs or a retail disc released after that Mac model was released. You can also refer to this handy chart of the OS version that ships with each Mac model.

Where can I find log files for users logging into network homes?

We're running an open directory master and are using AFP on another server to host our network homes. I was asked to find a log of users logged into their network homes on a specific date and I'm starting to wonder if that's actually a log that exists. I've checked the OD logs and in one of the password logs I can see users have authenticated but it doesn't say specifically to what (so it just lists they logged into something). The AFP logs just show specific files being accessed without usernames. So what am I missing? What log would I check?
Thanks for your help!!

File Zilla is a dedicated ftp client that you use to upload your published web site to your server.
I would suggest that you perhaps consider using Cyberduck instead as this might be easier. Cyberduck is a dedicated ftp client in the same way that File Zilla is.
To be able to upload what you need is your published website. Open iWeb and select the site that you want to publish and then select publish to a local folder and your site will then be published to your desktop. You then upload this to your server using Cyberduck or File Zilla.

Hello,
SM20 is only possible when you have activated the Security Audit Log.
If not you will not be able to query the Security Audit Log via SM20.
Maybe the system statistics in the Workload Monitor can help you.
Start tcode ST03N.
Make sure you change the view to "Expert mode", this is the little arrow above the left panel.
Afterwards choose a certain time period under "Total".
Afterwards you have an option in the left-bottom pane called "User and Settlement Statistics".
When you double click there you will receive a list of users that worked on the system during that specific period (so they also logged on).
Pay attention that the system cumulates data in the Workload Monitor, you only have the recent days available, then the recent weeks, then the recent months, ...
I hope this helps you.
Success.

User Logged History

Hi Wish You Happy NEW Year,
Hi Dear all,
I have one doubt, so pls help me.
How can i know,
if Manager User is Logged(SAPB1) in one system
and another person using same(Manager) User ID is logged in other system.
What Table was stored a User Logged History?
I need the User Logged History Table & Field.
Regards,
Madhan.

Hi
Try This:
You could run a command NETSTAT on the B1 server to see all the ports open and identify .....
In Comman prompt type netstat and check
or
Run "netstat -a" on command prompt
by output u will get who was login to server in hidden way....
and trace each IP....some body has delete or change d location/move
I dont think so SAP is Not Storing the LOG file for user login in any Table, acording to me...let see

Does change log history get lost in RAR AC when you move from 5.2 to 5.3?

Since we upgraded to version 5.3 is appears as though we don't see any change log history for our functions under Rule Architect tab after we moved to 5.3. Does this make sense?

You should not lose any entries. 5.2 to 5.3 upgrade would not remove anytning from database. You need to finish all the post-installation steps before you make any changes into 5.3.

Log History 2013 see all stages of workflow in one place.

In sharepoint 2013, I have setup a workflow using sharepoint designer 2013 to create 5 steps stages in a workflow. In each stage, I have used a log to history action to keep track of what stages the workflow got to.
I know how to find the log history for all events on the sharepoint 2013 server. However, I would like to be able to see a display for the 5 stages of the workflow in one place. Thus can you tell me how to accomplish my request?

When you say you know how to find the "log history for all events" I assume you are talking about the ULS logs. That's not where the workflow will log the history that you are looking for. Instead SharePoint logs history to a hidden
history list in the site where the workflow is kicked off. By default it is called "Workflow history" and you can view it by manually navigating to the following URL http://[site
URL]/lists/Workflow%20History.

Can't access a school web site that I've used for years-can't log in with user and password. All other bookmarks are fine-tried several things including re-install-Other browsers are O.K.

I have an iMac-have used Firefox exclusively for years. I can't access a school web site-can't get past the log in with user ID and password. Screen stays at log in screen. Tried clearing history-tried uninstall and re-install. All other web sites/bookmarks work fine. Thanks in advance.

Try clearing the cache and deleting cookies for the site, this can sometimes resolve problems accessing sites that used to work. See [[how to clear the cache]] and [[deleting cookies]] for details.

Hi,
You could use Audit Logs:

You specify the activities that you want to log in filters using the transaction SM19. You can read the log using the transaction SM20. You can delete old logs with the transaction SM18.

Scheduler history for dropped user

I am working in a dev environment where, for testing and experimentation, we are creating and dropping users/schemas with wild abandon. It appears that the history of scheduler jobs is not removed when a user is dropped. Is this by design?
What is the recommended way of purging history for a dropped user?

Hi,
Not, it is not recommended or supported to delete directly from any scheduler SYS base tables.
If you need to selectively clear out the job log you can do so using a DBA user or any user who has been granted the MANAGE SCHEDULER system provilege.
While logged in as that user, write a cursor loop over jobs from users you are not interested in and for each job use something like
DBMS_SCHEDULER.PURGE_LOG(log_history => 0, job_name => 'user.job_name');
Hope this helps,
Ravi.
