Manual report( to track recent login with user id)

Question

Hello,
I want a report where I should be able to track the users id and their recent login/out to BPC Server (via any module Admin, Excel, Web). I am in BPC 5.1 
I know this can be tracked via who is online in BPC Admin but the list is showing the name of the users who have logged in through BPC Admin but not via Excel, web.
I want to create a report  manually to track the list of users who have last logged in to BPC via any form. How can we create this as report manually? Do we have any EV functions to do this? Please let me know how we can do this.
Thanks
Vijay Venkatesh

Hi Vijay,
Restricting the entry to BPC excel or Web through only Admin is not feasible. The context from where I am coming is, accessibility to excel directly comes in with the installation of BPC Office. So, this means that if BPC Office is installed, the client will have the access to enter BPC for Excel directly. Feasibility of restricting the direct entry is not possible.
The user activities are stored in one of the tables in SQL, from where BPC Admin gets the detail about which user has logged in to the system. If you can create a reprot to fetch the details from that table, then it might be feasible to get the data in excel. However, this needs to be done outside BPC scope, since, BPC doesnt have any function to fetch these kind of results. The creation of this kind of custom report can be very complicated. However, I am not completely sure whether this is feasible or not.
Alternately, You can try with Audit Activity Report also. This will give you some amount of information about user activities.
Hope this helps.
