RAR 5.3 - Action Usage Reports

Hello,
In regards to the Action Usage reports in RAR 5.3 (one for users and the other for roles/profiles):
1) Does this report pull information on dialog and non-dialog users?
2) Is there any further documentation on these reports? The user guide doesn't elaborate much...
Thanks!
Jes

Thank you for your response.
We have actually just begun testing this particular report to review/verify results. One issue we're seeing however is that this Action Usage report for users is only returning results by system, not by client. What I mean by that is this: we have several sandbox clients connected to RAR 5.3 (an SB 120 and and SB 500 - so two clients from the same system, along with various other clients from other systems). When we run the Action Usage report specifically for SB 120, we are getting action usage for SB 120 and SB 500, even though we did not include SB 500 in the parameters. The same results show up when running this report in SB 500.
So what we are seeing is that this report is lumping all transactions from a system together instead of separating them out by client. I am unable to find any detailed documentation on this so could anyone explain to me if this is possibly a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks!

  • Activating action usage report in RAR

    Hi,
    I want to configure the Action usage report in AC 5.3 RAR. However after reading all of the configuration documents I am still not clear on the steps to achieve this.
    Specifically how is the transaction data gathered?
    Is there a job that runs on the SAP system?
    I have looked at the options for configuration under alerts generate jobs, however I do not want to gather data on transaction related to a specific risk, I want to gather data on all transactions used. I cannot see an option to set this up.
    I want to use this report for remediation purposes.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
      Action usage job runs on RAR (Java front-end) side and basically, collects the data from SAP system and populates the RAR database.
    Alert is only supposed to work at SoD risk level or critical action risk level. The reason why SAP doesn't allow you to generate alert for all the transactions as that would be too much of data.

  • Action Usage Report In RAR

    Hello Everyone,
    I have scheduled a job for alert generation in RAR periodically every 1 day and after the job is completed successfully. I want to get the report for Action Usage for Users it is giving me data upto September 2010, and nothing after this date. I appreciate if somebody can provide me with an answer.
    Regards
    Khan

    Hello Diego.
    First of all I would like to thank and appreciate for the your quick reply.
    Yes I have recently performed User\Role\Profile sync and also changed some parameters in RAR and in the JCo destinations and asked my Basis person to restart the instace.
    I would like to run it again but the problem which I am seeing is there is nothing getting written on the Alert folder created as /sap/sid/grc_qa3/qa3_alerts. The following are the parameters set in RAR --> Config --> Miscellaneous
    Background Job Spool File Location  = /sap/acd/grc_qa3
    Alert Log File Name and Location  = /sap/acd/grc_qa3/alerts
    We checked the spool file there is data written but not in the Alert log.
    Also can you explain what needs to be checked in the table "VIRSA_CC_ACTUSAGE" which I checked in debugger If you can elobrate a little more on this matter.
    Regards,
    Khan

  • AC 10 - Action Usage reports

    Hi
    I was wondering if anyone knows which SAP tables the GRC system gathers the Action Usage information from. We run the background job GRAC_ACTION_USAGE_SYNC to pull this data into the GRC system, and can then display it in the reports, but what tables in the backend system is used for this sync. Any information on this would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Will

    Hello Will,
    This one is for 5.3, but there shouldn't be big changes to 10 in this topic: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/stage/HowSTATfilesworkwithGRC5.3RARAlerts
    Basically, GRC works with STAT (statistical records) and CDHDR, CDPOS (change documents).
    In case of FF logs, this is described here:
    Note 1394281 - Superuser Privilege Management Log Report Content
    And also in page 41:

  • RAR 5.3 SP8 - Action Usage by User Report - Change Start Date?

    Hello,
    When we run the report "Action Usage by User" in RAR, it shows a default "Start Date" of 1/12/2009. RAR put this in there on its own. We never got the Action Usage Generation Job working correctly until a few weeks ago (we had some issues that SAP addressed and then it took time to get resources to go back and resolve some things on our side). Since we've only had the background job that pulls STAD data running successfuly since 10/3/2009 (it runs every 6 hours), we'd like to change the default "Start Date" on that Report Screen to be 10/3/2009. This way, users are not confused into thinking when they run the report and leave the date set as 1/12/2009, they are getting tcode usage data since that date. Because they're not getting tcode usage since that date. Our records really only go back to 10/3/2009.
    We could instruct our users to change the date every time but we feel it'd be easier if we just changed the date so they didn't have to worry about it.
    Does anyone know how we could tweak this? What table that default date would be under? How could we modify?
    Thanks!!
    Jes

    The table where that date is is VIRSA_CC_USAGECTL
    If you use the debugger tool, you'll see there's only 1 row in this table. You'll find the FROMDATE, TODATE, and FILENAME columns. I FILENAME column should be null.
    Row FROMDATE TODATE FILENAME
    1 2009-01-12 9999-12-31
    If possible, could you confirm you are seeing similiar information?
    The issue we are having is trying to figure out how to update this table...we need that FROMDATE to be 2009-10-03.
    Thanks!
    Jes

  • Action Usage by User report

    How does the Action Usage by User report work? Its one of the miscellanenous reports under the security reports on the Informer tab. Do I have to run a background job to gather this data? If I try to run the report now I don't get any data even though I know a transaction has been run during the query period.
    Thanks for any help
    Dave

    No RFC Errors.  Re: other jobs, they all run successfully.  Alert Generation is the only one failing, and it started failing only a few days ago - it has run successfully before - and the settings/config on the GRC side haven't been changed (so the only possibility is a change on the ECC side).
    However, the message server that's configured in the connector (and that's working) actually points to the central services instance.  In SPM, we had an issue earlier where this name wouldn't work and so we had to use the primary app server name, and then SPM worked fine.  Do you think that with RAR, and this report, even though everything else is working fine, the error on the alert generation may be associated with the server name?

  • Usage Report and Audit Log report showing different totals

    I am trying to understand the differences displayed in two similar reports. The first report is an 'Audit Log' Report and it is displaying the number of Resource Account creations over a time period. The second report is a Usage Report using the exact same criteria (objectType = Resource Account and Action = Create). The totals I get back are VASTLY different. Can anyone explain? Is this a known bug?

    Hi,
    In any report we don't show the storage policies information. In Cost report if the storage policies have different rate factors then we will show the split for the storage information. But in usage report , rate factors will not be applicable as we don''t show the cost details. Hope this clarifies your question. Please let us know if you need more information.
    Thanks,

    .usage files are getting created and also the temporary(.tmp) file has been created.
    uasage  logging database for uasage data being transported. The data is available.
    Please provide pointers on what needs to be done.

    Hi Nabhendu,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not use popularity trend after you migrated SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013.
    In SharePoint 2013, the analytics functionality is a part of the search component. There is an article for troubleshooting SharePoint 2013 Web Analytics, please take a look at:
    Troubleshooting SharePoint 2013 Web Analytics
    http://blog.fpweb.net/troubleshooting-sharepoint-2013-web-analytics/#.U8NyA_kabp4
    I hope this helps.

  • OBIEE 11g Agent Includes Action Link Report Name

    OBIEE 11g Agent Includes Action Link Report Name
    I have a dashboard page with multiple reports. One of the reports has Action Links to drill to another report. When I view the dashboard as a web page, the report with the Action Links look fine. The link fields are colored blue. When I send this dashboard page as an HTML email, it shows the Action Link report name in the cell with the other data.
    The dashboard page sent out as an agent should look the same as the web page and the Action Link report name should not be visible.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Eric

    So you spoofed the values of the 2nd column to have the report act almost like a menu listing?
    if that's the case then check the data type of column 2, it should be set to HTML. Then you will just need to build your HTML tag within the column formula.
    Example below bins the year name into a Link HTML Tag:
    '<a href="http://'|| CASE  WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '" target="_blank" > ' || CASE  WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '</a>'
    if that is not what you are attempting to do, please clarify.

    When I am opening usage reports under Site Settings > Site Administraton > Popularity Trends, i cannot see any data after 9th May 2014. It stopped working and all the numbers coming to zero after 9th may. 
    I tried many solutions that are given on internet for this issue like restarting timer job, enabling usage on usage service application, permission on log files, etc.. but none of them worked for me.

  • Usage Report Results Confusion

    Hi Everyone,
    Here is some background before I ask my question:
    I set up a hierarchy and populated it VM entities no problem.  I set up my own basic pricing model that was based on "Actual Usage" and had no base rates, no fixed costs, no other costs, and no rules associated with it.  I ran a couple usage reports using this pricing model.
    The first usage report I generated on my hierarchy was for the time frame 11/06/2012  to  11/06/2013   (1 year) and the report produced results which I looked okay.  I only asked for it to show CPU, Memory, and Storage.
    So I my second usage report on the same hierarchy and for this one the time frame was set for 05/06/2013  to  11/06/2013  (6 months) and the the results produced almost exactly DOUBLE the usage for EVERY resource.
    I thought this was strange considering the time frames overlap and if anything the YEAR time span would have to have at least the same usage stats if not higher than the 6 month time span it includes.
    So, my question is, did I mess up the pricing model or billing policy somewhere to have this happen?  Or does the usage report generate on an average of some sort?
    I just can't figure out how this is possible.
    Thanks for any help in advance!
    -Richie

    Hi Richie,
    Can you please attach the pdf reports for the same issue and tell about the problematic VMs. I will try to give you an explanation for the same.
    Thanks,

  • Usage Report

    If a group text message is received by multiply numbers on the same account will the number that sent it show up on each individual numbers usage report?

        @laxmommy,
    Great question! When you receive a group message it will show the number of the person who originally sent the message.

  • Usage report and storage profiles

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to create a usage report i CBM that shows the storage consumption devided in storage policies. I have 2 different storage policies and they are both visible when editing infrastucture cost.
    When generation a cost report I can see the storage policies, but not when I'm generating the Usage Report - wich is the one I really need. I only get the storage usage - and cant differ between the storage policies.
    Any ideas?
    I'm running CBM 2.6.
