SAP BI 4.0 SP2 : Questions about Audit

Hello guys
Can you give some informations on Audit functionalities in SAP BI 4 ? I installed the audit database and i configured the audit panel in the CMC to the default level and now i would like to request on the data stored in the auditing database, where can i found an "audit universe" and "Webi reports" to query on Auditing data like in BO XI 3.1 ?
Thanks in advance
Jean-Philippe

Thanks for your link Kbobj1,
I tried to follow the deploy Auditing reports and universe steps in the attached document, and sucessfully published a BOEXI40-Audit-MSSQL.UNX linking to my SQL express auditing DB.
However, while trying to perform the last step which is to "Set Datasource Location" in the sample crystal report, I am unable to select "BOEXI40-Audit-MSSQL.UNX" from: Replace with > Universes path, only *.unv universes appeared to be there. Am I missing any steps ? Thanks~~
I looked up some info from the web saying that UNX is not compatible with Crystal report 2011, that might be the reason.

A few questions about auditing

Hi all,
I am new to auditing, my manager asked me to make a report on how our database is audited including audit levels, tables and users audited etc. After some research I found about AUD$ table and views associated with it. I also found about table auditing(session/access) but I could not make any clear ideas out of these info. Also I made some tests and I could not get any assuring results. First I want to tell you what I did:
I enabled auiditing on the fnd_user table(test instance, 9.2.0.8) on select and update using TOAD. However after making many selects and updates I can not find any audit info in either audit trail or AUD$ table and views using it. After this I turned on all other statements'(alter, delete, grant etc.) auditing and switched between ACCESS and SESSION but to no good. What am I missing, why is there no trail of these actions?
Second, I have been inspecting the AUD$ table, there is recent data in it which consists of drop and truncate info mostly. I used a query to determine which objects have auditing enabled but there are none other than the fnd_user which I just enabled. What makes this data to be populated in the AUD$ table and how can I alter this?
Lastly, what are the possibilities of efficient auditing on the tables, users and schemas I want?
Any advices will be most appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Burak

Hi,
Thanks for the fast replies.
The output of show parameter audit is:
NAME TYPE VALUE
audit_file_dest string ?/rdbms/audit
audit_sys_operations boolean FALSE
audit_trail string NONE
transaction_auditing boolean TRUE
audit_trail is not boolean, what are the values it can get? transaction_auditing is enabled, how can I make use of this, and what are the differences between the three types of auditing?
Also I will be very happy if someone could tell me what populates the data in AUD$ table although the auditing is disabled?
Thanks and regards
Burak

A shot in the dark question about Audit Trail

Gurus,
We (development team) typically provide deployment scripts which contain API calls or table inserts for OA configurations. This ensures consistency between environments and prevents Admin user error from fat-fingering. With that said, anyone have any idea if the Audit trail forms use backend API calls to write to standard tables? Or do those Audit trail forms write directly to standard tables/views?
I feel much more comfortable calling an API rather than trying to mimic standard table inserts.
Audit trail for base tables consist of several steps:
1. Enable audit at application level (Intall Form)
2. Define Audit name and define table (Groups Form)
3. Define audit columns from table (Tables Form)
4. Run Audit Trail concurrent job.
I am mostly concerned about writing a script for tasks 1-3, since we can easily execute a concurrent job through FND_REQUEST. I've been looking at the FND_AUDIT* packages and none reference a "create" procedure.
BTW, form diagnostic tool didn't supply much information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

Questions about auditing

We are getting questions from our users. Can the following be
done?
1. Can we audit the log-on for a user and see what has been done?
2. Can we have an audit for the log-on that is printable?
3. Can we audit any operations that the user did?
4. Can we audit time logged on, out, etc?
If so, how?
Thanks,
Linda

Dear Linda,
I'm not sure whether you want to audit activities at the
Database or at the OS level, but you will get almost all the
info on Oracle and on UNIX!
For auditing on Oracle, checkout the following :

Hope this helps!

General Questions about BI

Hello,
I want to get into SAP BI and have some questions about it.
Is there a big downside in installing only the BI components without the Java BI components, or is it even possible if you want to work with BI. What are the general differences between BI and Java BI?
I think the main aspects i will work with will be data warehousing and some basic reporting.
The reason why i'm asking is that i want to run the BI components in the same system as the ECC Server (its just a test system). I read that the Java BI component needs EPC and EP and that would probably be too much for a single system (6 GB RAM).
Thanks a lot in advance,
Martin

Thanks for your hints, they were really helpful.
As i mentioned i mainly want to work with the general Data Warehouse and Reporting capabilities, so i think it should be okay.
Actually i'm planing to write about BI and SAP within my master thesis.
Another question, what will be with SAP BI in the future regarding the Business Object acquisition? Is there still any point in learning SAP BI or will SAP BI disapear in the future? I heard that the basic BI functionality (e.g. Datawarehouse ) will still be used but the reporting capabilities would be disappear. I'm not sure if that is right and i'm really new to this topic. So any comments are welcome.
Thanks,
Martin

Questions on Installing SAP BPC NW 7 SP2

Hi Friends,
My company is Installing SAP BPC NW 7 SP2 and I am heading the project starting from 1st June. I have downloaded the Installation guide and still have few questions
1) On which client we deploy BPC server component, I mean on 000 or any other.
2) Initially we are doing on Sandbox, so we are using only one system for both ABAP and NET servers and we are using 64bit machine. How do I run 1.1 Net framework on it, I have read installation guide it says configure to WOW6432 but dont know how to do it
3) When we download the ABAP server component what format will it be .SAR or .CAR or any other
Please do reply.
Thanks in advance
Bobby

Hello Bobby,
1. You will install the BPC server component with SAINT, which has to be executed in client 000, but BPC will actually run in the client you designate for BW.
2. The following article discusses configuring ASP.NET 1.1 to run in 32 bit mode on a 64 bit system [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435]
3. The ABAP server component will be a SAR file.
Thank you,
Daniel

Questions about 1003051 - TDMS 3.0 corrections - Composite SAP Note

Experts:
We, from a big SAP shop, want to set up TDMS for ERP, BI, HCM and CRM.
We have some questions about note 1003051:
1) Is this note about ERP (and HCM) only? If so, what are the notes for TDMS on BI and CRM?
2) Should we apply this note to all systems involved: sender, controller (SM7.0 in our case) and receiver?
3) We have enhp1...enhp4 in our ERP (and HCM), enhp1 on BI and perhaps enhp1 on CRM (not sure yet).
a) What is the impact of enhp on TDMS?
b) should we install TDMS before applying enhp OR the sequence does not matter?
Thanks for your help!

1) Is this note about ERP (and HCM) only? If so, what are the notes for TDMS on BI and CRM?
>This is a composite note, and contains information about various other notes related to TDMS. Refer to each note mentioned in this note individually to assess the same.
2) Should we apply this note to all systems involved: sender, controller (SM7.0 in our case) and receiver?
>Depends from note to note, Each note contains the necessary information about the system it has to be installed on.
3) We have enhp1...enhp4 in our ERP (and HCM), enhp1 on BI and perhaps enhp1 on CRM (not sure yet).
a) What is the impact of enhp on TDMS?
>TDMS in standard supports Basis 7.0 systems. However it generally works fine with 7.01 too.
b) should we install TDMS before applying enhp OR the sequence does not matter?
>As TDMS 3.0 is only available for systems with basis 4.6C to 7.0. So install TDMS first and then the EHP.
I hope these answers help.
Regards
Pankaj.

Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

I have got a question about SAP FS-CD (collection and disbursement)
If I make changes to the master data (FPP2) is there a way to view the changes I have made in a report.

Thanks

Some questions about SAP esourcing

Hi expert,
I have one question about SAP eSourcing. In RFQ document, before RFQ award is published, our customer do not want the price of RFx response disclosed to collaborators. After the award is published, the price can be released to collaborators. As I know, we can use page customization to hide page field. But the price is collection field. So I failed to use page customization to hide it.
Pls advise me how to realize it.

Hi
Please go through the relevant pointers ->

3 important questions about SAP HANA

Hello Community!
I have got 3 important questions about SAP HANA.
1.
- Our Company has all up about 150 SAP - Systems.
- 12 Systems are ERP-Systems.
=> We consider about SAP HANA at the moment.
=> Is it possible to put all the 12 ERP-Systems in ONE SAP HANA or do I need one seperate HANA for each ERP-System?
=> If it is possible, can you tell me the disadvantages when I use 1 HANA for the 12 ERP-Systems.
=> Is there a Storage-Limit in the HANA (I think no, because of 64 bit).
=> Can I still make realtime-analytics with 1 HANA for 12 SAP Systems?
2.
=> Can I run ONE HANA with different non-SAP-Systems?
3.
=> Is there a Demo-Center from SAP or IBM, where I can test and see the HANA before I buy it?
(I do not mean the Fujitsu TDS Demo Center)
It would be nice, when you would answer all my questions.
Thank you.

- 12 Systems are ERP-Systems.
=> We consider about SAP HANA at the moment.
=> Is it possible to put all the 12 ERP-Systems in ONE SAP HANA or do I need one seperate HANA for each ERP-System? Yes it is quite possible to put all the ERP/CRM/SCM or other components on one HANA. You need to check for pricing/users/RAM (storage)
=> If it is possible, can you tell me the disadvantages when I use 1 HANA for the 12 ERP-Systems.
There are no disadvantages as of now.. improve existing planning, forecasting, pricing
optimization and other processes
=> Is there a Storage-Limit in the HANA (I think no, because of 64 bit).
There is no limit on Stotrage: You need check how much Data you need on RAM (Real time processing) Storage.Minimum you can buy is 64 GB and multiple of it for (RAM)
=> Can I still make realtime-analytics with 1 HANA for 12 SAP Systems?
Yes certainly..
2.
=> Can I run ONE HANA with different non-SAP-Systems?
YEs you can run HANA for 3rd party S/W or non-sap systems for your real time anlytics.
It has ODBC and JDBC both and you can combine it with other systems.
3.
=> Is there a Demo-Center from SAP or IBM, where I can test and see the HANA before I buy it?
(I do not mean the Fujitsu TDS Demo Center)
This you need to check with your local SAP Service channel..
It would be nice, when you would answer all my questions.
Thank you.

Question about elearning - OKP SAP Commercial Project Management

Hi Gurus,
i have a question about an e learning course which SAP offers-
Course Name- OCPM10-
OCPM10 - OKP SAP Commercial Project Management 1.0 | SAP Training and Certification Shop
It's an e learning course for 20 hours, below are my questions-
Since its an e-learning course, is it to be completed in a specified time (within 2-3 days) or we can have access to it throughout the year but duration of course is 20 hrs
What kind of documentation is provided to me as part of this course.

1. C_TPLM22_05 - SAP Certified Solution Consultant PLM - Project Management with SAP ERP 2005
It includes SAP PLM 235 course material along with PLM 200, 210 220, 230,
2. C_TPLM22_60 - SAP Certified Application Associate - Project Management with SAP ERP 6.0
It is not including the PLM 235 course.
This is the basic difference between it. IN Certification there are 6 -7 areas , in each of them you have to score more than 70 % , there many few multiple answer questions as well. Finally over score will come it should be higher than 70 %. So, I ideally weight all the topics equally,
With Regards

Question about SAP client setting when create new connection in CR2008

Dear All,
I have a question about SAP client setting in Crystal Report 2008 when I try to create a new connection use SAP OpenSQL(SAP Table,Cluster,or Function).
I have a SAP IDES environment with 5 clients.
While I try to create a CR standard report use SAP OpenSQL, I entered 800 into Client field in u201CUser logon credentialsu201D. The connection can be created and I can get table list. After I built a report ,I can not get data from IDES client 800, but I can get data from client 000.
I am sure client 800 has data.I checked client 800 table with Tcord se16.
I also did other tests and felt confused a lot.
Even inexistent client, such as u201C00u201Dand u201C8000u201D can be used for creating connection.
I just want to know how can I get data from client 800.
Thanks for your kindly help!
Wayne

Dear Ingo,
Thanks for your reply!
I am not sure about your suggestion clearly. What's your mean all the authorizations to use CR?
Maybe I should clarify my operations.
I logon CR2008 as administrator and created two SAP connections with different client.
There is a table named "/BEV3/CHBALLG" be showed in these connections.
I checked clients "000" and "800" both have data in the table.
I can use client 000 connection create report and get right data, but the report base on client 800 connection could not get data.
If change to another table,such as "/SAPDMC/LSOFIL", I can get data both form these connections.
I found one thing is very weird. Client "00" and "8000" do not exist in my IDES environment, but I can use them for creating connection.
May I have your further suggestions?
Wayne
