Track zreports/transactions Usage

Hi,
Is there a standard program which can be executed to see the information on most used ZReports and transactions by users on a regular basis? I know most of the information is available using T-Code sm20,STAD,st03 but i need a program/report that gives me this information.
Thanks

Hi,
check table MONI.
Look at programs CCUINIT and CCUEVAL.
This is your concurrent user logs and will keep track of how many users are logged on, it runs as part of AutoABAP.
CCUINT does not collect allot of data. Each time the program runs, it records the number of users that are logged on to each client on the system. It also keeps track of the vop values (upto 5) of peak number of users. When you restart the CCU log using CCUINIT, it restarts the log. You can use the current date when you initialize the CCU logs. If you want to restart the measurement of ConCurrent Users, you can use CCUINIT to cancel the current run and the go back in are start it with the current date.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to track frequency of usage and variant name

Hi experts,
Our team currently involved in Kaizen project. One of the enhancement we are looking at is tracking frequency of usage and variant name created. For example, for the payroll transaction, we created a few variant (a,b,c,d). Is there any standard report we can check-which variant we use most; who created the variant, last change, last access,how many time we use the variant.
Thanks in advance

There is a table VARID where you can see who created the variant plus the date and time. This table also has the changed by details again with date and time.
If the payroll transaction is run with a job i.e. sm37 then from there you can click on "step" and get the variant name.
Please mark helpful or correct answers.
If you can give me more detail of what it is you required then let me know.

Tracking All Transactions on an Instance

Hi All,
We currently have a project requirement where we need to report all the transactions run by a (rather large) set of users over a certain period of time (e.g. last week).
The system in consideration is an ECC 6.0 instance.
My questions is: What is the best practice method to perform this type of activity?
Is it by using SAP standard transactions (e.g. SM20, STAD, ST03, etc) or are there programs that can elegantly provide the desired data in the desired format?
We did review SAP standard transactions and found them lacking one way or another (e.g. STAD does not allow us to filter by user, ST03 requires us to manually click on each user to identify the transactions run by them, etc). At this point - the ABAP code route appears attractive to us
Any IC and/or tips in the matter would be greatly appreciated <b><REMOVED BY MODERATOR></b>.
Thanks.

I work for IBM and found the answer in house. Here it is:
The standard ways of determining the transaction usage would require you to activate statistics or the system-wide logging which can potentially consume huge amounts of disk space besides causing performance isues. Also check to see if ERP 6.0 supports specific transactions meant for auditig certain users; I do recall the security team talk about the same here but this needs to be checked out.
Alternatively you can use the enhancement S38MREP1 and the function module exit component within the same to code in your logic to track transaction usage; this gets called at the start of each transaction including development transactions. You can restrict your code to look at a specific set of transactions or just custom Ztransactions alone.
Within the exit, code in logic that would populate a custom table (preferably in update task) where you can track the caller(s)(specific list of callers if needed) of the concerned transactions, date of call, number of times the transaction was called, IP addresses etc. We had used teh same to analyze the active transactions being used in a 4.6C system for upgrade purposes and had no issues whatsoever with performance.
Additionally you may need to develop a simple ALV report to report off of this table(s).

RE:Transaction usage report not updating.

Hi All,
I am on 5.2 SP9 and I am facing an issue wherein the transaction usage report is not getting updated by the lateast report. To illustrate, I created a role with transaction PFCG and assigned it to a user. Now, when the user executes the PFCG, the report should be updated and it should show that this user also executed PFCG today, which isn't the case.
Would like to know if anyone has a clue how to resolve the same. As in, did i miss out on anything which needs to configured/done before running this report.
Thanks a tonne in advance.

Hersh.

Hello Joy,
Thanks for your reply but the transaction usage reports I am mentioning here are actuallyu the transaction usage reports for "Role Expert" not for "FireFighter".

Problem in Transaction Usage report in Virsa toolbox in virsa FF

We have recently installed virsa firefighter.
When we run Transaction Usage report in Virsa toolbox,selection by " Transaction",it gives all the transaction run in the particular client till date and not just the tcode for which we want the report.
For can be the reason for such a result?

Hi,
This may be possible if the trace is activated in the TA ST01. But it is not advisable to keep this trace for a prolonged period as it has an adverse effect in the system performance.
For a smaller user base, u can enable the security log in TA SM19, The report can be pulled from TA SM20.
Hope this helps.

Transaction usage report in 4.6B

Hi,
I'm trying to get a transaction usage report of the last 3 months out of 4.6B.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
This information is easier to get to in 4.7, but I can't find it in 4.6B.
Please help.
Thanks

Thank you Ashley!
What you have done in your systems in very admirable - although I know some folks who claim that if you lock down people's access to such an extent that they become inflexible (e.g. cannot start arbitrary reports of their choice)... then it motivates them more to find those loop-holes you refer to which appear from time to time, instead of keeping them blissfully ignorant. I am not one of those folks though, and don't believe in "security in obscurity" because I am sure that someone who enters the system with malice or fraudulent intentions will not care about it either...
2 "gotchas" with reports are those intended only for background jobs and therefore don't have a transaction code to start them, necessarily. I guess it is not that difficult to create one, and there is also the possibility to debug programs scheduled in SM37 using the job-debugger (JDBG).
The other is that some standard reports are delivered without a transaction code to start them, or at least none which is obvious. Again, I guess one could easily create a transaction to start the report if there is intention to use it periodically.
I think much of this new awareness (and legal requirements) came long after the ABAP reporting itself was invented, and this causes some teething problems and a transition phase in the SAP world.
In very early days, there was nothing to stop a user from running a report... (except the checks in the report itself). Those were "the good old days"...
Then came SA38 for ABAP reporting purposes and ABAP itself (as it's German acronym hints at) was for customers to create additional reporting outputs... (ha ha ha :-).
The best (and most consistent) security is still that each program (including function modules, particularly if they are remote enabled and methods) perform the the correct authority-checks which are niether too weak nor too strict, because this mitigates many of the risks when answering the "what if the user can break out of the tcode?" question. This is one of the reasons why I am a big BAPI fan (see transaction BAPI).
To me it seems that the greater the risk of starting reports is percieved to be, the less confidence in the quality of the programming is hiding behind it. This is true of programs from all name ranges.
My 2 cents,
Julius

App to track iPhone app usage

Does anyone know if there is there an application to track iPhone app usage?

Since all apps are "sandboxed", there won't be any app like that.

ST03 N for Transaction usage since one year

Hi gurus,
I know we can do transaction usage analysys for a period say like year...In ST03 or ST03 N but i forgot how to do thta...could u please tell me how to find out A transaction is been used by which user since one year or some x period of time..
Thank you

2 ideas come to my mind :
One year ! As data is probably exported to a file before being purged, ST03N won't help you. It's better to analyze the exported file (admins usually export to excel file, so that they are able to compare performance at different times, for example to make sure response time does not increase).
In ST03N, there is a "transaction profile" view or something like that, but I don't think you can get a 2 dimensional table with user and transaction (as ST03N is performance-oriented)

GRC - Role Expert v5.2: how does the Transaction Usage functionality work

Hi All,
re: GRC - Role Expert v5.2: how does the Transaction Usage functionality work
We are implementing GRC suite v5.2, but specifically my question is regarding Role Expert:
SAP documentation states that it is possible to use Role Expert to do the following: for roles allows you to see if, or how much, a transaction is being used, when it was last used, and who used it.
My question is how without Audit Log or RBE?
Let me know if you have ever used this functionality and if it requires the SAP Back-End Audit Log to be turned on or RBE.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Gary,
You dont need a RBE tool activation to get the successful transaction usage log with Role Expert.
Role Expert functionality allows you to log all the transactions that have been added/deleted to the role that is changed. Also when you create a new role via the Role Expert then automatically the transaction log starts.
If you go the "History" tab in the Role Expert, then you can find all the last changes made to the role.
Also you can go to the "Risk Analysis" tab to find the log of Risk Analysis performed with the added tcodes.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Kiran Kandepalli.

Possible for Solution Manger to track Transaction usage?

Dear Experts,
I want to track the usage of SAP transactions by the users in some systems over 1 year period. Based on some online reading, I can see the 2 options:
1. Via SM19 Security Audit
2. Via STAD (short term only)
However, with all the system monitoring features brought in by Solution Manager, is there a way to use Solution Manager to serve the same purpose?
Thanks & Regards,
Li Bin

Whilst not specific to solman, wouldn't ST03/ ST03N be a better alternative and increase the retention period from 3 months to 13 or or so?

How to track the transactions

hi all,
we have an application developed in oracle forms 6i and the data base is oracle 9i.
please let me know if we have any option to track all the transactions happened at particular time.(what are all the queries get executed when using the application at particular time).
For ex: if we are creating a new record using this application. what are all the queries get executed, what are all the tables get affected with this transaction.
Thanks in advance...

user609996 wrote:

One option is the DBMS_SYSTEM package ....

Need help figuring how to track DVD drive usage

I work at a public library and need to track how often the DVD drives are used by our patrons. Is there some count somewhere of how many times the drive is accessed? The only other way I can think of to do this is to run a script that will check
if any files exist at E:\ and then sleep for 1 minute and check again. Then, create a log in a central location that the script can update if the file exists.
Anyone able to come up with a better idea? I would really appreciate any input.
Thanks
Tamara

Yes, I am a technician. I work at the library that I am attempting to collect this usage info from. I just need to know how often our patrons use the drives because we may not offer the drives in the future and I would like to track a couple
months of usage to determine how this will affect the patrons.
Yes, the PCs are very locked down, but since I am the one that locked them down, I can get the script to run.
Thanks for the info about the event log. I will work on a script to filter those events. Seems like that would give me my answer!
Thanks again for the help!

Batch tracking and material usage analysis

how do we track the batches and material usage analysis in case of any customer complaint?

You can use the reports BMBC, MB56, MCRE, MCRX.
If you want to track by batch wise then batch traceability report MB56.
Hope this helps you.

Tracking Data Transfer usage

I have a web-site (web.mac.com/jmiller22) created using iWeb and hosted on iDisk. A little over a month ago I started posting my internet radio show to my web-site as a podcast. The podcast is also available from the iTunes Music Store. I've now started getting e-mails from .Mac as my Data Transfer usage creeps up (90% according to today's e-mail). I run StatTracker on my site and it does a nice job of tracking site visits but it doesn't appear to track downloads. I'm not finding anything on the .Mac site either (apart from disk usage) and I'm not getting any feedback from iTunes (I'm not sure if I really expected any). How do other folks track podcast downloads and other data transfer usage on .Mac?
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

James,
I'm doing fine, thanks.
I don't make Podcasts or use these special "feeds" so I'm really not sure of the steps.
iWeb uses special code (the long string identifier) and a javascript file to point to the URL of the file. The RSS created in iWeb and then Published to .Mac does all the magic.
I would think that an edit of the .js file to point to the new location of the file would be all that's needed to keep things working.
Never tired it but it seems like a no-brainer workaround of the bandwidth limits in .Mac service. I guess someone with a file and a server could test the theory.
I've placed many of my "movies" into my iDisk Public folder so one file can do multiple work. It would be the same if I had a different server.
Another method would be to upload the file to the other server first and then make the iWeb page. "Drag" the URL into iWeb and it shouldn't be uploaded to .Mac when the page is published (I think and no way to test).
