Tracking User Activity with Standard Web Logs and Tools Like WebTrends

We are running EP 6 SP14 on UNIX and I'm looking to track user activity. Not just how many people have logged in, but who is accessing what documents in KM. For example, what documents are the most popular and how much use the system is getting.
I was hoping that EP 6 (Unix platform) ran off us some standard web engine (like Apache) and we could just turn web logs on, but from the lack of discussion on SDN, I'm not encouraged.
All I've seen is unofficial link to a Portal Activity Report, which would get us part of the way, but is not full web reporting.
Portal Activity Report:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn?id=/library/uuid/0101b690-0201-0010-6584-a02730ad5edd
Does anyone have any insight on this?

HI llise
Did you get any answers? We are in the same quandry as the exisitng tracking reports are not sufficient for our needs as our users are used to using more sophisticated tools like livestat.

Securing file download with standard web security and ssl

Hi,
I want to put some files for download in my webapp. At the same time, I want to protect these files using standard servlet security and ssl. So I added <security-constraint> in my web.xml and configured tomcat to allow SSL connection. Now I got the files protected as I expected. When I try to access the file directly from browser, tomcat shows me the login page. However, after correct login, I.E. pops up an error saying something like "Internet Explorer cannot download XXX from XXX. The file could not be written to the cache.". The log file showed the following exception:

I've tried separating concerns, for example protect files but not require SSL, and enable SSL but do not protect files. Both works respectively but not together. I also tried using a download4j's DownloadServlet. Still doesn't work.
Have any of you encouter the same situation? If so, could you enlight me what I did wrong? It maybe just a simple SSL configuration or something. Thanks in advance!
Jack

My environment setup is:
JDK 1.5.01
Tomcat 5.5.7
For downloading files, I just use plain old <a href> method. I simply right-click the link and choose "save target as...".
Thanks,
Jack

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only track it if you turned on Find my Mac in your MacBook. To track it, open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and select "Find my iPhone".
Your Mac must be connected to the Internet, and it must have your Apple ID. If not, you won't be able to track it. If you didn't register it in Find my Mac, unfortunately you can't track it anymore

Tracking user activity, 'Activity Universe'

How can I track user activity within InfoView and Central Management Console of Crystal? I need to audit which users are viewing which reports, what changes they are making, permissions that are being set and so on...
I have heard of "Activity Universe". Is it part of Crystal, I dont seen an install option when I install and I dont see any clear reference to it?

I found the audit page, that is what I need.
However... it is not available to me: "Your license does not allow auditing."
What kind of licensing do I need?
What is the cost?
Is there a webpage that clearly explains the licensing cost/options?

MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8/2.8 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo/with 4 G memory and would like to hook up an external monitor.

I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8/2.8 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo/with 4 G memory and would like to add an external monitor. I have the usual ports; 2 USBs, Ethernet, as well as a couple small ports that I do not know what they are for... sorry . First of all, is it possible to add a monitor or TV screen for a larger screen when using? Secondly, if this can be done, what do I need to buy?
Thanks so much!

Yes, it should be possible. I think every MacBook Pro ever sold has some kind of port for an external monitor. You would have to nail down which kind of port your MBP has and where on your MBP it is located.
Can you find the little "getting started" pamphlet, manual, or PDF that came with it? It should name the connectors.
My guess? If the only ports you have besides USB and Ethernet are smaller than those, you could have a Mini DisplayPort.

HT201359 Why the ISTORE of Malta is not up to date with the latest movies and series like the UK & USA and why old movies are being uploaded .

Why the ISTORE of Malta is not up to date with the latest movies and series like the UK & USA and why old movies are being uploaded .
I believe the apple should be universal in all the products and a small island like Malts should have the same products for sale on ISTORE like of the UK and USA.

The iTunes and App stores are inherently different in different countries. Local laws on copyright and other limits on the distribution of intellectual property make it impossible for Apple to simply put everything in every store. Sometimes, the owner of the intellectual property does not allow it to be distributed everywhere. Keep in mind that Apple does not own the music, books, movies and such that they allow for sale in their store front, so they do not necessarily have any say in what may, or may not appear in what store.

Try a Reset holding the Sleep button and the Home button together until Apple logo shows up and then wait for the Reset to return you to the lock-screen. If you still don't have service check Settings>General>About and then scroll down to Carrier and see if your Service Provider is listed.

I have a G4 MacMini with 10.4.11 and would like to upgrade to 10.5. I am using MYM software that runs in 9, Will 9 run in 10.5?

How often are you using MYM in 9? You could install 10.4 on a partition or external and bootup to do your MYM work. Run everything else in 10.5. This is how I transitioned my remaining 9 apps to newer apps for later OS X versions.

Standard Web Service and Customized Web Services with or without PI?

Hi All,
I want to know how I can use Standard Web Service available in SAP and customized Web Services
without PI Interface?
And what is the best practice to expose services ,via PI Interface or directly?
Thanks in advance!!
Pushkar

This is purely based on your requirement. If you use PI middleware to expose web services, you get standard functionalities such as certificate authentication, logging, message reprocessing for the failed messages etc. If your requirement is so simple, then you might not need PI. In this case you can develop simple webdynpro for abap program to create webservice and expose the webservice in ECC webservice runtime. You can let anyone to consume within your network. other ways like exposing BAPI/RFC as webservice. I would recommend going with PI.

Tracking user activity (including objects/records/data viewed)

Hello everybody,
I am looking for information regarding monitoring of user activities on the system.
I know the main instrument to achieve that is the security audit log (sm19/sm20) but that does not monitor the data user accesses to. I.E., they log the user launches transaction su01 (view/modify user data), for example, but not which user data he looks at.
Insufficient to get that are also STAD/STAT transactions too, maybe user trace st01 or st05 give that data?
Even in that case however a user trace would be very heavy on the performances and on the occupied disk space I think, so I am wondering, and asking all the experts, is if there are standard transactions to achieve the same, or maybe even external 3rd party programs.
Thank you
Marco Baiocco

> Unfortunately that is not yet really clear even to me.
I see...
> I have been passed a generic request to investigate upon tracking mechanisms: the customer wants to be able to know which user have made logon and on which data they have worked (in read only and in modification).
> I guess this could imply sensitive data but possibly also business data.
The question to be answered also is: Is it legal in the country to track all the user activity?
> If there is a solution for sensitive data, at least (btw su01 was just an example)?
I'm not really aware of any but Security Audit.
I would ask the customer what exactly he wants and what he plans to do with the data. There are SAP products (GRC) to help auditing and securing the system but first there must be a clean requirement to find out, which way to go.

Track User Activity

Hello,
I need to be able to track our user activity in a company intranet. I need to track when and capture the user name of the employee to a database so that I can build reports from it.
This is more than web statistics. I need to be able to verify that the user actually visited the page.
Any ideas and tips would be greatly appreciated! I can't find an extension that works with ASP to help me with this.
Crystal

As much as I believe in Dreamweaver for corporate intranets, due to the typical structure, your best bet is Sharepoint Server with Sharepoint Designer. You can track by the network login and do many things that would take a lot of programming for a Dreamweaver based site and it supports ASP much better than DW ever will because ASP is made by MS.

Disk array configurations with oracle redo logs and flash recovery area.

Dear Oracle users,
We are planning to buy the new server for oracle database 10g standard edition. We put oracle database file, redo logs, and flash recovery area on each of disk array. My question is what is the best disk array configuration for redo logs and flash recovery area? RAID 10 or RAID 1? Is that possible we can duplicate Flash recovery area to the other location (such as net work drive) at the same time? Since we only have single disk array controller to connect to the disk arrays, I am try to avoid the single failure that will lose archive logs and daily backup.
thanks,
Belinda

Thank you so much for the suggestion. Could you please let me know the answer for my question of FRA redundancy?

Basic auth with RESTful WEb service and Web Service reference

Hi, All,
We have made much progress on getting an application working wtih RESTful web services but now are trying to figure out how to lock down a RESTful Web service while making it available for a particular application.
We are using one of the sample 'emp' table web services that come with Apex 4.2 and are trying to apply Basic Auth to the WEb Service via Weblogic filter defined in the web.xml file. That works fine. I now get challenged when I try to go to :
https://wlogic.edu/apex/bnr/ace/hr/empinfo/
And when I authenticate to that challenge I am able to get the data. (we are usiing LDAP authentication at the Weblogic level)
However, I am not sure how to get same basic authentication to work with the Web Service reference in my application. I see the error message in the application when I try to call that Web Service:
401--Unauthorized<
And I see:
"The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.46) containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Authorization header field (section 14.8). If the request already included Authorization credentials"
How do I provide the credentials in the Web REference or do I provide credentials in the Application?
Web service works fine if I remove the RESTful web service basic auth from the Web.xml file.
Should we NOT use Weblogic basic auth and instead use basic auth from Workspace RESTful web service definition. If so, how do we implement THAT basic auth in the Web Service definition and in the Web SErvice Reference on the application?
Thanks,
Pat
