Tracking user data

I saw a post about this a few months ago with some links but haven't been able to locate it. Basically, I was looking for information on the most popular sales tracking companies that everyone is using. They have some code snippet to put in your app that is supposed to give you some usage statistics.
Does anybody have any links to these? And have they found them to be beneficial in their own apps?

That's exactly what I needed, thanks.

  • 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.

  • Tracking user views of data

    Is there any way within CF logs to track what data the user is seeing in an application? In other words, a user visits a page where a cfquery runs, and data is output to that page. I'm running CF9 and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 in a Windows Server.
    I need a way to track this, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    There is nothing out-of-the-box for ColdFusion to log the data that is displayed on the page.  It can log the page itself.
    I do that kind of tracking with all of my apps.  It is invaluable data when issues arise.  You just need to manage it yourself.  You could use cflog to log to a file but I would recommend using a database instead for more flexibility and growth.  Then you can track whatever you need.

  • Tracking User Access to Help

    Is there a way to track user access to HTML help?  I'm wanting to be able to run a report that will tell me how often the online help is accessed either at topic level or just the full help level if that is the only possibility. Is there a plugin or third party app that can do this?
    For my Webhelp apps, I am able to tag individual html files with Omniture tags, however I can't do this for a compiled .chm file. The issue with the Omniture tags is that everytime I recompile help, I have to reinsert the tags.
    I am using Robohelp 8, HTML Help and Web Help
    Thanks in Advance,
    Diana Weber

    Hi Diana.
    With the web output you could try using something like Google Analytics or even invest in the RoboHelp Server application. However neither of these will work with HTML Help. The problem with HTML Help may not be the feasibility of recording hits on a file but pricacy concerns by the user. The Windows System Monitor records file hits but you'd have to manage a way of homing in on the data on each end user's PC!

  • I have a numbers spreadsheet for tracking company data.  I want to copy the format of the spreadsheet (rows, columns,and formulas) but have all of the data fields be blank for the new year.  How do I do that?

    I have a numbers spreadsheet for tracking company data.  I want to copy the format of the spreadsheet (rows, columns,and formulas) but have all of the data fields be blank for the new year.  How do I do that?

    click and hold on one cell, then drag to select the range, then release, then type the delete key.  Only inlude cells in the range you do not want to keey the contents of the cell.  You can remove one-off cells by holding the command key and clicking cells to add or remove as needed.

  • Tracking displayed data

    Hi,
    What method can be used to track what data user had on his/her screen?  There are privacy laws associated with certain data elements such as social security numbers.  What method could be used to record each instance where an SAP user displayed data that is classified as sensitive and actually record the data that was displayed?
    It may help illustrate this with an example:  say it is a bank.  customer calls and does not have her account number handy.  the call center rep attempts to locate it and finds out by accident sensitive information about another bank customer.  The idea here is to have a log that shows that this call center rep was looking for customer account X, but also had on the screen information about customer account Y and that is how that call center rep could have come to possession of the information on customer account Y.
    Any ideas on how this could be done are appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Mike

    1) make one custom table with fields like [sy-uname, sy-datum, sy-uzeit, screen number etc...)
    2) Identify appropiate PBO Module (for the screen in which you want the security feature)
    3) make one implicit enhancement (only in the case where you are unable to identify user-exit or BADI's) at start or end of module.
    {this ensures your code will run each time any user opens the screen}.
    4) in the implicit enhancement implementation code to fill (INSERT) in the table with the system values.
    5) make a simple report to display the contents of the table.
    Working : each time any user opens a particular screen, the custom table will get appended with the name, date, time etc. detials of the access of particular screen.
    Hope this will help.

  • Tracking user

    Hi all,
    Is there any way to keep track of users who has changed the db.Let, there is a table where any user can insert,update or delete data. Is there any way to identify the user who have done that?
    thanks in advance.

    You can track user activities by either:
    setting up Audit on specific objects on certain users.
    tracking activities from the redo log file / archivelog file by means of the logminer.

  • Microsoft user data recovery

    I have accidently delete the microsoft user data folder and empty the trash bin, so I lost the import microsoft outlook email.
    how can I recover this folder? thanks.

    Unless you have a backup, from Time Machine or some other backup, then you probably cannot recover that folder. To have any hope of recovering your tracks, though, you need to immediately stop using your system and then go out and get a copy of a recovery tool such as Tech Tool Pro (Micromat) , Data Rescue (Prosoft Engineering), or File Salvage (SubRosaSoft). The chances generally aren't really good even so, particularly with Mac OS X which reuses space much differently than did earlier versions of Mac OS, but short of sending your drive to a data recovery service (expensive and by no means guaranteed), such utilities are your only hope.
    Note that the more you use your system before you attempt recovery, the more likely it is that the system will overwrite the sections of the drive where the data you want to recover is stored, rendering it unrecoverable by any means. You should therefore stop using the system completely until you get and try to use one of the file recovery tools.
    Good luck.

  • OIM 9.1 User data set

    Hi,
    In release note of 9.1 it is mentioned that :
    Display of all OIM User attributes on the Step 3: Modify Connector Configuration page
    On the Step 3: Modify Connector Configuration page, the OIM - User data set now shows all the OIM User attributes. In the earlier release, the display of fields was restricted to the ones that were most commonly used.
    and
    Attributes of the ID field are editable
    On the Step 3: Modify Connector Configuration page, you can modify some of the attributes of the ID field. The ID field stores the value that uniquely identifies a user in Oracle Identity Manager and in the target system.
    Can anyone please guide me how to get both things as I am getting only few fields of user profile in OIM-USer data set and also not able to modify ID field.
    I am using OIM 9.1 on Websphere application server 6.1
    Thanks

    Unfortunately i do not have experience using the SPML generic connector. Have you read through all the documentation pertaining to the GTC?

  • What happens to my local user data? -newbie question sorry

    Hi All,
    Firstly apologies if this seems a dumb question, I've scoured the forums but I require something that fits my specific situation.
    I've had a (my first) MacBook for about 9 months, built up a fairly healthy local user, setup just how I like it, MobileMe, iTunes, Chrome, iPhoto library, lots of other apps, etc etc and so forth.
    I'm setting up a Mac Mini Server, and was wondering what I can do to join the new server, but take all my settings/downloads/iTunes etc with me... I don't want it all stored on the server, but I come from a Micro$oft Windows background. With MS, when you add a PC to a domain, login with the appropriate user account, you have a fresh profile, no settings, no files, no customisations etc etc is this also the case when I hit that Join Network Account server button on my Mac? Will I get a blank fresh account on my Macbook?
    I'm guessing this must happen quite often as people start their way into Apple technology and build up a nice healthy local account before branching further into the Apple world...

    The two laptops I use everyday have access to all the servers via my network account. It is set so that my user account is listed as having "no home" So I log into the laptop with my local user account with a UID of 501 but access all the network services via the go menu and my network account of the same name but with a UID of 1034.
    For all other users in the company, if they are on a laptop, I use network accounts. The machines are managed to ask if the user wants to create a mobile account when they login. For permanently assigned laptop users, the answer is yes. This puts their home on the laptop and ties them to that machine. I use mobile account syncing to make sure their critical data is copied to the server for backup.
    By having the machine ask to create the mobile account, users can answer no and login to their network home. The use of the laptop may be needed temporarily if a regular workstation is down.
    Once in a while I will need to convert a local account to a network account. While a bit more laborious that setting it up correctly at the beginning, it can be done.
    But I never let any user account have the UID of 501. I would set that up as the local admin account I use for installing updates and performing other maintenance. If needed, I would back up the user data and erase and re-install the OS.

  • Date Manipulation Depending on the various user date settings

    hi,
    I have a query.
    In scripts, user date format setting is YYYY.MM.DD, values stored the table MHND are also in the format YYYY.MM.DD.
    However when i pass the date values from MHND from form to subroutine pool the dates are available in the format DD.MM.YYYY in the subpool.
    I want to calculate the diffenece between two dates. I have checked the function modules to calculate the differece betweent 2 dates those acccepts dates with type YYYYMMDD.
    However i tried to bring my dates in from YYYY.MM.DD into YYYYMMDD format by using CONVERT_DATE_INTERNAL function module... That is not working as the user date format is YYYY.MM.DD and the dates are coming in subpool in DD.MM.YYYY format....
    Please suggest me the approach the relavant function modules.... so as to manipulate the dates based on the user date settings.
    Looking forward for your replies. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Anuja.

    hi anuja,
    Try using the following formatting  script symbol in your form routine
    For example, you are passing the date into the subroutine then put K after the date field like below.
    &date(K)& .
    or
    use SET DATE MASK : YYYY:MM:DD
    Thanks,
    Vamshi

  • Tutorial - how to track user progress in a Captivate movie

    I wanted to start working with the new scripting capabilities
    in Captivate 4 and thought a good first project would be to create
    a set of variables and custom actions and execute the actions based
    on the state of the variables. I wrote up a description/walkthrough
    with screenshots and the source .cp is downloadable here:
    http://elearninglive.com/wordpress/2009/01/tracking-user-progress-in-captivate-4-using-var iables-and-actions/
    Hopefully it proves useful to others!
    A couple of things I mention at the bottom of the post in
    regards to the new features in CP4:
    1. The actions window is amazingly slow once you add more
    than a handful of actions. Perhaps it's just my machine? I have a
    very fast machine with lots of ram, but perhaps it's something
    unique to my environment?
    2. You can't 'chain' actions. In other words, you cannot use
    'execute multiple actions' setting to execute user-created actions,
    just the built-in ones, which seems to me a pretty big limitation.
    I had to work around it.
    3. As an add-on to #1 above - there is no way to
    import/export code. Since the actions window is so slow it would be
    ideal if we could just import code written in a text file, or
    better yet, have a simple code editor (like the actions panel in
    Flash).
    My 2 cents, fwtw, as a new CP4 user....

    The biggest problem Authorware had was poor marketing. Second
    was it had no
    way to natively create the eye-candy that Flash was wowing
    the world with.
    Third, there was no attempt by Macromedia modernise
    Authorware with a lot of
    very basic things that would have made a huge difference to
    everyone's
    perception of the tool
    Fourth, Marketing kept telling people Authorware was dead,
    from about
    Authorware 5. I think the Flash team was on a bonus for
    converting people

    I think it is clear to those of us that have had to move to
    Captivate from
    Authorware that Captivate is *very* lacking in specific
    advanced features
    and functionality that old hands are used to. As with any
    product, users are
    bombarding adobe with requests that boost the power and scope
    of Captivate.
    It's a natural progression.

    I agree - but it is a lot closer this time around :-)
