Using the Audit Report

  To open the Audit Report:

1. Select Administration, then Audit Report.

   The Audit Report is displayed.

   You can perform queries using this criteria:

   • Name or ID of the business object that were modified

   • ID of the user who made changes

   • Date on which changes were made

2. Select a query type:

   • object name — Returns data for an object whose name you enter.

   • user — Returns information about application business objects accessed or modified by the selected user ID.

   • object ID — Returns data about how the selected business object was accessed or modified.

   • date range — Returns all changes made to an application during a selected period of time. Click the calendar button, , to select a start and end date for the range.

3. Click Execute Query.

   The Audit Report provides these query results:

   • Date and time a business object was accessed or modified

   • Login ID of the user who accessed or modified a business object

   • The action taken on a business object (for example, created)

   • Name of the business object accessed or modified

   • Class name of the business object that was modified (for example, Measure)

     This information enables you to inspect the database tables directly. The class name is also useful because two different business objects may have the same name and the class name enables you to distinguish them.

   • The ID of the business object that was accessed or modified.

     This is a unique, system generated name that is automatically applied to each business object.

4. Optional: To permanently compact records before a date, click Compact Audit Trails, then click the calendar button, , and select the date.
