Auditing Changes in Profitability and Cost Management

You can monitor activity and changes in your application using the Audit feature in the Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console, and then generate audit reports detailing the results.

There are three types of audit reports available:

• Security reports

• Artifact Reports

• Config Reports

The audit reports contain activity details for the selected audit area, including the following information:

• Date

• Application

• User

• Artifact type and name

• Task that was performed

Auditing must be enabled before you can generate reports, as outlined in the following procedure. These reports can be exported as CSV files. See the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System User Security Administration Guide.

To enable auditing:

1. From Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace, select Navigate, then Administer, and then Shared Services Console.
2. From the Shared Services Console, select Administration, then Configure Auditing.

   The Audit Configuration screen is displayed.

   
   
   
3. Select Enable Auditing.

   The Allow Global Settings Over-ride and Select Tasks list are activated.

4. Under Select Tasks, select the areas of the application to be enabled for audit. You can select an entire area, or expand each option to choose separate steps to monitor.

   Note:

   Most of these tasks apply only to Standard and Detailed Profitability applications.
