Starting an Ad Hoc Grid from an Audit Trail Entry

You an start an ad hoc grid by selecting an entry from the list in the Audit Trail pane. The ad hoc grid will be structured according to the POV of the selected audit trail entry.

To start an ad hoc grid from an entry in the audit trail list:

  1. Launch the Audit Trail pane for a particular Oracle Essbase cube, as described in Launching Audit Trail.
  2. Select an entry in the Audit Trail pane and, at the bottom of the pane, click Ad Hoc on Selected POV, Ad Hoc on Selected POV button.

    An ad hoc grid based on the POV of the selected entry is launched onto the active worksheet.

    For example, suppose we selected this entry, where the new value is 200, and the POV is Feb, Sales, 100-10, New York, and Actual, as noted under the entry list:

    An audit trail entry selected.

    Clicking the Ad Hoc on Selected POV button would result in the following ad hoc grid:


    A simple ad hoc grid with Actual in the row , New York in the column, and Feb, Sales and Cola in the POV
  3. Work with the grid as you would any other ad hoc grid.
  4. Repeat these steps for any other audit trail entries, as you require.
