SAP BPC Audit

SAP BPC Audit
SAP BPC is a powerful tool, when organizations have performance, scalability, or data accessibility issues need audit to reduce the process inheritance and improve the process.
BPC has Data auditing and Activity auditing.
Activity Auditing
This function tracks administrative and user tasks at the application set level.
The activity audit records information on system changes, for example, who is creating, changing, deleting applications, dimensions, security, and so on.
Show activity type has following options are available:
• All - All activity types
• Add - Only add activity
• Change - Only activity that involves changes within the system
• Delete - Only delete activity

Reporting on Data Audit Information
Planning and Consolidation records data audit information on who changed transactional data in the application. Since a data audit can only be captured for an application, this report is only applicable at the application-level.
A report shows who changed the data, what time they made the change, how they made the change (for example, through logic or Interface for Excel), and the details of the record that was changed.
The Value field shows you what SIGNEDDATA was changed to, as a result of the change. That is, it shows you the new value (neither the original nor the delta value posted to the database).
Data Auditing
this function tracks changes to transactional data at the application level, such as when and by whom records were changed within an application.
Administrators control whether data auditing is active or not. To enable data auditing, ensure an application set is within your current view, then choose Manage Data Audit.
For each application within the application set, you select a category and one or more of the following tasks to audit:
• Planning and Consolidation for Office
• Data Manager Import
• Data Manager Clear
• Logic Execution
• Live Report
• Journals

Activity auditing allows you to track the administrative tasks performed in the system. Once activity is recorded, you can run a report that shows system activity, based on specified criteria. The report shows when the task was performed, and by whom.
