Regd Audit Records

Hi Experts,

I m new to BASIS and need some suggestions on Audit Logs.

We usually look into audit logs in SM19 and SM20 for users who worked on the system based on a particular date as requested by the supervisor. (Maximum within 3 months of the present date)

Audit Information of a particular user is missing from this record who has actually logged into the system. (Confirmed based on certain operational evidence)

Is there any other way through which we can find the login and log out time of a particular user in SAP based on a particular date.

And is that a separate login and logout information maintained in SAP Netweaver Portal which is the interface through which the end user logs in our scenario

Regards

Anand Sekar

Hi,

SM20N is the best place. Everything else can help you but log on date and time should be in audit. Log out date and time is more complex and you can't find it in any logs. There might be multiple reasons why there is no record in SM20N. You can have filter and user does not fit the criteria. Another reason can be that somebody was able to manipulate audit record. Maybe user was not connected as dialog user.

Java AS (hence portal as well) has same functionality as ABAP AS in SM19. So search in SAP documentation for more info (I remember a recent thread on this forum with link to SAP documentation).

Cheers

Hi ,

Thanks for your quick response.

Is there any other option to check the login and logout time details of the user other than SM19/SM20 i.e Audit Log

Is there a standard functionality in SAP to do this?

I would like to have a car but it is not allowed to have wheels nor a roof nor an engine. Actually it must look like a surf board...

Is there a standard functionality in SAP to do this?

Cheers,

ps: What you are looking for is the RFC type logins. Via RFC you can also access the system of attach the SAPGui after the successfull login (if the user type supports the SAPGui front end).

Access from Java stack is typically RFC.

You must also consider job which the user might have scheduled, which also process data... (sometimes at unusuall hours or after the owner of the user account has left the company,,,,).

You need to provide more details about your problem,
