SAP Audit log format string

[Former Member]

We are testing out SAP Security audit tools and wanted to see if there is a parameter change / program / tool available that will provide the log data file in a multi line format string?

The current SAP Audit log, SQL_++++++++.AUD, is 1 single line with no line breaks/line feed in the file.

Is there a parameter/ config, filename type, etc. change that will result in the log file recording each event on a seprate line i.e each event/record has a line break/line feed and not alter the look of reports from trans sm19, 20, suim etc?

Not looking for an external tool to do the conversion for now.

Thanks for looking into this....

You can read the file externally using BAPIs but you cannot change the format of the file itself.

I cannot imagine that either, as you should never change audit relevant source data! Only change the reporting, layouts, fiilters, conversions, etc in your application --> call a BAPI to read the log.
