Reports that track user actions in DMS

[jennifer_kramer2]

Hi-

Does anyone know if there are reports that would provide information about who has viewed, checked-out, check-in and copy (Shift+F7) documents in the content server?

Thanks for your assistance, in advance! (And I reward points!)

No standard ones. You can view this within the DIR with the "Display Changes" option, but you'd have to write a custom report for it.

Athol and Christoph-

Thank you both for your answers! And while it does provide me some of the data I am looking for, it is missing some of the data I need.

I also need to provide if someone viewed and/or copied the file. I was thinking of turning on the full trace on the content server to log which files were accessed. This would tell me if a document was viewed, but it wouldn't tell me what exactly happened to the document.

I know that SAP help says that I shouldn't leave the full trace on in the production environment. So, I am not sure that it is a good idea. Any ideas of why they say it is a bad idea to leave the full trace on?

Thanks again-

Hi Jennifer

Can't tell you about the trace, but you have have to write this as a custom if you wanted the functionality. We have done this previously for a government customer and I can tell you that it generates a massive amount of data to so you need aware of the dangers from a data growth perspective.

Regards,

Hi Jennifer,

you can use program MCDOKABL for this function. This program is also used for the 'Display Changes' function in CV03N or CV02N too.

Best regards,

Christoph
