BusinessObjects Auditor - Structure and tables

BusinessObjects Auditor 


provides  a way to monitor and record key facts about your BusinessObjects Enterprise system. 


The information provided by the auditor answers the following questions:


- Who is using your Business Objects Enterprise system? 

- Which objects they are accessing? 

- Which groups within the company use our BusinessObjects system the most ? 

- How many concurrent user licenses are we using at any given time? 


Auditor also allows you to better administer individual user accounts and reports by giving you more insight into what actions users are taking and which reports they are accessing. 



The Audit database contains  the following main  tables:


Audit_Event 

Audit_Detail 

Server_Process 

Detail_Type table 

Event_Type 

Application_Type 


Follows the Activity universe graphic structure:




Let's see what these tables contain:
Audit_Event:  

 The Audit_Event table stores one record per action that is audited and contains general information about each audit event 

 Audit_Detail:  

 The Audit_Detail table records more details about each audit action recorded in the Audit_Event table. 
For example, when a user logon fails, the reasons for that failure are recorded as audit details. There may be more than one record in this table for each audit action recorded in the Audit_Event table. 

 Server_Process:  

 The Server_Process table contains information about the servers running within your BusinessObjects Enterprise system which can generate audit events. 

 Event_Type:  

 The Event_Type table contains a static list of the kinds of events that can be audited in the BusinessObjects Enterprise system. This table provides information roughly equivalent to that provided by AuditIDs and AuditStrings in Crystal Enterprise 

 Application_Type:  

 The Application_Type table contains a static list of the applications that can produce audit events. In BusinessObjects Enterprise XI, the applications that can be audited are servers. 

 Detail_Type table:  

 The Detail_Type table contains a static list of the standard details that can be recorded about audited events. For example, a user logon can fail for a number of different reasons.
