Topic: Tracking Report Usage. Posted: 19 Jul 2016 at 4:07am
I have just started working with Crystal Reports. The method here seems to be to create SQL code for the report data and then use Crystal Reports to format the output.
What I want to do is see how often a report is run. Is there anyway in Crystal Reports Business Objects to see when a report is run and how many times? This would help me to identify reports that are no longer in use.

Depending on what version of Crystal Reports Business Object you have you may have auditing available.. I know that in version 4.0 of Business Objects that they have auditing which can track a variety of measures. Before that we had used a third party tool that provided some tracking.

It appears from the version number (had to google a little bit) that you have the latest version. Auditing is in the CMC and there should be extensive documentation from SAP on how to configure, and view the information that auditing is capturing. I personally do not use the auditing tool myself (one of my co-workers has some experience with it).

You would need to go to SAP's web-site. As far as finding the documentation, that can be tricky with SAP. Ask the same question on http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/ (BOB forum) site. They have a good handle on where to find the documentation.

Thanks for the link but it says it can't find the page. Did part of the URL maybe get cut off? It seems like the -Dell is the part that has the problem.
