The AE DB
Revision Report can create detailed information reports on:
- Task starts
- Modifications
at runtime
- Task
abortions
- Imported
objects
- Deleted
objects
- Object
modifications
- Accesses of any kind
Some of the
underlying data is collected automatically anyway.
Task start
for example, is basically theStatisticwhich is stored in theAH table.
So the Revision Report takes this data from the AH table.
For
tracking object modifications there is already another feature, theVersion
Management for Objects, which is stored in thetables OH and OX. Version
Management is automatically activated when the logging for the Revision Report
is activated.
Information
which is not available so far, is stored in theXAO table.
When a
report in created using the UCYBDBRR program, it will collect data from the
tables mentioned above, based on the parameters given.
Note:Only
when the start parameter –A is used the archive flags are set. The DB Reorg
process will only remove entries from the database where the archive flag is
set.
For
example:If a system is sowing the effect that Version Management Objects are
not deleted after 30 days, which is set for the DB Reorg process (and it's running ok), the reason can be that no Revision Report was created
so far (or the –A parameter was not used).
In the end
the AE DB Revision Report is a very powerful feature, however when is swicht
on, it’s recommended to run reports regularly to avoid growing DB tables.
Enjoy the Revision
Report!
