Using STAD

Question: I want to run a report on a particular user using STAD but I can not get stats past two are three days. We are running mySAP ECC v7.0. What config might we have to do. I'm thinking there hasn't been anything done since the upgrade to the report. I've read some of the past post but nothing seems to work. Your help is most appreciated.

Answer:
STAD will not get you past that limit due to the restriction on the size of the file which starts writing over itself once its full. For longer term solution, try the security audit log.

Answer:
You can run ST03 or ST03N to see more data. THe drawback is the data is summarized and if you want detailed data STAT will show you very detailed data but only for 24 hours. It is then summarized into the MONI files which ST03 uses. SAP weeds out several tcodes from STAT and summarises the data as it transferes it to MONI.

MONI is further summarized into weekly and monthly data as the files get older.

Answer:
I hate to sound like a neophyte, but since our upgrade to ECC 7.0, can you provide me with some instrux as to navigate through ST03N. STAT is no longer available in the new version and the MONI table does not tell me the information I need like what user took what tcodes on what day or I just don't know how to read it or translate it. By which, my second question is how do you translate the MONI table?

Answer:
Not sure about ECC 7.0.

But in ST03N, you can switch to Admin, then in Analysis Views, goto User Profile and double-click individual users.

Then you get Single Records which ultimately point to STAT but not sure about your version.

MONI table has fields in RAW so unsure how to translate it.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Answer:
The problem stays the same even if you go through ST03N and go to single records. Since the data is ultimately pulled from STAD, you will be able to go back about 24 hours only.

Answer:
Historically ST03N reads the summary tables and you have to tell it the time period to look at. The default may be the current day. Up to 4.7 ST03 was fed from the STAT file which could alse be read using tcode STAT. THe STAT file was condensed and put in the MONI table. Since the record is a record of tables you cannot view it in MONI, but must use the function modules ST03 uses to read the file.
