Another way to look at this would be to have some basic auditing (logon, refresh, view) enabled. Auditing is outside of Query Builder, but you could simply query our auditing tables for ANY records for users you suspect. In fact, if you have a complete list of BusinessObjects users you could query the Auditing Tables (Audit_Event is really the only one you would need for this query) against your list of users and return all users that have no auditing records. These would be the users that have not logged in to the system (since the table was last purged).

I don not know whether it is correct to ask here or not.

When I run a query in query builder I came to know some users SI_LASTLOGONTIME is null.

is it really true? or I need to try it any other way to get the users last login time.

Query: select si_name from CI-sysobjects where SI_lastlogontime = null

I got some user names for that query.

Actually I am sure that those users had logeed into BO environment at some point

can you help me regarding why I am not able to get those users last login time.

This is my first comment on your blog!! I am very new to this BO tech and I hav been visiting your blog quite frequently. Its really good.

I need to find out which user has modified the report. In CMC, we can just see the modified date. Is it possible using Query builder? If not, is there any other way we can get this info?

Thanks!!

One question regarding Query Builder: Would it be possible to extract the WebI reports that users have access to?

Cheers,
John

I’ll have to check now if I can get this info using audit database.

Thanks for the reply!
I already tried queries similar to suggested one, but the problem is in the output it gives everything in terms of ID instead of their description. For example if I have a schedule to be run for Grp1,Grp2 based on calendar Cal1 ,it will show me ids for Grp1 ,Grp2 and Cal1 under field “SI_MULTIPASS” and “SI_CALENDAR_TEMPLATE_ID” respectively.

Information in this format is difficult to interpret.
Is there a way to get description of groups or calendars instead of their ids.

SELECT
*
FROM
ci_InfoObjects
WHERE
si_instance = 1 AND
si_recurring = 1


You could also further refine this by appending the document type, such as “si_kind = ‘WebI’; however, your schedules may have various document types which could be excluded. Please share your final query when you can.

We have a requirement to validate the definition of schedules (in terms of their recurrence, target user-group etc.) against the definition submitted by business.

Since there are too many (around 120) schedules in the system it would take lot of time to verify each schedule through instance manager. Moreover we have to generate a report from system which will serve as a proof that schedules have been defined as per the requests submitted.

Could you please suggest any query that can provide the information about the schedules created in system.

Thanks,

I used term created/logged in because in our system we have users from SAP system as well which we don’t create.

These users get created automatically in the system with their first login.

So the idea was to get count of users created(enterprise user) or logged in (SAP users)in a particular year.

Now, here is the query I am using to get this number:

SELECT COUNT(SI_ID) FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS
WHERE SI_KIND=’User’ and SI_CREATION_TIME >= ’2010-01-01-00-00′ and SI_CREATION_TIME < '2011-01-01-00-00'

Thanks again!
