Tracking User Activities

[yelis913]

Hi,

I need to find out, by means of Java API, some user-related info: Who is logged on to Cognos 8 server? What are they doing?  Any extra info would be useful too.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks

You could query for the session objects. That will give you an overview of all users that have a session object created. But don't forget: Web Apps are stateless so a user that logs in know and close Internet Explorer will still have a session until it's timed out.

Hi there,

I'd setup auditing in Cognos 8 then read off the table.  Also this has already been covered by BSP so you are covering ground already covered by available software.
