Hello Forum Members,

I want to know which report is run frequently so where can i access the logs of all the reports? Is there is location(physical directory) that stores these logs…

Any help will be appreciated.

Srikanth,

I did some searching and this is what i found which will be located at the server where the Business objects resides…
The log files will be at C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Enterprise 10\Logging

But these log files dont tell you if a particular report is run it only tells you when an error occurs so that was not really helpful for me…

I also found that you can find the logs in this location too and this what i am using…

C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1 but over here there will be file for each day and in my case i am finding for the word called ReportName and then next to that there is a report file name…

Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Karen

I have looked into the folder W3SVC1 at the location C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1. There are bunch of log files located in that folder. When I searched for “reportname” or “report name”, I didnt find any thing by those names in the file. Is there any different location where log files are stored ? What is the way to get the kind of information i am looking for.

Thanks a lot !!!

Do you have auditing database configured? then you can find this kind of data in it.

What is meant by auditing database ? In my case, the crystal reports is integrated with a custom application.
