Question:
Hi:
Without using SM20, how could I extract data from the files audit_xxxxxxx that our SAP generates all the time?
For example, is there a sap kernel command command that lets me extract this data? or should I make a program?
The auditors in my company want to automate the process of recovering data from this files (i.e. audit_xxxxxxxx).
Any suggestion?
Very best regards
Answer:
Why?, that is what SM20 is for. What good is automation if no one watches it?
look in the SM20 reporting code to find the functionmodule to read the data
Answer:
Thanks for your attention John.
What really happens is that Audit people invoque this transaction daily, they download the info to a flat file and finally, they import to a database for controlling and statistical purposes. Many mistakes occur in this 'almost' manual process (missed options, duplication, incomplete data because of a bad choose, etc.), so they asked for an automatic solution.
I will explore your suggestion related to a functionmodule.
Best regards.
