Thanks Ronak,
So basically even when we are using a different service account for CMS in SIA, i should enter the auditing service account and password in the CMC-->Auditing section ---
i checked in the SQL management studio and the audit service account is listed user users-->permissions with the ability to read/write modify rights.
you mentioned if the user and password is incorrect it will not accept it -- do you mean when i enter that in CMC-->Auditing OR there willl be an entry in the auditing log files?
So for enabling auditing, is there anything else that needs to be done other than what is listed under CMC-->auditing section?
so i have the default folder for auditing i.e. sap business objects Enterprsie XI 4.0 --> Auditing.
i already see some files in it? i opened these files and actually dont understand what they are logging already when auditing is not even enabled yet -- can you give me an idea about these files and how they might chnage and what should i check to confirm that CMS is collecting the audit data correctly ?
Thanks
