USER ACTION AUDITING
Track document usage (Deski, Webi, Crystal)
Provide document duration (Deski, Webi)
Track never used documents
Provide a comprehensive schema to report on audit
Provide short query time on audit data
360eyes gathers BOE Audit data to provide very useful information. It can produce efficient
queries (because of the specific data model used) and detect unused documents (from
repository). Information Steward & Metadata Management can't handle BOE Audit data.
CMS METADATA ANALYSIS
Provide reporting on users and groups
Provide reporting on documents (links...)
Provide reporting on universe (links...)
Provide reporting on security
Basic CMS meta-data analysis is possible by eyes and SAP tools. But SAP tools don't
provide any information on security.
OBJECTS IMPACT ANALYSIS
Documents (Webi, Deski, Crystal reports)
Document Explorer Space and Xcelsius documents
Document Universes (UNV and UNX)
Provide universe object usage per document
Provide BEX object usage per document (Webi and Xcelsius documents)
Provide SQL universe object usage per doc
Track duplicated documents
Track duplicated universes
Track unused report objects
Track unused universe objects
Track change on universes

Advanced meta-data analysis is possible by eyes and dedicated SAP tools. But there is no
pre-built documents in SAP tools for reporting (for instance, no objects usage tracking, or
duplicate documents tracking possible in SAP).
360eyes uses a specific feature to produce 'snapshots': it allows users to follow a system
through time and to compare BOE systems (different environments (Dev, QA, Prod) OR
different BOE versions).
