Logging DS Client Activities (View Data, Admin Logon)

[gsherry1]

Hello Forum,

I wish to get reports of the following activities:
1. History of connections to server using the Admin Client.
2. List of view data request within Designer Client.

Is this feasible? Is there some log available I can parse through?

Thanks,

Greg

No.
No.

You could monitor client connections by having a process continuously monitoring the DS_LICENSE file.

You can monitor their activity by enabling server-side tracing, but this carries a severe performance penalty and warns folks connecting that tracing is enabled. Also, you would need to do a lot of work to decode what goes into the trace file into a sensible report. Tell you what, try it, and then look at the trace file; my prediction is that you will discard this idea fairly rapidly.
