How to Flag Unused Documents with 360Eyes

Overview

360Eyes can automatically identify unused documents on your BusinessObjects platform by analyzing usage data from the SAP BusinessObjects Audit database. Unused documents are flagged with the tag #TOARCHIVE in their description field, making them easy to target for archiving or deletion with 360Plus.

Prerequisites

  • SAP BusinessObjects Auditing must be enabled and configured (see SAP BusinessObjects Auditing vs. 360Suite – Understanding the Difference).

  • The 360Eyes Audit database connection must be configured in the 360Suite Admin Console.

Procedure

1. Configure the flagging parameters

Update the following parameters in 360Eyes.param:

Parameter

Example value

ia.content

Report types to analyze

content.flag

Enable flagging

ON

content.flag.month

Number of months without usage to consider a document unused

13 (most common)

2. Run the 360Eyes_IA job

Run the job with the -no_impact_analysis flag so that only the usage analysis and flagging step is executed.

To add the flag:

  1. In the CMC, go to Folders360Eyes Jobs.

  2. Right-click 360Eyes and select Default Settings.

  3. Select Program Parameters.

  4. Append -no_impact_analysis to the Arguments field.

Result

All documents matching the criteria (report type and inactivity period) will have #TOARCHIVE added to their description field. These flagged documents can then be archived or cleaned up using 360Plus.
