Hi,
BOEXI has an auditing feature that can do some of that and the SDK may have examples of custom code ( .NET or Java) that can access others...But, to specifically answer your question, no, CR cannot access that repository directly.
Check the Admin tools on the left side of the Admin main page in BOEXI for some of their access reports and tools as well.

Thanks for the info. The admin tools doesn't seem to have anything that I can use for this.
Is there an indirect method, such as generating a data source that tracks that information? How does, it store the reports, as a file or XML or some other method? If so, could I query the XML code, or the file directory? Is there a software package out there designed for this? Just looking for some options. Thanks again!

Hi,
Check out some of the programs listed in Ken Hamaday's site:
Otherwise you could create a custom interface for calling the reports and capture the relevant info into a database or file prior to the actual call .

You have to use the Query Language that's part of the SDK if you want to do this yourself. Most of the information in the CMS database is stored as binary data and the only way to get to it is through theh SDK.
I've written several utilities in C#.NET that extract data from the CMS, save it to a DataSet and then generate a Crystal Report off of the DataSet. If you want to try doing this for yourself, I have sample code on my website at There's also a basic "this is what you can do with the SDK" tutorial type program. Currently all of the code on the site was written in VS 2005, but I'm in the process of upgrading some of it to 2008.

A computer only does what you actually told it to do - not what you thought you told it to do.
