ERP analytics use case #99–the upgrade

I’ve been working on a significant upgrade over the last couple of months and we pulled the trigger over the weekend.  Things have been going okay so far (I’m always very conservative when doing upgrades).  We’ve not had any downtime and for the main part things are working.  This is an amazing result and testament to the stability of the code coming out of JD Edwards and also the great testing from the client.

Anyway, to my point.

We had an interesting scenario where users could not use P512000 in 9.2.  I could not believe it, how could this be right.  I looked at the security records between the two releases and they were solid (the same). So I’m a bit too black and white and say “they must not have run it ever”…

I then get to google analytics for their 910 environment to see:

I choose security analysis, as this is the core of what I’m checking

drill down to security

Note that I’m using the last 3 months of data, actually looking into over 1.5 Million page views

I search for P512000

I din that it’s been used – wow security was right.

And then I see the 50 users that have loaded that application in the last 3 months.  I can see when they loaded it (time of day, day of month) and also how long it took to load.

ERP analytics is making my job easier!

By the way, it turns out that the application loads P512000A when it loads…  I needed to add security for that!
