Cause

Some types of change audit data can take up to 32 hours to be made ready for reporting. Solutions impacted by this delay include: Compensation (except Rewards and Recognition), Performance and Goals (except Continuous Performance Management), Succession and Development (except Mentoring), Employee Profile, User Management, Proxy Management, and Role-Based Permissions.. For these solutions, you should wait for three days after the desired date range before you run the audit report. Otherwise, recent changes may not appear or the report may be blank.

The Change Audit Report could be not enabled successfully.

Resolution

If the changes you are looking forward were done less than 32 hours, you should wait to run the Audit after 32 hours.
