Problem in developing a Portal Activity Report iView

I have developed a Portal Activity Report iView and assigned some iviews to the "Specify Report Content" option! I am supposed to get the user information but instead, I see the message "No content available for the specified period".
Am I missing anything?
Can someone help me out in this regard!!!

Keep in mind that the Portal Activity Reporting functionality only collects user information from hits to pages that have the Monitor Users property set to true. You can monitor the number of hits to an iView, but cannot collect user information about those hits. If you need this kind of information for an iView, I would recommend adding the iView to a page and then collecting the activity reporting information you need from the page hits.
See <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/58/7e234239f75733e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Configuring iViews/Pages for Data Collection</a> for more information.
Hope this helps,

Portal Activity report Iview - All Zeros !?!

Hello Folks,
I followed to documentation step by step to enable the "Portal Activity Iview" in operations. I always get zeros instead of correct values when I preview the Iview.
What can be wrong? We are using Portal 6.0 SPS 12.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I suspect you have not configured your data collection service properly
Please refer to the link below to know how exactly the Portal activity report must be configured.You may need to configure the data collection service in order for your iview to start showing data.The aggregator needs to be started ,for this to take place.Please follow the information in the link.In case you have trouble,please checkup if you can manually start the aggregator,which is located in ..jc00j2eeclusterserver0appssap.comirj

I would like to know how to execute this Portal Activity Report after making this configuration.
Can anyone help me.
Thnx in advance

Kris

Hi Kris,
here an example with steps:
1. Navigate to Content Administration -> Portal Content
2. Step into a test folder and right click on the folder to create a new iView
2. Select the template "Portal Activity Report iView"
   Name: Daily User Logins
   Technical Name: DailyUserLogins
3. Open the newly created iView and define the following parameters
   under "Specify report content"
      Start of Reporting: Date 01.01.2005 and Time: 08:00
      End of Reporting: Date 31.12.2005 and Time: 24:00
      Time Unit for Reporting: Daily
   under "Configure report options"
      Information to Report: Number of users logged on
You have created a new reporting iView, aggregating information about the number of anonymous and authenticated users on a daily basis.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Portal Activity Report -- Simplification?

Hi all,
 I've been working with the Portal Activity Report iView for a couple of weeks now trying to develop some metrics for our company to measure the portal usage by. I didn't have any problems with the user reports, but I had a lot of issues with the iview/page reports. Although I sucessfully found and charted the daily data, it took a painstakingly long time because of several factors:
 - There was so much data that I had to shift through for about 1.5 months, upwards of 11000 rows.
 - I did not need most of the data as this is the first report being generated for the company, they just want more general metrics rather than detailed metrics. However, the company may still want reports on the other data later on, so we can't just disable the collection of data on most of our iViews.
 - The format of the date column in the iView/Page report did not sort well in Excel. Instead, I had to convert the dates to the more traditional mm/dd/yyyy format so that they sorted properly. This didn't take too long, but it was still an issue.
 - Unfortunately, when the portal was deployed, and still now, we do not have naming conventions for our iViews. This resulted in there being many object names (column heading) that were the same even though they were different iViews and pages (for example, an "About" iView exists on many pages). The only way to differentiate them was based on the PCD location, which is very long and not the best way to have to look at and sort through data.
 - Lastly, we only collected data for iViews/Pages that got at least 2 hits. This was fine for iViews/Pages that usually got 10 or more hits per day. However, for iViews that didn't get 2 on any given day, no data was reported. This is what we intended, obviously. But it became a problem when I went to go graph the data because I was using line charts with multiple lines (series) on them (for example, I grouped all the different search iViews onto one line chart to compare which search pages are getting used the most). Here is an example graph that I had to create dates and 0's for because the bottom two series had days were missing some days because they got less than 2 hits: <a href="http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/7365/examplegraphvd8.jpg">Example Graph</a>. Some of the series wouldn't have the same number of points because there were some days that were missing because they got less than 2 hits. This meant I had to go back and manually add in rows of missing dates along with 0 hits to make the graph correct.
 So, now that I've detailed the problems and issues, here is my real problem going forward. The executives would like monthly reports on the portal. Ideally, this process would be as automatic as possible. I was hoping people could suggest best practices for gathering and sorting through the data so that it doesn't take anywhere near as much time to group and identify key iViews and pages. Is there any way to selectively download data about iViews/Pages without turning off the data collection on other iViews/Page? Also, is there any way to automate the downloading of the iView/Page and User reports from the portal given a time interval such as every 30 days? Has anyone else run into similar problems in their own positions and, if so, can you make suggestions about how you have improved the reporting and charting process? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Ariel,
Check the database table WCR_WEBCONTENTSTAT, and see if any data is being generated. This will determine if the problem is data generation or the reporting of the data.
If there is no data, the only possibility is that the Montiro Hits is false, but this is not the default and is unlikely.
If there is data, check the aggregationlevel field and the timestamp of the data, and create a report for this period and aggregation level. For example, if the aggregation level is "q" generate a quarterly report for the time period.
Hope this helps.

Portal Activity Reports Combinations

Dear Portalites,
I am confiuring a Portal Activity Reporting iView. And I have some fundamental issues
The Environment
A. Webdynpro Java Applications running on normal Enterprise Portal Environment
B. Custom Built JAVA applications runing on URL iViews
The Requirements
A. wants Username, date, time, page name (meaningful name for us), session id , browser type (User Agent u2013 to track if the app is accessed using iPad or Desktop).
B. wants number of users accesing an application, technically consisting of several applications provided to users via webdynpro iViews.
What has been done?
For "B" configured Number of users who logged on
The real Issue
. For "B" the report shows anonymous users. What are they? in fact the number of hits for anonymous users are more that authentcated sers. I have all my anonymous users locked. I am finding hard to explaint t for the audits.
. For "B" tried configuring "Details about the users who logged on", but it shows all the users outside the time zone as well!
. For "B" Tried configuring "Page/iView activity", but the user logins eems to have doubled up shwing same hots for iViews and pages. Should I only monitor iView or Page intead of both?
WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR "A"
Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,
> the number of hits for anonymous users are more that authentcated sers.
> I have all my anonymous users locked.
I don't know your portal setup, but as an anonymous user does not have to log in, locking the users should have no effect (didn't test it, but this is very probable, as locking should only play it's role while logging in).
So, as long as you can access your portal anonymously, you know where the access numbers are from. If not, it's an issue hard to discover remotely in a forum; might be a case for an OSS message (but technically this sounds a bit unprobable for me).
Best regards

Portal Activity Report - Aggregator System Load

Hey Everyone,
What is everyone's impression of the Portal Activity Report? Is it helpful? Do we really have anyother options to get valid reports on usuage? Also, what type of load does the Aggregator really put on its server?
Thanks

Hi Craig
Gives good stats around the Users Logged on (or is it really sessions!) as well as PCD contents that are accessed by end users. So for example if you wanted to know which particular iViews arent being used much by end users you could revisit them and look at changing them or removing them.
You could by looking at the users logged in try and come up with which region the users logged in from or the business unit and then try and address the scenario of why a certain business unit does have many users using the Portal.
Now to the more technical aspect:
Out of the box you dont need to do much to get it going, check out: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/58/728ea01cf64fff996b827f2a06f9b1/frameset.htm
This will give you the details to get it running. Upto SP12 you didnt have the option of putting the password in the aggregator service so a user had to intervene to start the service. However, SP13 onwards this has been reintroduced such that you can schedule it as a Windows task and it will run every day!
Also out of the box you will create iViews based upon Portal Activity Report iView. However there is a downside - it does not allow end users to change the reporting period. This is controlled at an iView property level. But to get around it you could use the Web Service exposed to create your own version which allows for a dynamic date range as well as get the userids of the end users who logged in (this is stored in the DB tables but not exposed by the standard report). Web Service details at: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/ba25f8b0731d69e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
Also look at NW Developer Guide and Consuming a Web Service for examples on how to use this web service...
Also it integrated with Solution Manager Diagnostics! So can be quite handy...especially for the big bosses to look at some figures
Hope this helps...

Portal Activity Reports - Anonymous Users

Hello Experts,
we are using the Portal Activity Report Iview because we need to know how many users are logging during the week.
But the report created shows a lot of ANONYMOUS USERS logged...
We don't have any anonymous settings on our contents, so I cannot understand which could be the cause...
Any Ideas??
Thanks in advance

Creating activity reports Iview

Dear all,
How can we create activity reports iview which contains all the three iviews of standard template given by SAP. If i try to create the iview by using the template given by SAP i can able to display only one iview of the activity reports. Please suggest on this.
Regards,
Suman

Hi,
You can created one iview with one portal activity report iview.
If you want the remaining iviews , you have to create another two portal activity report iviews.
It is a radio button in the portal activity report iview. If you select one you cannot create another in the same report iview.
You can all the three report iview in a single page.
Hope that helps

How to display an USERID on "Portal Activity Report - Pages and iViews"

HI,All.
I have a question.
It is as follows.
A purpose：
iView of EP is used and called for contents of the WEB-AP server of various (Tomcat(Java)).
The acquisition of "EP login user ID" is difficult from the log of each WEB-AP server.
It wants to acquire information on "Which iView which EP login user how many times executed?" by using EP, and analysis/to use it.
A present specification：
"Only information on "Number of users using iView" can be acquired in this function
though "Page and iView of portal activity report" of EP was verified to achieve the above-mentioned purpose.
It is impossible to analyze it, that is, "Which user ID used iView?".
A question：
In "Page and iView of portal activity report"
How should I do to display "Which iView how many times did each EP login user execute?"?
Or, I want to know if there is a table with the informations.
Environment：
EP6.0　SP18
OS:WindowsServer2003 EE sp1 rc2
CPU:Xeon3.2GHz x2
MEMORY:4GB
HDD:36GB*2
Other:Clustering
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
You can try Setting the 'Monitor Users' property of the pages to 'Yes'. We did this for one of our portal but there seem to be a slight performance trade-off.

Hi Sandeep,
Thank you for your inputs.
I had raised an OSS Message with SAP some days ago on this issue. SAP has replied back saying that only users with Content Administration role can have access to configure portal acyivity report. All other users can only view the results.

Portal Activity Report - could not see the latest iview /pages hits.

I have configured my own iviews where they will display the 2 weeks iviews/pages that are accessed by users and count (hits) , but I am not able see the iview hits and iview names or pages hits or names in this Portal activity report, I could see only very old iviews not latest.
Suggest me if there are any settings or configurations that I need to make.

Portal Activity Report

Hi,
I am working on EP 7.0 SP 18. I have created an Activity Report iView to track which users have used my WebDynpro application.My Wedynpro application is on a page and the Monitor User property of the page is also turned on.
I am able to see the data for some days but it does not show any data for the later days.
What could be the problem? The raw data gets saved in the portal database.Is there any limit to the data that can be stored.I configured my Service to save data every 5 minutes.
Pls Help.
Warm Regards
Saurabh

Try taking the report every hour or so Rather than every 5 minutes .. as far as i know there is No limit to the amount of portal activity that you can store other than the actual size of the database ..
other than that i am pasting a few links which you might know but might still be of some use to you . ..

Portal Activity Report with Selection criteria

Hi All,
I have created an iview using 'Portal Activity Report' template, added the iview to page and page is added to the role which is created for this report. Also, users were assigned to the new role. When users go to portal and see this report, they are seeing the final output of this report along with the 'Download Report' option.
My requirement is to give selection screen option (Type of report and Reporting period) to users. So that users will change the selection criteria and run the report as per their need. Please advice me on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Swapna.

swapna,
you can do this by creating a webdynpro application for accessing the database tables, the list of data base tables is in this [help |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/48/6aa9429b930b31e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]document and use web dynpro application to connect to that tables.
