Apache log analysis for portal page visits etc

We are about to go into production with Oracle Portal (9iAS rel 9.0.2.0.1).
I have been looking into how to gather statistics on web site usage and have concluded that I cannot get the information from within portal logs since many pages are served from the cache and there is no interaction with the database at all.
I think I need to, therefore, analyse the apache log files. Can anyone recommend a good 3rd party product for log analysis? I am also concerned that the portal specific urls might severely limit the usefullness of the data I can extract.
Has anyone used a log analysis tool in conjunction with Portal or knows of a product with a specific add-on for Oracle Portal (I have seen these for other portals and CMS products).
Any pointers appreciated, I am completely new to this area.
Peter.

Peter,
You might want to look at the "ClickStream Collector" that is included in a 9iAS installation.
I'm not sure if it will do what you want with Portal, but it's starting point.
Good luck!

  • Apache log analyzer for mac?

    (note: this was posted in the OS 10.6 forum earlier, where it remained without replies. so i'm trying here now)
    i'm looking for an apache log analyzer for mac that is fairly easy to configure and use.
    have done some digging around and could not find anything that i found suitable
    (yes i've seen awstats (want to configure based on local apache - configuration too much of a headache), analog (doesn't even unarchive) and several others. )
    any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks for the reply doug.
    there was a mac binary of webalizer, which, however, seems to have disappeared.
    compiling from source is not really what i was looking forward to

  • How to run Import/Export for Portal Page

    Hi all !
    I have to export the Portal page .What are the steps I have to follow to complete the process ?I'm new to Oracle portal..
    Please help . Thanks in advance
    chris

    You could check out the Export/Import FAQ for some of your questions
    http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/DEPLOY_PERFORM/EXPORT_IMPORT_FAQ_1120.HTM
    Also see if you can get access to configuration guide for your version of portal. There has to be a chapter on how to use Export/Import utilities in Portal
    The simplest way to explain the process is
    1. Click on Export link next to the object to be exported
    2. Give a name for the transport set and export it.
    3. Download scripts for migrating the content and run it in export mode to generate the dump file.
    4. FTP the script and dump file to target
    5. Run the script in import mode to transfer the contents of dump file in target portal. The usage of scripts in export/import mode is given when you run the script without any parameters
    6. Go to the Export/Import portlet and select the transport set for import.
    7. View the logs to see if the migration has been successful.
    8. Go to the navigator and check if the object you migrated has been brought in successfully.

  • Apache Url rewrite for portal URLs

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where i need to write simple URL's for the default portal uRL's
    for example
    inspite of using default url like "http://myserver:port/portal/server.pt/community/abc_xyz/123/efg_jkl/12345",
    if user uses
    "http://myserver:port/portal/server.pt/xyz"
    It should navigate to same default URL.
    Can somebody let me know how this can be achieved.
    I know Url rewriting is done through Apache Url rewrites but do not have an idea how apache does it with portal Url's. What configurations need to be done in order to manage portal Url's with apache rewrites.
    Thanks
    Ajay

    Hi Ryan,
    Thanks for the reply. The link shows how to write the Rewrite rules in apache. I am familier with that. The actual problem is that how can the portal Url's be controlled by apache rewrites. My apache and weblogic are both on the same server instance but after writing the rewrite in httpd.conf file. It does not work out. Just want to know how can i tell apache to handle my portal Url's too.
    Is there any specific entry that we need to make for doing this.
    Thanks

    HI Abdu
    I think you need com.sp.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwcapi.jar.
    In Portal
    Goto System Administration-Support-
    portal Runtime -Browse Deployment-:ROOT/WEB-INF/portal/portalapps/com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwc/lib
    There you will get com.sp.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwcapi.jar.

    Edit Page Group Properties, Configure, locate the Default Page Template drop list.
    The drop list has only the templates from the shared object page group.
    The online help states
    =======
    Choose the page template to apply to new pages in this page group if the page designer does not explicitly choose one.
    Note: This list includes all the page templates in this page group and the shared objects page group.

  • Log changes to portal pages

    Hi,
    Not sure if this is the right forum but any ideas on how to check when a page or portlet has been changed and by whom ? A production portal site has pages that start falling over and of course noooo-one owns up to changing it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Brandon

    hi brandon,
    in portal 10.1.4 we have a new concept called CMEF (content management event framework). this allows you to hook up to every event that happens in your portal content management system. you could track all changes that are done to items on a page.
    here some more info on CMEF:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_15/portal.1014/b14135/pdg_cm_cmef.htm#CHEGDJBI
    portlets however cannot be tracked with this mechanism.
    hope this helps.
    regards,

  • Is the Nightly 12.0a1 64 bit icon in the start menu for Windows 7 supposed to have a jump list for frequent pages visited and tasks (open new tab, open new window, enter private browsing)?

    Both my standard Firefox icon and Waterfox icon have jump lists in the start menu and taskbar. Even the pinned Nightly icon in the taskbar shows this, but it doesn't show in the start menu. Just odd to see that the icon in the start menu doesn't offer this feature considering it does in the taskbar. I've reinstalled several times but it doesn't seem to change anything.

    There are hidden settings that control the display of jump lists, check these to make sure that they have been enabled.
    Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter, accept the warning message, and a list of preferences will be displayed.
    In the search box at the top type '''taskbar.lists''', it will then display a small number of preferences. Check the values of the following preferences (you can double-click on them to change the value)
    * '''browser.taskbar.lists.enabled''' - should be set to true to enable jump lists
    * '''browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled''' - set to true to have the frequent sites displayed
    * '''browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled''' - set to true to have the tasks displayed
    * '''browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled''' - set to true to have the recent sites displayed
    By default the first 3 settings are true, the last is false.

  • Single file custom logging for portal service in 7.31

    Hello Experts,
    I have a portal service.
    The service writes sensitive data to the DB and therefore I need tracing mechanism.
    Until now I've used a custom txt file but now I want to use the SAP J2EE logging infrastructure (for performance, identifying user sessions etc...)
    Since the severity of the messages will be set to 'info' I don't want to write the log entries to 'defaultTrace.trc', I want to write it to a custom file.
    I'm aware of 'ForceSingleTraceFile' parameter but where can I set the logging properties? (in older portals I could use logger.xml in my portal component project and set a custom log file but as far as I understand 'logger.xml' is not supported anymore and its parameters are ignored).
    Where can I find the documentation for setting logging properties for portal service in 7.31?
    J2EE/Portal version is 7.31 SP7.
    Regards,
    Omri

  • Help, need to change IP address on host database for Portal

    Hi folks,
    Rather urgent assistance (as usual) needed. I have an installation working correctly on a pair of Win2k machines, one as the 9i database, one as the 9iAS/Portal. The app server has 2 NIC cards, one with public IP address (which is ok), one on the LAN. I need to reconfigure the LAN addresses on both the machines. Initial Portal install done without DNS, i.e. actual server/host addresses entered in the configuration.
    I have tried changing all of the TNS/Listner settings and the NIC card IP addresses and restarting the machines. The likes of SQLPlus work ok, with the TNS connect name allowing over the LAN access into the database with the new LAN addresses. I cannot seem to get the 9iAS/Portal to find the repository with the new addresses.
    Can someone help please? I can't find the answer in any documentation or other postings.
    Thanks in advance

    There are other modes of operation for the plasst as well. I am listing them below but the formatting will make it difficult to read. If you like I can email it to you.

    Configuring Portal when the HTTP server host name of the Infrastructure is changed
    Run the following from the $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/opca dir
    ptlasst.bat -mode SSOPARTNERCONFIG -i typical -sdad portal -host myApache.domain.com -port 7777 -silent -verbose
    NOTE:
    (1) This command would create a new Portal partner application in the SSO to reflect the changes of the Infrastructure. Before running this command please ensure to configure the SSO with the correct hostname by running the ssocfg.bat script located in the Infrastructure install (<infra_home>\sso\bin).
    The value for -host parameter will be the IP address of the infrastructure server and -port will be the port where the infrastructure http server is running on.
    Configuring Portal when the HTTP server host name of the Middle tier is changed
    ptlasst.bat -mode MIDTIER -i typical -host myApache.domain.com -port 7777 -ldap_h myOID.domain.com -ldap_p 389 -ldap_w welcome -pwd secret123 -portal_only -oh /home/oracle -chost myHostname.domain.com -cport_i 8001 -cport_a 8000 -wc_i_pwd invalidator -mc false -mi true -silent -verbose
    NOTE :
    (1) The -host value should match the serverName value of the httpd.conf
    (2) The -chost should be updated with the correct webcache hostname. In a default iAS midtier install the -host is same as the -chost.
    The value for -host parameter will be the IP address of the midtier(portal) server and -port will be the port where the portal is running on.
    Parameter Description Default Value Mandatory
    -i install_type Installation Type
    In the typical mode, the OPCA would get the Infrastructure information like the Portal schema name, Portal schema password, connect string to the Portal repository, SSO Partner application schema and password, SSO Password store schema and password and connect string to the SSO repository from the Repository Access API's.
    In the custom mode, the OPCA would take whatever is passed as the command line arguments.
