Can the Portal Activity Report show unique users per page?

Hello all
I guess this is a rather simple question, but can someone tell me if the portal activity report can show a count of unique users per page per week for instance?
Or will it just show which users have visited the page in a list without aggregating them to a number? And if the users are aggregated to a number, is it only uniwue users that are counted for the given period?
Regards,
Martin

How to view the Users in the Portal Activity Report

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to view the Report of users who have logged in a specific time. For Example I would like to view the users who have logged in between 9.00 am and 9.15 am. Is it possible to view mentioning the country name?
Please explain me in detail how to view the Report.
Thnx in Advance
cheers,
Murali

hi,
You can certainly do it for hourly basis but i am not sure whether it could be done quarter an hour basis. Also The portal nodes within a cluster can be in different time zones, yet the activity data from all nodes are aggregated together and reported together. To enable the reporting of hourly data from different time zones, portal activity reports display hourly data based on the GMT time zone.
Do see the documentation

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 query

Hello All,
The Portal Activity Report shows data under Authenticated and Anonymous Columns
Questions:
1. Portal is not configured for anonymous authentication. So from where does it collect data and show data under anonymous column?
2. How can I disable the anonymous part? And done so, will this have any affect on the way the Authenticated figures are collected?
Please share your experience on this.
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks,
PRanjan

Even if you don't think you have any anonymous access, there is a default user Guest who is part of the Anonymous Users group who seems to access the portal!
Not sure how to hide it. Sorry...

Guest users in Portal Activity Report

Hi All,
We have implemented Portal Activity Report in our portal. We are tracking only the pages and we have set the property Authentication Scheme to default for all the pages.
The reports are working fine except for the fact that the reports are showing up large number of anonymous users logging in as Guest for e.g. Guest 1, Guest 2, Guest 3 etc. Our landscape has no Anonymous users.
Can anyone tell me why the report is showing up large number of Guest users (Type - Anonymous Users) though we donu2019t have any anonymous Users?
How to get rid of these Anonymous Guest users in the Portal Activity Report?
Kindly help me to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Adren D'Souza

Hi Adren,
The AR shows what it gets.
The first posibility, is somewhere anonymous users do have access to content or some operations are being considered as anonymous.
I suggest to check all the properties which should disable the anonymous, whether there is any content which is exposed as anonymous:
1)Search the roles which are assigned to Guest user.
2)Make sure that the "Guest" user is disabled.
The second possibility u2013 there is an old data in DB tables.
What type of report are we discussing? Is this the "Details about the users who logged on" report?
If it is, check the WCR_* DB tables whether there any u2018au2019 type users.
If there is, I would recommend you to delete those entries ("WHERE USERTYPE = 'a'), it could be the old data, before you have applied the note.

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

Hi,
Check below link how to check about the users logged and visited content.

Portal activity reports "No content available for the specified period."

Hello experts,
I'm running NW04S PS18 (7.0.18.0.0), and I like to create a activity report iview. I've turned on the service in the service configuration and it's all running and enabled there. Then I created an iview from the portal activity report template. Type of report is page/iview activity and reporting period is most recent activity for 1 week. I add a couple of iviews. When I preview the iview I get the message 'No content available for the specified period'. When I add a role where the iviews are included the reports shows data. I try it with pages and worksets but the report is only working when I add roles. When I add roles, the hits will be shown add role level. When iview 'a' is added to 3 roles, the iview is displayed 3 times in the report and not 1 time. Why?
Is it not possible to add just iviews?
Greetings
Joeri

Hi,
First check the monitor properties of the page/iview is properly enabled or not.
then add the role(in which your iview/page is present) to the portla activity report iview.
Delete all other pages/iviews/worksets/role except your iview/page. this can be done easily.
now save and check the report iview.

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 Report is not getting updated properly

Hi,
I have created a test portal activity report with the Reporting type set as Page/iView activity. I have added five iViews in this including a yahoo search URL iView. The reporting period interval is set to Fixed Period with the date range that spans for around 10 days.
The issue is, even after hitting these iViews several times, I don't see the portal activity report getting updated. Only for the yahoo search, I can see no. of Users as 1 and no. of Hits as 4 as a previous day report (today being friday, I could see thursday's yahoo iView report).
Here are the pre-liminary settings that I've done:
1. All the iViews have the 'Monitor Hits' as 'true'.
2. The Activate Data Collection is set to 'true' in the 'DataCollectionHook' that is available under com.sap.portal.activitydatacollector Service
3. The properties viz., Activate Portal Activity Report, Gather iView statistics, Page statistics..etc are all set to 'true' in the ActivityReport Service
4. I could see that the last aggregation time (in GMT) keeps changing every one hour without any problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Yuvaraj SG

Hi Raghu,
I tried as per your suggestion. At first, I thought that it's working. But, the report came out only for one day (thursday's report) and there weren't any more reports after that. So, I don't think this approach is working in my case! Moreover, for me the requirement is that the iViews have to be in some other portal roles and the Activity Report iView will be in a different portal role.
So, I am currently checking the SAP Note 1084379 as Sandeep has quoted.
Thanks for your help!

Yuvaraj SG

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.

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

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 Report - WCR_USERPAGEUSAGE is empty

Hi all,
I want to create custom Portal Activity Reports.
I followed this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/48/6aa9429b930b31e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
The table WCR_USERPAGEUSAGE has no data.
The 'Data Collection Service' is started.
Portal version is: 7.00.17
'Monitor Hits' is set to 'true' on all iviews.
'Monitor Users' is set to 'true' on some pages.
p.s
'Activity Data Collector' is also started but as for as I know this
service creates activity files in the file system that has nothing to dowith the WCR tables.
How do I solve it?
Regards,
Omri
