Collecting Statistics on iView usage.

We are using WebTrends to track site statistics for all of our web sites, but the one piece of the puzzle we are missing is being able to track iView usage on our portals (EP6 SP2 and EP6 SP9).
WebTrends provides software that tracks statistics via a javascript include file, and we are trying to determine if there is one place we could put this javascript - either include it in another javascript file, or a page, that is used by all the iViews.
Is there such a place (thing, file, etc...)? Or is there some other solution that SAP provides that would help us track iView usage? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
I've used WebTrends some years ago, but solely the log file analysis.
For a certain iView, for sure you can include some JS; it's mainly the question if you have the source code under your control or if it's an iView delivered by SAP as portal standard iView (then you would have to decompile / add / compile / redeploy; but loosing everything when an update gets deployed).
There is also here in the download section the "Portal Activity Reporting" (Downloads -- Developer or Administrator Tool -- EP); some people regulary report problems with it, but maybe you could give it a try...
Hope it helps
Detlev

Help,why brconnect do not collect statistics for mseg table?

I found "MSEG" table`s statistics is too old.

Then i execute manually: brconnect -c -u system/system -f stats -t mseg -p 4
this command still do not collect for mseg.

Could you give some advices? thanks a lot.

Hello,
If you would like to force the creation of that stats for table MSEG you need to use the -f (force) switch.
If you leave out the -f switch the parameter from stats_change_threshold is taken like you said correctly:

You have tried to do this in your second example :
==> brconnect -c -u system/system -f stats -t mseg u2013f collect -p 4
Therefore you received:
BR0154E Unexpected option value 'u2013f' found at position 8
BR0154E Unexpected option value 'collect' found at position 9
This is the correct statement, however the hyphen in front of the f switch is not correct.
Try again with the following statement (-f in stead of u2013f) you will see that it will work:
==> brconnect -c -u system/system -f stats -t mseg -f collect -p 4
I hope this can help you.

Oracle 9.2.0.1 Expert cannot collect statistics ( WindowsXP)

I have Oracle 9.2.0.1 and OEM with Diag and Tuning Pack WindowsXP SP1
When I try to collect statistics using Oracle Xpert I get
XP-21161: Database connection attempt has failed
ORA-28009: connection to sys should be as sysdba or sysoper
Cause: Expert was unable to establish the requested
database connection.
Action: Check the accompanying Oracle Server message for
a full description of the connection problem.
It is possible that the service specification
used in the connection attempt is not correct.
Expert accepts 3 types of service information:
o A database alias as defined in the
TNSNAMES.ORA file
o A Net8 descriptor block
o A network port specification using:
<host-name>:<database-port>:<database-sid>
I've tried messing with the Objects in left pane, changing username/password, making sure it says connect as sysdba with no luck, creating new DB object, connecting to a diff DB even. I know its connecting to the right DB cause it shows up in SYS.AUD$ as a logon attempt, but why wont it connect as sysdba?
Thank you I am a forum noob, this is my virgin(ia) post.

I also got the same problem but where i need to set thi parameter 07_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY=true.i tried in iit.ora but it was giving erro.Can u suggest me abt thi pls

What should I collect statistics on?

Hi All,
I have a question, which can probably not have a short answer. But I want to derive a good strategy, which can be usefull in general. To start with, I do not think, for huge databases, we should just collect schema level stats.
What all are the elements, on which we should generally collect statistics ??
I can think of,
1) Tables (includes Materialized views)
2) Indexes
3) Indexed columns (for histograms)
In case of partitioned tables
1) Partitions (at the granularity of partition)
2) Sub-partition (at the granularity of partition)
3) Partition key columns (???)
Also, we can have global or local stats for partitioned tables.
Can there be a thumb rule in case of OLTP and DSS systems?
Am I asking a sensible question ?
Regards

Hi,
Regarding my question. I am not comfertable with the idea of letting Oracle gather stats in a huge database. For example, my application is a 3 Tera Byte Oracle database, with most of the data in one schema.
If I let Oracle do everything. Stats collection can be one of the big resource consuming jobs for us. So. if I want to manually do the stats collection, what objects should I concentrate on? Can there be a generic template plan for manual stats collection?
That is my question.
Please share your experiances.
Thanks in advance.

Upto Oracle 9i the rulebased optimizer was still used for Pool/Clustertables for reasons of plan stability (e.g. always take the index).
To ensure that this is the case, these tables/indexes mustn't have CBO statistics.
Therefore these tables are usually excluded from getting CBO statistics via an DBSTATC entry. You can modify this setting in transaction DB21.

Well, these indexes have been setup just in the database and not (how it is supposed to be) via the SE11. As the indexes have a naming-scheme, that is not supported by the ABAP Dictionary, the easiest way to get away from the warnings is to check which columns are covered by the indexes, drop the indexes on DB level and recreate them via SE11.

How to collect STATISTICS for my jsp pages

Hola gurus.
I'd like to collect statistics for my website, for example on my main page and certain other pages. Ideally I'd like to code it myself rather than using an external tool.
Has anybody done this, or can u recommend an approach ?
Here's my thoughts so far:
1. Since I dont want to slow down the presentation of my pages, the first idea is to position the code after the </HTML> tag.
<HTML>
</HTML>
<% MyGreatApp.addStatisticForPageVisit(pageName); %>
So, even if the action of updating the statistics takes 1 second, my web page won't be delayed by 1 second (right ? or should I multi-thread it ?)
2. I can keep a memory cache of pages viewed versus session id's, so that my statistics can reflect distinct user sessions (instead of "page visits" which can be misleading if a user clicks 50 times on the one page).
Maybe there is a neat java caching class that I can use.
3. I can then "save" my cache of statistics to the db periodically (say, every 5 minutes) to reduce db load. (?) I'm using mysql for my app already.
Any help / guidance greatly appreciated !
Thanks for the help java community you r great.

Sure, we do it. Every time the user requests one of a certain set of pages, we write a record to a table in a database. That's all. No mucking about with threads or caches or anything like that. If you have a database setup where it takes 1 second to write a record, you need to get that fixed right away.
As for session ID versus user ID, it depends on what you need. We just log the user ID so we can see who is using what applications, but your requirements may differ. There's nothing preventing you from logging both. Also, I do not know whether session ID's are unique over a long period of time, but logging the date and time of access should help you to deal with that problem if it exists. Basically, don't put too much logic into your logging code, just throw records out at the database. Any filtering or selection should be done on the back-end system that analyzes the logs.

Report for collect statistics of scenarios in PI

Hi colleagues,
I would like to know if there is any specific report i can execute in my box (PI 7.1) in order to get statistics regarding:
Number of messages per scenario
Average message size per scenario
Ellapsed time
Etc
The aim is to prepare a document in which we can analyze how the system grows and which scenarios cause this growth, week after week.
I have gone over the processes EWA carries out and got nothing, couldnt execute the reports i found there.
I know I can get some of this info by means of Performance Monitoring, but i need to be able to collect all this data.
Is there a report i can use for this purpose?
Please, any help will be much appreciated.
Best regards,
David

Thanks all for your valuable input,
however that makes me realise there is no way to gather this info (scenario specific) without writing some code, am i correct?
Does anybody of you know how SAP manage the data they collect from PI through EWA tasks? Despite slight differences, this is what i want to get.
Any clue?
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards!
David

Collections, Keywords and iView Catalog Sets

I am currently using iView and have most of my metadata in "Catalog Sets" (iView does not support hierarchical keywords). I think I read elsewhere that people are moving their Catalog Sets to LR Collections but it seems to me that Keywords would be a better choice? I'd therefore like some general advice on when to use Collections and when to use Keywords?
Following on from that, if I have a photo selected in LR how do I find out which Collections that photo is in? I am sure I must be missing something obvious!
I also could not find a way of displaying keywords in the Grid view for each photo. Is this possible?
Many thanks!
Tom.

Tom
Keywords are generally public, Collections are private. The world and other programs understand keywords and can use them for searching, and you can use them for interchanging data between programs (eg copy iView sets to keywords, then they'll come over to LR where you can then put them into collections).
In LR some features are Collection-specific. Picks/Rejects for example, labels too.

Statistics for bookmark usage

Hi All -
When a user runs a report through bookmark, will that instance be logged into the BW Stat Tables? Most of our bookmarks force the users to enter variable values each time bookmark is called upon. So these executions are as good as executing the query. But the preliminary study shows that the bookmark executions are not being logged into RSDDSTAT tables. Is this true ? If YES, are there any other tables that give us details about the bookmark usage (like number of times the bookmark is executed, average execution time etc...). Any help is highly appreciated.

The statistics for this MP are not turned on hence they did not show up. But any query executions through bookmarks are showing up as navigations instead of executions.

Statistics on package usage?

Hi,
I've been using the same Arch installation for about 4 years now.
It had recently come to my attention that there might be a lot of packages that I've installed over the years, and rarely use now days.
Is there any way to get statistics on the package usage in my system?
Thanks a lot,
fiod

Pacgraph give you a graphical overview of all installed packages. You might want to check it out.
I'm sure there are other options as well, but I'm way too wasted to think clearly right now.

Garbage Collection and Constant CPU Usage

Hello,
We have a load balanced environment running ColdFusion 10 Enterprise with 5 instances currently running. Currently we only have one instance being actively used but have been encountering a problem within a time frame of 12 to 36 hours (calculated on the times we have had to restart CF to come back online) the garbage collection is running almost constantly and CPU holds at 50% until the server just becomes unresponsive until the CF instance is restarted.
I have been monitoring the server via VisualVM to watch the CPU and Heap usage since I have found that running the server monitoring systems build into CF 10 Enterprise accelerate the problem to cause a crash within 4 to 5 hours.
This issue has been occuring regardless if there is heavy load or not on the server. I have been seeing some odd behaviour when running CF Stat where I am seeing 4 Requests Queued and Running Requests never shows anything other than 0. I increased the Minimum Heap Size to 512 MB and Maximum Heap Size to 1024 MB and below is our JVM arguments
-server -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xbatch -Dcoldfusion.home={application.home} -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home} -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/lib -Dorg.apache.coyote.USE_CUSTOM_STATUS_MSG_IN_HEADER=true -Dcoldfusion.jsafe.defaultalgo=FIPS186Random -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8701 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
We are running on a Windows 2008 64 Bit and IIS 7.5 on both of the load balanced servers and have updated the server to ColdFusion 10 Update 2. I am aware of the issues that are being fixed in Update 3 that was removed last week by Adobe due to bugs introduced.
If anyone has any insight in how to fix this issue, I would be greatly appreciative. This is affecting a production server that did not show these problems when we put the servers under load when we did pre launch settings.

Further from your images - while it shows CF CPU at 50% the GC activity is 0%.
So could be your not garbage collecting more than necessary and something else CF wise is taking CPU time.
What would be interesting is the Jconsole Memory tab Details section. It shows the time spent in minor and major GC's. eg:

BW Statistics for aggregate usage

Hello experts,
can some one guide me on how the BW Statistics cube can be used to count
1> the "No. of times an aggregate was used by the
queries" .
2> The % of the query users who hit a particular
aggregate in a month
A query on the cube '0BWTC_C02' with
0TCTIFCUBE(InfoCube) in rows and
0TCTSTAUIK(Frequency ) in coulumns doesn't yield the correct result for my aggregate.
Is this the right way of getting the "No. of times an aggregate was used by the queries" or is there any other option.
I'm aware that i can indirectly get these details from RSDDSTAT, but not sure how to use BW Statistics cube for getting this information.
Please help
Best Regards,
Sanjay

I don't see where the aggregate cube name is even captured in this cube. Personally, I think the whole BW Statistics thing comes up a little short of what it needs to be.
RSDDSTAT is the only place I am aware of being able to get what you are looking for. Haven't tried it, but you should be able to setup an Infoset on it for Bex reporting, or just download the data to Excel or Access as you probably have been doing. Or create your own statistics ODS/Cube that does capture what you need.
Keep in mind, an InfoCube with multiple aggregates could have more than one aggregate used by a user query but only one aggregate will be captured in RSDDSTAT.
