Export complete "Most Popular Items" report

I need to take snapshots of the Most Popular Items (views) report for a pages library so we can analyze the data to get weekly/monthly/yearly visit trends/data for each page within the library. Our typical pages library (being used as KB's) contains 200+
pages (in one instance, over 1,000) so exporting & combining the data for each individual page every week is just not an option. What I'm looking for is a way to export the "Most Popular Items" (accessed via Library tab > Most Popular Items)
to an Excel spreadsheet without having to manually copy/paste/clean up each page of data. Has anyone found a way (programmatically or otherwise) to accomplish this?
Is it possible to modify the "topreport.aspx" page to include an 'Export to Excel' type function? Or at the least, is it possible to customize the layout of that page to be more Excel-friendly (for example: show all results on 1 page or make each
entry appear as a single row)? Is this data able to be captured through PerformancePoint?
Any help/guidance will be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!

Hi Kyle,
Per my understanding, you might want to export the Most Popular Items related data to an Excel report in a specific format.
As there is no OOTB feature can meet your requirement, custom code would be required.
In Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Analytics namespace, there is a method “UsageAnalytics.GetAnalyticsItemData”
which can help to “Retrieves aggregated usage data for a specified item for a specified event type”.
A demo about how to identify view count for each item in a Pages library for your reference:

Most Popular Items Report: items listed in report are not the document names or titles

I have a document library that's loaded with typical corporate ppt, word, and pdf files. When I run a Most Popular Items report on the library, the list of items displayed in the report are not the document file names or document titles.
Instead, the report is showing information that seems to pulled from within the content itself.
For example, there's a new corporate ppt template in the document library and the Most Popular Items report shows the sharepoint url for the ppt file as being one of the most popular items. Let's say that the file is named Standard_ppt_template.ppt.
The url for one of the most popular items reflects that in the URL. However, the item is listed in the Most Popular Item as "Company Confidential". The report seems to be pulling the words "Company Confidential" listed in the
footer of the ppt template and showing that as the most popular content item.
Is there a reason or setting why the Most Popular Items report is not returning a list of items based on either the file name or the document title?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the PPT files items in the “Most Popular Items” report display these items’ names seem to be pulled from the PPT files’ content.
Per my test, the Word, Excel, PDF, .txt, .png files items in the “Most Popular Items” report will display these items’ names based on the corresponding items’ title value if they have, or the corresponding file name if these items don’t have the title value.
However, it’s by design that the PPT files items in the “Most Popular Items” report will display these items’ names only based on the beginning of these PPT files’ content rather than these files’ names and the corresponding items’ title value.

Most Popular Items not working for document libraries

One of the new Library features is the "Most Popular Items" report. In the library tab you can click on the icon to in theory, see a list of the recent and total Views of an item:
This does work in our environment to record views for wiki or publishing page, but it is not recording views for documents regardless of their location:
I've had several people open and view the documents, and even had 1 person edit a couple of the documents. Even after waiting a couple of hours to make sure whatever job it is that updates the Views has run, we still aren't seeing any views.
Any ideas?
Nick Hurst

We finally got Office Web Apps installed and now the Most Popular is working. Of course that means only when the documents are viewed in the Office Web App are they recorded for the Most Popular report. We've done some testing and opening the
file directly in the desktop application, or even editing the file directly in the desktop application are never recorded. My one disclaimer with this is we are using Office 2010, I'm curious if Office 2013 perhaps records views and edits using the desktop
application?
Luckily the latest OWA patch now allows PDF's to open in the Word Office App as well, so those views are recorded. If you have any non office or non PDF in the library, views will not be recorded for these items unfortunately.
I can't believe how this isn't documented anywhere.

SharePoint 2013 Most Popular Items Requirements

Hi all,
I have a General question regarding Usage Data and "Most Popular Items" functionality.
Can anyone provide a list of requirements for this Feature?
Currently the Problem is following we have Setup an Environment with latest CU, configured Search application and Usage Data Collection.
And it seems to be working for page request (Pages library), also we get the popularity Trends Report for site collections, but if we try to get a Popularity Trends Report from a library or a most popular items Report from a library then it is empty.
I have seen some rumors that it only work when we have Office Web Apps installed.
Can anyone confirm that or Point me to an official documentation?
best regards

Most Popular Items are not populating on lists and libraries

When I click the Most Popular items icon, the reports always show zeros. I have been reading that installing OWA has resolved the problem but I need to know if it is REQUIRED to work properly. If anyone has any information on this, please let me know.
I have not been able to find solid proof it is a requirement.
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, I have met the same issue with you. The Most Popular Items wasn’t recording any views for documents in the document libraries.
Here is a blog said that only when the documents are viewed in the Office Web App are they recorded for the Most Popular report. But it's always good to test.

How to include "pages" and "documents" as different tabs in most popular item webpart from site collection ?

Hello,
I require to customize the most popular item web part that should show the "pages" and "documents" from entire site collection in different tabs in the same web part.
can anyone suggest me the approach on the same ?
Thanks and Regards,
Dipti Chhatrapati

Hi,
It would not be an easy job to customize an existing web part which with its own design.
As a suggestion, it would be more appropriate to create a custom new web part with the help of Search API in your scenario, there, we can create custom style more
freely than customizing on an existing web part.

Everytime I try to export my slideshow I get the "The operation can't be completed because the item can't be found." message. How do I fix?

Trying to export a pretty basic slideshow to our desktop/iTunes and I keep getting the "The operation can’t be completed because the item can’t be found." message when I try to export. What am I doing wrong?

What is your iPhoto version?
Your slideshow may contain a photo or a video where the original file cannot be found. Try to find the offending item.
You could duplicate the slideshow (select it in the source list, ctrl-click, and the select "Duplicate").
Then remove half of the photos from the copy and try to export this partial slideshow. if it works, you will know, the problematic photo or video is in the other half.
Keep duplicating the slideshow, removing photos from the copy and testing with smaller sets of photos, until you know exactly, which photo it is.
Then select this photo and use the command "File > Reveal Original" to see, if the original file is still there.
Check the revealed original, if Preview can display it. If the file is o.k., copy it and remport it. Add the new imported photo or video to your slideshow.
If the original file should really be missing, restore it from your backup.

Popularity Trends report always returns zero

Hello,
I have a SharePoint installed on “Windows server 2008 -R2”.
I have a SQL Data base installed on the same machine.
I create a new web application with port “2020”. Then I create w new site collection “Publishing”.
I activate the feature “Reporting” in the site collection level.
I Open central admin “Monitoring >> Configure usage and health data collection”. I checked “Enable usage data collection” Check box. And I Checked All “Events to Log” check boxes.
I have configures the following services applications :
-Business Connectivity Service
-Excel Services Application
-Search Service Application
-Security Token Service Application
-Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application
-WSS_UsageApplication.
I run the crawl search. And it is completed successfully.
The search service account is member of “WSS_WPG” group.
I have checked the following values from SharePoint PowerShell:
AppEventTypeId          : 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
EventTypeId                 : 1
EventName                   : Views
LifeTimeManagedPropertyName : ViewsLifeTime
RecentManagedPropertyName   : ViewsRecent
ApplicationName             :

Options                     : AllowAnonymousWrite
IsReadOnly                  : False
I open the “default.aspx” page on the portal (I have opened it more than 10 times in different browser window).
Next day I open “popularity Trends” report, I found that it returns zero.
I open the “Analytics Report” data base. Then I open “AnalyticsItemData” table. There are already items in the table.
So I need to know why the “popularity Trends” excel sheet report returns zeros all the time.
ASk

Hi,
According to your description, the popularity Trends report always returns no records.
Please check the status of the 3 timer jobs: Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Processing and Web Analytics
Trigger Workflows to see if they are configured to run at regular intervals.
Also you can take a look at the two links about the similar issue for more information:

Set the workflow about PPR process as completed status with a report.

Hi Gurus,
I need to complete a workflow and all regarding task from UWL.
To do this, I implemented 2 functions module: the first to execute the dialog step and the second to set the dialog step as completed status.
When I run the report the both function module doesn't work. Sy-subrc return me different result as 0.
If I execute the SWIA T-code, I see all the task and there I execute the "dialog step" WORK ITEM to set it from ready status to started status and after I use "complete manualy" for the same task then the workflow created a new "dialog step" WORK ITEM I do the same with it and the workflow is completed.
So I would like to do the same in a report with SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_STATUS and SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE functon module ... please see my code below:
loop at lit_wi_stat where wi_type = 'W' and wi_stat = 'READY'.
*to set dialog step WORK ITEM as started status.
      call function 'SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_STATUS'
        exporting
          workitem_id          = lit_wi_stat-wi_id
          status               = 'STARTED'
          user                 = sy-uname
          language             = sy-langu
          do_commit            = 'X'
        importing
          new_status           = lit_wi_status
          return_code          = lv_subrc
      TABLES
        MESSAGE_LINES        =
        MESSAGE_STRUCT       =
*to set dialog step WORK ITEM as completed status
      call function 'SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE'
        exporting
          workitem_id          = lit_wi_stat-wi_id
          language             = sy-langu
          user                 = sy-uname
          decision_key         = '0001'
          do_commit            = 'X'
      IMPORTING
        RETURN_CODE          =
        NEW_STATUS           =
      TABLES
        MESSAGE_LINES        =
        MESSAGE_STRUCT       =
    endloop.
But it doesn't work correctly.
Maybe you have a better idea to reproduce the complete process in a report.
Thanks in advance for your reply..
Best regards.
Julien.

Hi Chandni
I would presume that you are calling some activity step to perform some operation ...when this fails, you are passing some flag to the workflow to send the email and the "planned" error!
It's pretty simple then:
1) Analyze the flag using a condition step
2) Use mail step to send the email
3) Call a custom method to raise a workflow exception - workflow will go in error.
More on Workflow Exceptions:
BO Based Exception:

Or you can also trigger Class based Exceptions if you are using ABAP OO for workflow (custom functionality via Class using IF_WORKFLOW Interface). Just make sure you make your Custom Exception Class as a child of CX_BO_TEMPORARY or CX_BO_APPLICATION

Operation can't be completed because an item of same name already exists - Mavericks

I am trying to copy a large file folder (of a large iTunes library of music files) from a WD Live NAS drive to a new AirPlay Time Capsule via Finder on my Retina MBP. Every time I try it, I get the same error "operation can't be completed because an item of the same name already exists."
I have tried a number of the following solutions:
1. I cleared my cache out as in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2231287?start=120&tstart=0
2. I tried using the Terminal app, as in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21786245#21786245
3. I tried closing both Finder windows once I started the copy operation, as in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2231287?start=105&tstart=0
4. I tried deleting/renaming all files that contained a ~ as in a thread I can't find right now.
All of these things are not working. I was able to copy several other large file folders (mostly of videos) without a hitch. I can't figure it out. Can anyone assist?
Many thanks...

Yes, I had to format the 1TB to FAT before I use it.
whoa there. why did you format the drive FAT? that's an obsolete windows drive format and OS X is known to have various issues with it. this may easily account for your problems. strongly suggest you reformat the drive mac os extended.
"have you tried using the restore option within Disk Utility to copy the data back instead of doing it manually?"
There's nothing on the 1TB to restore because I sent it in for warranty exchange. So its brand new, nothing in it.
he was suggesting that you use the restore tab in disk utility to copy the 640GB drive to the new 1TB one. that's what I suggested too but I mentioned using superduper or CCCloner.
but you really should reformat the drive first. the only reason to use FAT is if you want to use the drive from both mac and windows. but then you'll likely have to live with the quirks of FAT and OS X.

The following error comes up when I try to install the updated Firefox:
"The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again."
When I follow the instructions in the error message, it shows that my user name has read and write access. There are a couple other items that are read only. I tried to change this to read and write, but the Sharing and Permissions options are greyed out and will not let me change them. What is the work around for this? I would really like to install the new firefox.
Thanks.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default('''This will NOT delete profile info such as bookmarks and history'''):
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Can't move files - The operation can't be completed because the item is in use.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to move some files off an external hard drive to my macbook pro. These are mostly video files.
However, there's a handful of files which are causing the following error:
"The operation can’t be completed because the item “XXX” is in use."
I've no idea what's wrong but would appriaicte some help. All the previous threads I can find with the same error are related to moving items to the trash and I actually followed some of the advice (shutting down etc) but it still didn't help.
Thanks anyone and everyone for the assistance.

I was investigating this same problem on our iMac running OS 10.10. When I checked Activity Monitor for the DiskUnmountWatcher process, I noticed that with two users logged in simultaneously, there were two instances of most of the system processes, including that one. If I logged out of the other user account, and consequently only had one instance of the DiskUnmountWatcher process running, I was able to copy multiple files onto the network drive with no problem.
If I were to speculate, I'd probably guess that DiskUnmountWatcher is adding some metadata to new files when it detects them being added to a mounted drive. If there are two instances of the process running, they both try to modify the file's metadata simultaneously and generate errors.
TL;DR: If you encounter this problem, try logging out all users other than the one trying to move files.

Trying to upgrade to FireFox 4 and getting this error: The operation can't be completed because the item "libsoftokn3.dylib" is in use.

I am using a new MacBook Pro. I click on the "Download FireFox 4.0" button. The file(s) download and the dialog appears to drag FireFox icon into the Applications folder.
I get a dialog that says "There is a previous version.. Ok to replace?" I click "Replace".
Then I get a Copy dialog that says: "The operation can’t be completed because the item “libsoftokn3.dylib” is in use."
The software is not updated and I am still on FireFox 3. I tried rebooting and doing it again - I get the same results. I also did a web search and was not able to find a solution to this error.

I had success by:
1- Quit Firefox
2- Go to the Applications folder and drag Firefox to the desktop
3- Install Firefox 5 (it installs successfully at this point)
4- Put old Firefox in the trash
5- Secure empty trash
It may be possible to just drag Firefox directly to the trash and use regular Empty Trash, but I did not try that. Some people on the net reported that they could not empty the trash after putting the old Firefox in the trash (got the same "libsoftokn3.dylib is in use" error), so I just tried Secure Empty Trash, which may be no different from a regular empty trash as far as this goes; not sure as I'm a bit new to the Mac.

How to use user exit to complete the PR item valuation price?

Hi Experts,
I am working on a user exit about Purchase requisition and the description is as following:
In standard SAP, the Purchase Requisition (PR) is an internal document to translate a pur-chasing requirement. Standard, at the moment of a PR, no supplier is known and therefore no purchase price is known.
In standard SAP, the purchase price and price conditions are introduced in the Purchase Or-der (PO); these fields are not available in the PR. Instead, the PR contains an estimated valuation price per item, this is the historic purchasing price (standard price or moving aver-age price).
For the GFP project, the purchase price needs to be introduced in the PR. This is due to the fact that budget reservations are made for PRu2019s. Therefore, each PR needs to have a correct purchasing value. As budget forecasting also takes into account the tax (VAT), the PR value needs to be VAT inclusive.
The goal of this development is to ensure that the user does not need to complete the PR item valuation price manually. Instead, this field should be filled with the item contract or info record price.
The purpose of this development is to extract the correct purchasing price from the agree-ment / info record when applicable. Thus:
u2022If the user does not assign a source to an item, do not overwrite the item valuation price
u2022If the user assigns a source to an item based on an agreement, use the agreement number and item to extract the purchasing item price
u2022If the user assigns a source to an item based on an info record, use the info record number and purchasing organisation to extract the purchasing item price
The enhancement trigger is the assignment of a source of supply by selecting a certain pur-chasing agreement (contract) or a certain info record.
can anyone help me on this? do you know how to know the time when the trigger of the source of supply by selecting a certain pur-chasing agreement (contract) or a certain info record happens? thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Dawson
