Info on Usage tracking.

Hi,
I have to work on Usage Tracking, I dont have much idea how to go about it?
What does it exactly means?
If anybody has worked on it, Please let me know.

Apoorv

Hi.
It allows you to set up usage tracking tables in database and create usage reports to monitor queries.
You can use the existing RPD in ...\server\Sample\usagetracking and also you can set manually usage tracking reports in your catalog.
Oracle by example:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/usage_tracking/usage_tracking.htm

  • Problem while installing Usage Tracking in OBIEE 10g

    Hi all,
    I am installing usage tracking in OBIEE for that created a database called usertracking using the sample tables provided in OBIEE 10g. everything is fine, but while configuring the NQSConfig.INI (like, PHYSICAL_TABLE_NAME   = "usertracking"."dbo"."S_NQ_ACCT" ; where usertracking is the database ) file I am getting the error called : Error 1067 : The process terminated unexpectedly.
    Please help me by your precious suggestions.
    Thanking you,

    Hi,
    Just keep it only below
    PHYSICAL_TABLE_NAME = "usertracking"."dbo"."S_NQ_ACCT" ;
    for example oracle default usage tracking setting in NQSconfig.ini file
    PHYSICAL_TABLE_NAME = "OBI Usage Tracking"."Catalog"."dbo"."S_NQ_ACCT";
    CONNECTION_POOL = "OBI Usage Tracking"."Usage Tracking Writer Connection Pool" ;
    For more info refer :

  • Need to enable Usage Tracking With Shell Script

    Hi All
    I have patch 11.1.1.6.7 installed in system. I have Redhat linux 6 sytem
    Can we enable usage tracking with shell script ? if yes how ?
    Thanks
    Samit Baghla

    Hi Samit,
    No you can not as per my info because everything to be configured for the usage tracking is via repository and enterprise manager. You need to invoke it in em and rpd you need to do modelling. I still did not understand that why you want to create the shell script !!
    Thanks,
    Amol
    (Please mark this answer, if you found correct)

  • Oracle Usage Tracking dialog

    hi
    After installing JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0 (and other 11g versions before that) and starting JDeveloper for the first time, an "Oracle Usage Tracking" dialog is shown with the message
    "In order to continuously improve our products, Oracle is interested in learning about product usage. To that end, automated reports can occasionally be sent to Oracle describing the product features in use. No personally identifiable information will be sent and the report will not affect performance. You can review Oracle's privacy policy on our website. "
    and a checkbox "Allow automated usage reporting to Oracle".
    see the screenshot at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/img/2011/OracleUsageTracking111150.png
    - (q1) Where can details be found about this feature, like which information it sends exactly, or when?
    - (q2) Has Oracle published anything related to the results of this "Usage Tracking" feature?
    many thanks
    Jan Vervecken

    Hi Jan,
    I'm not aware of a public wiki page or anything like that which explains the data being gathered on this feature.
    What it does, is create an xml file after each close of the IDE. It records some of the API usage during a session (defined as start to close of the IDE).
    The file is saved to this location by default on a windows machine with an install with the "single user" option selected.
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.5.37.60.13\o.ide.usages-tracking
    You can see what this file gathers if you like, by setting some bogus proxy info in the Tools --> Preference in JDev to stop JDev from being able to connect to the tracking server. Then just doing some normal work and stopping JDeveloper. The file will stay there until it can connect again.
    Of course this will only happen if you have opt-in to the usage-reporting in the first place.
    The data that is gathered is used internally by the product management team to see which features are used more often in relation to each other, etc. It is not made available publicly.
    Here is a report that I just did on my own machine. This is the result of opening an extension.xml file and then opening a .java file.

  • I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab.  How do i get these things to show up on my program?

    I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab.  How do i get these things to show up on my program?

    In GarageBand 10.0.2 you can no longer add all kinds of effects freely; this GarageBand '11 feature has been discontinued. Pick one of the predefined patches that already has the effects you want.
    However, you can add effects from the predefined audio units.
    You'll see the predefined effects on the track, when you open the Smart Controls. To add audio units, click the button and enlarge the the smart controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.

  • USAGE TRACKING Error in Obiee 11.1.1.6.0

    Hi All,
    I have configured usage tracking in our Obiee 11.1.1.6.0 version properly using enterprise manager. And, I have also created a a subject area in the repository called "Usage Tracking" where I gave all the details of "DEV_BIPLATFORM" schema in the connection pool as well. Now when I go to analysis to build a report using same subject area, I can't see any results. I checked the SQL and its quering from the right table "S_NQ_ACCT" but just can't populate the usage information. Also I checked in the database. The table is empty there too!! But It works fine for Obiee 11.1.1.5.0 version.
    I referred following oracle link to configure usage tracking in Obiee 11.1.1.6.0.
    http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/bi/bi1116/ut/ut.html
    PLEASE HELP!!
    Thanks,
    BK.

    Hi,
    Thank You for your quick reply. The table permission was alright.
    Its very strange that, we configure usage tracking in obiee 11.1.1.6.0 using enterprise manager and that how all document says. And then it should automatically update the "NQSCONFIG.INI". But it was not updated there. So we need to change all configuration settings in both "Enterprise Manager" and also in the "NQSCONFIG.INI". Then it works fine!!
    Thanks,

  • OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6) usage tracking migration

    Hi Team,
    I am facing issue in setting up the usage tracking in 11g (11.1.1.6).
    All the tables and views are available in DEV_BIPLATFORM schema. Migration of the the RPD and the Catalog (available under 'sample' folder) is failing.
    Error: Wrong Password.
    I have used the default password of Usage Tracking rpd (Admin123 as well as Administrator) during migration. Even though the migration fails.
    Is there any bug associated with this as i have also tried to open the RPD with 10g (10.1.3.4) and also with 11g (11.1.1.6). In both case, they failed to open.
    Error in 10g:
    [nQSError: 36010] Server version 184 cannot read the newer version 266 of the repository.
    Error in 11g:
    [nQSError: 36015] Please run the upgrade utility obieerpdmigrateutil to upgrade the repository.

    This is a bug.
    Raised SR with Oracle to resolve it. Oracle has provided a new RPD.

  • Usage tracking problem : not started due to non-existent Usage Tracking tab

    Hello,
    I need some help after following the necessary steps to setup 'Usage Tracking'.
    My table S_NQ_ACCT stays empty.
    The structure in the rpd files looks like
    * OBI Usage Tracking
    Connection Pool
    Usage Tracking Writer Connection Pool
    Catalog
    dbo
    S_NQ_ACCT
    My nqsconfig has the following entries related to usage tracking
    # Usage Tracking Section
    # Collect usage statistics on each logical query submitted to the
    # server.
    [ USAGE_TRACKING ]
    ENABLE = YES;
    DIRECT_INSERT = YES;
    PHYSICAL_TABLE_NAME = "OBI Usage Tracking"."Catalog"."dbo"."S_NQ_ACCT";
    CONNECTION_POOL = "OBI Usage Tracking"."Usage Tracking Writer Connection Pool" ;
    BUFFER_SIZE = 10 MB ;
    BUFFER_TIME_LIMIT_SECONDS = 5 ;
    NUM_INSERT_THREADS = 5 ;
    MAX_INSERTS_PER_TRANSACTION = 1 ;
    When making queries on the Usage Tracking SA, I still receive the following error in the NQServer.log File
    +[59049] Usage Tracking not started due to non-existent Usage Tracking table "<Database>"."<Catalog>"."<Schema>"."<Table>".+
    What am I doing wrong??
    Txs for your quick help on this!
    Kr,
    A.

    Can you post your entire NQSConfig.INI file?
    According to the message guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12103_01/books/AnyMsg/AnyMsg_Messages.html#wp1007961) the error you're getting specifies the table that OBIEE is trying to use, so the fact that yours reports literally "<Database>"."<Catalog>"."<Schema>"."<Table>" makes me think maybe the wrong config is being picked up. Also your comment that using a file instead of DB doesn't work either.

  • Usage Tracking - Access problem when Authentication Mode = Windows

    Hi Everyone,
    I´m working on UPK Usage Tracking configuration, in order to provide the finished training material.
    1) In Server01 (on Window Server 2003) the UPK Usage Tracking is installed
    2) In Server02 (also on Windows Server 2003) the Usage Tracking database is installed
    3) By accessing the configuration file (http://Server01/ODSTrack/configuration/setup.aspx) on Server01,I setup the Authentication Mode = Forms
    Note: The rest of the configurations were done.
    4) Once the configuration from step 3 is done, I execute the traning material (on Server01) from another node of the windows network
    and as a result I´m able to perform it.
    5) I access the Statistc data on Server01 by accessing the file (http://Server01/ODSTrack/admin/default.aspx)and I´m also able to see the results.
    6) When I execute the step 3 but with Authentication Mode = Windows, and including the GROUP name (windows group specially created for this goal where my user is included),
    - I still have access to the training material (step 4)
    - I have NO aceess to the statistics data any more (step 5) and the following message is display
    "You do not have permission to access this page. Please contact your Usage Tracking Server Administrator to update your permissions. "
    I don´t know what else I can do, and I wonder if some other configurations need to be done at windows network and/or explorer lever or any other.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Best Regards//
    Rubén Zamudio

    Hi All,
    This problem was solved by reconfiguring Usage Tracking in the authentication method (was anonymous and the solution was Windows integrated).
    It is important to count on people from your organization working on Networks with some knowledge in IIS.
    Best Regards
    Ruben

  • Usage Tracking Catalog Problem

    I am trying to setup usage tracking in OBIEE running on Windows 2008. Every time I try to open the sample catalog I receive the following error: Error initializing/loading existing Catalog: D:\UsageStatistics\UsageTracking. I have tried the file from three different installs with the same error. I am using 7-Zip to unpack the zip file.
    Any ideas

    Sorry about that -- this is 11g. I haven't gotten far. I have been using blogs like: http://obieeelegant.blogspot.com/2011/08/obiee11g-setting-up-usage-tracking.html to guide me. While looking at the sample files provided I just wanted to take a look at the catalog provided in OBIEEHOME\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1\sample\usagetracking\usagetracking.zip. When I unzip and then try and open it in offline mode I am getting the error.

  • EPM workspace 11.1.2.(x) - usage tracking for Financial REports?

    hi all!
    have a simple question - is it now possible to enable usage tracking in FR objects in Workspace 11.1.2?
    could not enable any relevant MIME types, so I guess it is not possible, right?
    or can I enable FR MIME types somehow?

  • Cannot select Get Info for multiple tracks

    I  just updated to Lion 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6.1 and imported my Leopard iTunes Library. I can Get Info on individual tracks but when I shift select or command select multiple tracks the iTunes window turns gray and nothing can be selected. iTunes just freezes until I press the Escape key. So far, everything else works as expected - the only problem is selecting multiple tracks (which worked fine for me on previous OS and iTunes versions).
    I haven't found any reports of similar problems so maybe I'm doing it wrong.
    Any suggestions?

    I solved my own problem - the last time I used iTunes was on a two monitor system. I still have the second monitor connected but it was turned off and the iTunes Get Info window for MULTIPLE selected items was opening on the second monitor. When I did a Get Info on a single selection, the window appeared on the main monitor normally - behavior which never made me think that multiple items would show up in a different window on the turned off monitor.
