How can see usage reports, for Insight analysis. # of Users, # of Runs, # of Distinct Users, etc per Insight report or dashboard?

Thanks Naresh,
I am using SQL Server.....is there any such doc available for SQL Server so that I can get more insight into it?
Thanks

SSRS Report Usage Tracking in SharePoint 2010

We have many SSRS reports and Excel files deployed in SharePoint 2010 library. We want to eliminate any unused reports or Excel files in the SharePoint library. Is there a way to track any report or Excel file not used by end user?
Please advise,
Brian.

BI publisher report : why "Database Usage Tracking Summary" repport is empty ?

Hi everyone,
I'me using BI publisher intergated to Grid Control12c (R3), trying to get "Database Usage Tracking Summary" report folowing Oracle documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/usage_reports.htm#EMADM13568)
And I have 2 problems :
1) FTPburst delivery is not working, sftp is configured but still have the folowing error
Echec de la distribution.
[INSTANCE_ID=gs00slli052.occ.lan.1424277393149] [OUTPUT_ID=1973]

2) Since FTPburst delivery is not working, i decide to try mail delivery. The delivery itself is working but the report is empty (see Sortie1.xls in attachements)
So i don't know why is it empty.
Can someone guide me ?

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,
BK.

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?
many thanks

We are on 11.1.1.3 and we have a scheduled task that runs everyday to track FR Usage. I am not super technical and I am not the developer of this script, but it basically grabs the log file (I believe it is either FRReportSvr or FRUserLogin) loads it into Oracle and parse it. Then we report the outcome on Oracle Application Express (APEX). It basically shows how many people ran which report, when, how many times, etc. We also do ranking of report usage based on periods, so you can track which reports are being used, which report usage has been declining over time, how the newly developed reports have been doing, etc. It is pretty useful.
Does it sound like something you would develop?

Mehmet

Do we have any option to track the number of downloaded reports from the OBIEE dashboard or Analysis by the user using usage tracking.

Do we have any option to track the number of downloaded reports from the OBIEE dashboard or Analysis by the user using usage tracking.

I'll ask the question of our onsite Microsoft consulting guys, but it's my understanding that as enterprise admins, we have no controls over it. This is an outcome of putting the end-users in charge of their own destiny.
We can revoke a user's entitlement to Office365ProPlus in the portal and via scripts, but AFAIK only the user controls the allocation of their entitlement.
Revoking an assignment/allocation, when logged in as the user, doesn't require access to the assigned/allocated computer, but if the information about the assigned/allocated computers in the portal is vague or ambiguous, it's easy to revoke the "wrong" one.
There's not much here in this forum about the hosted/cloudy aspects, since this forum is mainly about the client-side bits (the client applications, setup and configuration of those) - so in here, I usually refer people off to the O365 community for the
portal and hosted stuff.
(we have MS onsite at the moment for a big planning piece, around O365 and also Win8.1 and VDI. I'm not usually this lucky to have those guys on tap ;)

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.

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 not showing correct data.

We have configured usage tracking in our project.while creating a report with(Subject Area,Query,Request ) it shows the dashboard filter query of all subject area in a particular subject area.
Eg : If Subjuct area SA1 has a dashboard prompt query "@@@@' ,and Subjuct area SA2 has dashboard prompt query "$$$$$' ,both the querys are shown in Subjuct area SA3 in the usage tracking reports.

Hello,
We implemented usage tracking too
Make sure you are not running into the following BUG pre-10.1.3.4.1:
BUG 7233756 - USAGE TRACKING DOESN'T CAPTURE AD-HOC REPORTS CORRECTLY
We found this issue and verified it was resolved in 10.1.3.4.1.this problem is still there, and we are getting value of random subject are populated for drill down queries. is there any bug for this too?

Financial Reports User Tracking

Hi Guys
Can any one tell me how to track the user login, report modification, creation and deletion kind of activities in FR--System 9.X??
Appreciate your inputs..
Thanks
Jagan

Thanks for your response.
Can you explain how can we set up this user tracking for FR and WA reports. I think this usage tracking is only for IR reports.
Really appreciate if you can share your experiance on this...
Thanks

ORA-09100 specified length too long for its datatype with Usage Tracking.

Hello Everyone,
I'm getting an (ORA-09100 specified length too long for its datatype) (a sample error is provided below) when viewing the "Long-Running Queries" from the default Usage Tracking Dashboard. I've isolated the problem to the logical column "Logical SQL" corresponding to the physical column "QUERY_TEXT" in the table S_NQ_ACCT. Everything else is working correctly. The logical column "Logical SQL" is configured as a VARCHAR of length 1024 and the physical column "QUERY_TEXT" is configured as a VARCHAR2 of length 1024 bytes in an Oracle 11g database. Both are the default configurations and were not changed.
In the the table S_NQ_ACCT we do have record entries in the field "QUERY_TEXT" that are of length 1024 characters. I've tried various configuration such as increasing the the number of bytes or removing any special character but without any sucess. Currently, my only possible workaround is reducing the "Query_Text" data entries to roughly 700 characters. This makes the error go away. Additional point my character set to WE8ISO8859P15.
- Any suggestions?
- Has anyone else ever had this problem?
- Is this potentially an issue with the ODBC drive? If so, why would ODBC not truncate the field length?
- What is the maximum length supported by BI, ODBC?
Thanks in advance for everyones help.
Regards,
FBELL

I beleieve I have found the issue for at least one report.
We have views in our production environment that call materialized views on another database via db link. They are generated nightly to reduce load for day-old reporting purposes on the Production server.
I have found that the report in question uses a view with PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION. In the remote database, this is a VARCHAR2(1995 Bytes) column. However, when we create a view in our Production environment that simply calls this materialized view, it moves the length to VARCHAR2(4000).
The oddest thing is that the longest string stored in the MV for that column is 71 characters long.
I may be missing something here.... But the view that Discoverer created on the APPS side also has a column length for the PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION column of VARCHAR2(4000) and running the report manually returns results less than that - is this a possible bug?
