Portal Activity report through Visual Composer

Hi all,
We are implementing the activity report model in Visual Composer as described in the Wiki:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/vc/aportalactivityreportusingVisualComposer
We are able to find the required webservices and drag them onto the storyboard. But when we try to test the webservice Getcontentstat with correct input we receive an error:
Portal request failed. (Could not execute webservice, consult your administrator).
We guessed this was some sort of authentication error, so we defined a differerent user for the webservice in Visual Administrator and then we receive a different kind of error:
Portal request failed (Fault returned from server: )
Any suggestions are very welcome.
Best regards,
Jan Laros

Hi J. Laros,
I facing the same problem when i try execute this webservice from soapUi client.
What did you did for to solve this problem?
The message is:
The User Authentification is not correct to access to the Portal Service com.sap.portal.prt.soap.ActivityReportWS or the service was not found.
When i execute from VC, returns no messages.
thanks,
Douglas

Hi ,
I need to show Vendor ID in my Portal activity Report along with other details .This vendor ID I need to fetch From Portal Database.Is there any way to code in PAR/Webdynpro or use any standard Template which will allow me to fetch Vendor ID of the user who access that Portal Object.
Response required Urgently!!!!
Thankxs
Varsha

I understand that the PAR or portal activity reports have some limitations and hence as an alternative try using the google analytics which has some enhanced functionalities which could possibly satisfy your requirement....

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.

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

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

Portal Activity Report with Selection criteria

Hi All,
I have created an iview using 'Portal Activity Report' template, added the iview to page and page is added to the role which is created for this report. Also, users were assigned to the new role. When users go to portal and see this report, they are seeing the final output of this report along with the 'Download Report' option.
My requirement is to give selection screen option (Type of report and Reporting period) to users. So that users will change the selection criteria and run the report as per their need. Please advice me on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Swapna.

swapna,
you can do this by creating a webdynpro application for accessing the database tables, the list of data base tables is in this [help |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/48/6aa9429b930b31e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]document and use web dynpro application to connect to that tables.

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

I am using ORACLE.
Actually the iview is the standard par iview, so i have created it from the "iview from Par" and that too in my test server seperately. I have created a new folder and under it i have created this new iview from Par. I have taken the com.sap.km.activityreport.frontend. and under this the activity report component.
I have also restarted the Data collection service. Other than these I did not do any other configurations. Any thing else is required?
Thanks in advance,

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

How to display an USERID on "Portal Activity Report - Pages and iViews"

HI,All.
I have a question.
It is as follows.
A purpose：
iView of EP is used and called for contents of the WEB-AP server of various (Tomcat(Java)).
The acquisition of "EP login user ID" is difficult from the log of each WEB-AP server.
It wants to acquire information on "Which iView which EP login user how many times executed?" by using EP, and analysis/to use it.
A present specification：
"Only information on "Number of users using iView" can be acquired in this function
though "Page and iView of portal activity report" of EP was verified to achieve the above-mentioned purpose.
It is impossible to analyze it, that is, "Which user ID used iView?".
A question：
In "Page and iView of portal activity report"
How should I do to display "Which iView how many times did each EP login user execute?"?
Or, I want to know if there is a table with the informations.
Environment：
EP6.0　SP18
OS:WindowsServer2003 EE sp1 rc2
CPU:Xeon3.2GHz x2
MEMORY:4GB
HDD:36GB*2
Other:Clustering
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
You can try Setting the 'Monitor Users' property of the pages to 'Yes'. We did this for one of our portal but there seem to be a slight performance trade-off.
Please award point if helpful.

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?

Omri
