Usage Tracking Capabilities
We want to use Usage Tracking but need to limit the topics each user sees. Can someone explain the relationship between the role and the person (using forms-based authentication)?
Will this relationship enable me to limit what a user sees when they log in to view content? Should we instead create a file structure in windows and use windows-based authentication to enable users to view only content that applies to them?
Also, if we utilize the multi-user developer libraries, are those migrated over to Usage tracking during the content loading process?
Hello,
THe roles in UPK Player do not offer security as they do not limit users from accessing content--they allow the user to filter content based on the available roles.
You could publish multiple Players with different role-based content and limit the Windows permissions to prevent unauthorized access as you've described.
The multi-user developer libraries are independent of the deployed content. Only the content you publish and copy to the appropriate location is available to the end user (via Usage Tracking.)
I hope this is helpful.
Best regards,
Marc

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,

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.

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,

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 ZamudioHi 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.

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 ideasSorry 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?

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? -

OBIEE 11g - Usage Tracking - All details are not captured
Hi
We have implemented USAGE TRACKING in our RPD on OBIEE 11.1.1.5. It is working fine, only in few cases it is failing... failing to update with appropriate information...
For the field SUCCESS_FLG the value is populated as 3 - which means "The query failed due to some other reason" as per documentation. When checked the logs, there is no much information in that to conclude what went wrong. Log level is set to 3.
My question is, What are the possible reasons to have this success flag as 3? To capture all the details in the table S_NQ_ACCT, what need to be done? Any settings change?
Please share your thoughts...
Thanks,Hi,
Good for you.
Maybe you can post the solution and how you solved your issue to help other users having the same problem and then close the thread (currently it's still This question is Not Answered.) -

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,
Jagadeesha
Edited by: Jagadeesh on Apr 15, 2012 9:55 PMHi,
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" ;
