Usage Tracking OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0

Good afternoon
Hope you are all well.
Myself and our OBIEE team is having a problem with OBIEE Usage Tracking.
Everyday we could view our daily usage for our users (Query counts, row counts logged in users etc)
Since this morning (2013/04/03) our usage tracking report is displaying no data.
I am not sure but as far as i know the usage tracking looks at a certain table in the BI_PLATFORM schema and it seems to me that the table is not getting updated with data meaning inserting as we work on the system.
Have anyone encountered this problem before?
Regards
Rayno

We have looked at that table and the last record was inserted 27 March 2013.
Usage Tracking was only switched on the 27th of March, it ran fine for that day.
Since then no usage tracking was captured, although OBIEE has been used frequently.
The Config file looks fine, is there any service that needs to be running for usage tracking?
IS there a way to check if Usage tracking is running/listening?
What captures the usage and inserts it into the table?
The strange thing is everything was working one day, we made no changes and now it is not working.

OBIEE Usage Tracking not collecting all data!

Hi guys
Strange problem here. We have set up usage tracking (OBIEE 11.1.1.6) and it is running smoothly, except that we dont get all the data. I have adjusted the field "Query_Text" to contain 4000 bytes, and this also gave us an improvement - it collects more usage tracking. But we aren't getting all the usage stats...
Does anybody have a an idea as to what could be wrong here?
Best regards, Jacob

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,
BK.

Hi Experts,
How to fetch the physical query using usage tracking in OBIEE 11g, i hope in OBIEE 11g there is a feature to capture the physical query using S_NQ_DB_ACCT.
I have imported the table S_NQ_ACCT and S_NQ_DB_ACCT in to RPD.
Please let me know how to join these two tables(Using which Key).
Thanks.

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.

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 PM

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" ;

Error with OBIEE Usage Tracking

Hi,
I have set up Usage Tracking in Oracle BI Enterprise Edition with the Direct Insert Option. I have created the S_NQ_ACCT table in an Oracle schema that is referenced as a connection pool in the Oracle BI Repository physical layer. When I run my requests from Oracle BI Answers and check my server logs (NQServer.log), I get the following message:
[59048] Usage Tracking encountered an insert statement execution error. This error has occurred 9 times and resulted in the loss of 9 insert statements since this message was last logged.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks for the response.
You're right. The response seems to imply that the account does not have the authorization. However, the account I am using to access the database from OBIEE Repository owns the schema where the S_NQ_ACCT table is stored. So I am puzzled as to why this response is generated.

OBIEE usage tracking questions

Hi,
I am using OBIEE 11g and we enabled usage tracking.
Recently, i have observed that some inserts to S_NQ_ACCT table is failing due to "String literal too long" error.
We have configured VARCHAR(4000) for QUERY_TEXT column in physical layer which is causing issues since the executing query has more than 4k characters, I would like to configure in such a way that the insert should not fail and it should exceed with first 4k chars inserted.
The one way i can think of is, in physical layer importing as a view(with subtr() applied on query_text) in lieu of physical table.
Is there any other way i can achieve this?
Thanks,
Pandeeswaran

OBIEE Usage Tracking Table Is Not Populated

Hello everybody,
OBIEE Usage tracking table (s_nq_acct) is not populated correctly for last a few weeks. I have no experience on configuring / managing usage tracking jobs, so I do not know where to start to solve this problem. First of all, which log file should I go to find the problem? And also which parameters should I look? Can you help me please.
Regards,
Dilek

Check that the absolutely correct and precise connection pool information contained in your RPD matches what your entries in the MBeans which then get written to the NQSConfig.ini.
Check that your UT physical model in the RPD physical layer isn't and old (11.1.1.5) setup running on a 11.1.1.7 env where the column definitions don't match.
Several log files. NQServer.log and NQQuery.log to begin with.

OBIEE 11g - Usage Tracking Not Working

Dear All,
I have enabled the usage Tracking in OBIEE 11g by using Setting up Usage Tracking in Oracle BI 11g guide.
Still i am getting the following error
Usage Tracking not started due to non-existent Usage Tracking table "12-Usage Tracking"."Usage Tracking Schema"."S_NQ_ACCT".
In my RPD,
Database Name : "12-Usage Tracking"

This table reside under BIPLATFORM Schema in Oracle.
I have followed the steps mentioned in the Document, still unable to find why getting such error. Please point out if any mistake exists.
Please advice.

Usage tracking on OBIEE 10.1.3.3.1

Hi All,
We want to implement the usage tracking on the OBIEE version 10.1.3.3.1. But the default rpd provided by the Oracle from the link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/usage_tracking/files/SH_UsageTracking.zip
belongs to the OBIEE version 10.1.3.4.0 and higher, so when I try to open the usage tracking rpd in the OBIEE 10.1.3.3.1 the rpd does not open.
Has anyone encountered similar sort of problem? Any pointers to this would be highly helpful

Hi,
You can use the usagetracking RPD available from the below location,
C:\OracleBI\server\Sample\usagetracking

OBIEE 11G - Usage Tracking - Table S_NQ_DB_ACCT

Hi
I successfully set up usage tracking in Obiee 11 and the table S_NQ_ACCT gets a lot of new records. Basically it's working.
In the nqserver.log I get some errors concerning a new table S_NQ_DB_ACCT:
[nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 942, message: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
at OCI call OCIStmtExecute: INSERT INTO S_NQ_DB_ACCT (ID,LOGICAL_QUERY_ID,QUERY_TEXT,QUERY_BLOB,TIME_SEC,ROW_COUNT,START_TS,START_DT,START_HOUR_MIN,END_TS,END_DT,END_HOUR_MIN) VALUES (:1,:2,:3,:4,:5,:6,:7,:8,:9,:10,:11,:12).
This is an additional Usage Tracking Table which didn't exist in OBIEE 10G.
I configured the table as S_NQ_ACCT in the same place in the repositry/connection pool. Writing to this table should be possible.
Does anybody has an idea what could be wrong? Does another user fill data to this table than the user which fills data to S_NQ_ACCT?
Thank you

Hi
Thank you.
I use the table within the default RCU created schema. What I don't understand ist why the table S_NQ_ACCT gets a lot of records (because I set the loglevel) but S_NQ_DB_ACCT keeps empty with the error in the nqserver.log. I mean if one table works then the other should be working too? I checked also the permissions which are the same for both tables.
