13.1.2 WebCenter Analytics Task Flows

Table 13–1 lists the Analytics task flows available with Oracle WebCenter. For detailed information about these task flows and how to use them in WebCenter applications, see Understanding Analytics Task Flows in WebCenter Spaces in Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle WebCenter. Table 13–1 WebCenter Analytics Task Flows WebCenter Analytics Task Flows Description WebCenter Traffic A summarized view for common events within the portal. Page Traffic Displays the number of page visits and the number of unique users that visited any page within the portal. Login Metrics Reports portal logins. Portlet Traffic Displays usage data for a portlet. Portlet Response Time Displays performance data for a portlet. Portlet Instance Traffic Displays usage data for a portlet instance. When the same portlet displays on several different pages, each placement is considered as a portlet instance. Portlet Instance Response Time Displays performance data for a portlet instance.

13.3 Analytics Prerequisites

This section includes the following subsections: ■ Section 13.3.1, Analytics - Installation ■ Section 13.3.2, Analytics - Configuration ■ Section 13.3.3, Analytics - Security Considerations ■ Section 13.3.4, Analytics - Limitations

13.3.1 Analytics - Installation

The Analytics Collector is an optional installation option for Oracle WebCenter. To install this product, select Oracle WebCenter Analytics Collector in the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard. For detailed installation instructions, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebCenter. The Analytics schema ACTIVITIES and the WebCenter schema can be installed on the same database or on separate databases.

13.3.2 Analytics - Configuration

The Analytics Collector is configured to receive events out-of-the-box, using installation defaults. If the default values are not suitable for your installation or you have a cluster, you may configure different values using WLST or MBeans Browser. For more details, Section 13.4, Configuring Analytics Collector Settings . Out-of-the-box, WebCenter Spaces is not configured to send events to the Analytics Collector. If you want to collect usage and performance metrics for WebCenter Spaces Table 13–2 Configuring the Analytics Service for WebCenter Spaces Actor Task Sub-task Administrator 1. Install WebCenter Spaces and the back-end components for the Analytics service Administrator

2. Optional Configure the Analytics

Collector using either of the following tools: ■ System MBean Browser ■ WLST Administrator 3. Configure a connection between WebCenter Spaces and the Analytics Collector using either of the following tools: ■ Fusion Middleware Control ■ WLST WebCenter Spaces Administrator 4. Test that analytics data is available in WebCenter Spaces 4.a Log in to WebCenter Spaces with administrator privileges 4.b Open the main Analytics business role page to see live data: http:host:portwebc enterspacespageAna lytics 13-6 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter or any WebCenter Portal application you must register the Analytics Collector and enable event collection. For more details, Section 13.5, Registering an Analytics Collector for Your Application . Once connected, analytics data is collected and displays in your application through analytics task flows without further configuration.

13.3.3 Analytics - Security Considerations

In WebCenter Spaces, Resource Catalogs only display Analytics task flows to users with appropriate permissions: ■ Administrators - Users with the Administrator role have access to all Analytics task flows ■ Moderators - Within a Space, members with the Moderator role have access to Analytics task flows that display usage data for that Space only Analytics usage data is valuable for portal analysis but might be regarded as private or sensitive to portal users. To protect security and privacy interests associated with usage metrics WebCenter Spaces administrators and individual Space moderators must manage page security such that only appropriate, specified users have access to pages that expose analytics data. See also, Securing Pages and Components in Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle WebCenter. Similarly, developers building WebCenter Portal applications must set up a suitable security model for exposing Analytics task flows and data. For details, see Setting up Security for Analytics Task Flows and Usage Data in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle WebCenter.

13.3.4 Analytics - Limitations

Analytics task flows do not display custom event information.

13.4 Configuring Analytics Collector Settings

During installation, the Analytics Collector is configured to receive events using the following default values: ■ Collector Host Name - localhost ■ Default Port - 31314 ■ Maximum Port Number - 31314 ■ Broadcast Type - Multicast ■ Clustering - Disabled – Cluster Name - null – Cluster Broadcast Frequency - 10 seconds If these default values are not suitable for your installation or you have a cluster, you can configure suitable values using WLST or the MBeans Browser in Fusion Middleware Control: ■ Setting Analytics Collector Properties Using WLST ■ Setting Analytics Collector Properties Using Fusion Middleware Control These Analytics Collector configuration settings are stored in the Analytics database ACTIVITIES.
