WebCenter Analytics Components What You Should Know About Oracle WebCenter Analytics

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.

For information on how to run WLST commands, see Section 1.13.3.1, Running Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool WLST Commands.

13.4.2 Setting Analytics Collector Properties Using Fusion Middleware Control

Use the Systems MBeans Browser in Fusion Middleware Control to set event collection properties for the Analytics Collector: To configure the Analytics Collector deployed on the WC_Utilities managed server: 1. Log in to Fusion Middleware Control and navigate to the home page for WebCenter Spaces or WebCenter Portal application. For more information, see: ■ Section 6.2, Navigating to the Home Page for WebCenter Spaces ■ Section 6.3, Navigating to the Home Page for WebCenter Portal Applications 2. Open the System MBean Browser: ■ For WebCenter Spaces - From the WebCenter menu, choose System MBean Browser . ■ For WebCenter Portal applications - From the Application Deployment menu, choose System MBean Browser. 3. Navigate to: Application Defined MBeans oracle.webcenter.analytics Server: WC_Utilities Application: analytics-collector CollectorConfiguration Configuration Alternatively, search for CollectorConfiguration or filter the System MBean Browser tree using the MBean pattern: oracle.webcenter.analytics: Note: To start using the property values you must restart the managed server on which the Analytics Collector application is deployed WC_Utilities. For more information, see the section, Starting and Stopping WebLogic Managed Servers Using the Command Line in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide.
