If your WebCenter application intends to use any of the features or task flows provided by these services you must connect the application to an Analytics Collector. While you can register multiple Analytics Collector connections for a WebCenter application, only one Analytics Collector is used - the default or active connection. To start using a new configuration you must restart the managed server on which the WebCenter application is deployed.
