How to do Usage Tracking in OBIEE

By

 


Database Setup




Use the preconfigured scripts that come with each server installation to quickly create the usage tracking table.

Common SQL scripts are located in the \OracleBI\server\Schema folder and are named as SAACT.xxx.sql


The option exists to not directly insert records into a database table and have the information collect in flat files on the Oracle BI Server. A „best practice‟ is to directly insert the records into the database.


A Usage Tracking „best practice‟ is to create the s_nq_acct table in its own schema in the underlying database. This will allow your DBA‟s to isolate the Oracle BI Server writing to the database.



Metadata Configuration

 Once the table has been imported and the second connection pool has been created, test to make sure each connection pool is functioning correctly.




A "best practice‟ is to create two connection pools when reporting against the usage tracking table. One connection for the server to insert data and another to report on the table.


File Configuration




Always make a backup copy of any file that you are planning on changing before you make the change.


Usage Tracking Exercise



Once the table has been imported and the second connection pool has been created, test to make sure each connection pool is functioning correctly.






1) Review the Usage Tracking database (Physical Layer) within the bicg repository.
2) Review the Usage Tracking Business Model and Presentation Layer.
3) Next, login to the web front end and review the Usage Tracking page on the
Answers for Power Users dashboard to get an idea on what data can be tracked.
