URL parameter analysis is not being done in Web Trends

[Mulpuri]

I am using WEb Trends 7. Edited a profile to use url parameter analysis and re analyzed the profile. Still url parameter analysis is not being displayed under reports.

1. Entered required information under Web Analysis -> Report Configuration -> URL Parameters.

2. Clicked the 'edit profile' from Web Analysis -> Reports & Profiles

3. Selected the url parameter created from step 1 from 'Advanced' -> URL Parameter Analysis

4. Clicked Save

5. Re-analysed the profile

Still url paramteres analysis is not displayed under reports.

could anyone help me out in this issue?

Thank You in advance

Very clear description of what you did, great!

It's probable that the template you're using isn't defined to show parameter analyses. Edit the template (Report Design) and make sure the template's list of Content includes Parameter Analysis; if not, add it to the template.

Your parameter analysis probably did run, and is just waiting for you to change the template so it displays in the table of contents.

Thanks for your reply. I checked at Web Analysis -> Report Designer -> content tab. The content list has 'Parameter Analysis' too.

Following is the message displayed when I click on 'URL parameter analysis' for the selected profile.

"No data is available for this table."

Just let you know that I am new to Web Trends.

Okay then that means something went wrong with your parameter analysis and WT believes it did not see any log file lines that fit your criteria. I would guess you set up the parameter analysis incorrectly in some way.

The most common mistake in setting up parameter analysis is this: for page name, if you do not check "regular expression" then you have to include the whole path for the page (not the domain name part but the folder path), including the slash at the beginning. Example: file containing the parameter is www.yourdomain.com/productfamily/productgroup/productdetail.asp?color=purple. For this, the page has to be "/productfamily/productgroup/productdetail.asp" .

Alternatively you can just enter "productdetail.asp" or "ductdet" or "produ" or whatever you like and check the Regular Expression box, in which case anything containg that string will match. "produ" however will match lots more - anything in the /productfamily or /productgroup folders for example.

I use regular expressions all the time by preference, saves the trouble of figuring out the paths.

Mulpuri,

Is this WebTrends software or WebTrends OnDemand that you are using?
