General Issues and Workarounds

This section describes general issues and workarounds. It includes the following topics:

Summary Metrics Data Not Aligned Correctly in Accessibility Mode

Included per bug 7824771.

When viewing Summary Metrics in a tabular form with Oracle WebCenter Interaction in accessibility mode, the data is not properly aligned with the columns.

Data Points Not Visible in Charts and Graphs

Included per bug 7825404.

When viewing Analytics graphs and charts with Oracle WebCenter Interaction in accessibility mode, the graphs and charts do not include ALT text, so the coordinates are not visible in charts and data points are not visible in graphs.

Text Does Not Get Displayed Properly at 200% Font Size

Included per bug 7827113.

When viewing metrics in the Analytics Console with Oracle WebCenter Interaction in accessibility mode, if the font size is increased to 200%, the text does not get displayed properly.

Text Descriptions Do Not Get Displayed for Data Points in Charts and Reports

Included per bug 7827177.

When viewing ­Analytics charts and reports with Oracle WebCenter Interaction in accessibility mode, the text description does not appear when a user places the cursor over the image.

Links in Embedded Help Do Not Work in Firefox

Included per bug 7827398.

When viewing the Analytics Console in Mozilla Firefox with Oracle WebCenter Interaction in accessibility mode, the links in the Help section are not clickable.

Cannot Add Filters to Unnamed Security Roles

Included per bug 11808987.

Within the Analytics Console, when adding a filter set to a security role, users cannot add filters to the filter set if the name of the role has not been set.

To avoid this issue, name the role before trying to create a filter set.

Previous Installation Location Not Populated When Upgrading on Linux

Included per bug 12387962.

While upgrading Oracle WebCenter Analytics on Linux, the installer fails to use the location from the previous install. You must enter the installation location.

Global Filter Options Do Not Work in Analytics Console

Included per bug 12355901.

The default filtering must be shown based on the Global Filter Set created in Analytics Administration. While viewing data in the Analytics Console, the global filtering options (from the Global Filter Set created in Analytics Administration) are not applied.

Traffic and Summary Data Not Displayed Correctly When Grouped by Week

Included per bug 11735951.

When viewing Traffic or Summary Metrics in the Analytics Console, the data is not displayed correctly when grouped by week. This issue occurs only when Oracle WebCenter Interaction and its back-end database are running with different locales.

Summary Reports Based on Date Range Produce a JavaScript Error

Included per bug 9490960.

Within the Analytics Console, when generating a Summary Metrics - Users report based on a date range, clicking the Calendar button produces a JavaScript error. This issue occurs primarily with languages that use a period (.) as the date separator.

Note:

The Summary Metrics - Users report has been deprecated and is disabled by default.

As a workaround, set the date manually in the text field.

Problem Entering Date Manually for Summary or Traffic Reports

Included per bug 8677047.

While generating a summary or traffic report, if a user enters the date manually and the date text box loses focus, the date decreases by one day.

As a workaround, enter the date through the date picker instead of entering it manually.

Reports Sorted Alphabetically Instead of by Count

Included per bug 7826419.

Within the Analytics console, while logged in as an Administrator, if the display option is set to Specify Folder and Sub Folders is selected, the reports are sorted alphabetically instead of by count.

Hibernate Does Not Cache Query Information on AIX

Included per bug 12412794.

There is an issue within Hibernate with its query cache which prevents it from caching query information. This issue occurs only in AIX.

As a workaround, set parameter hibernate.cache.use_query_cache to false in the hibernate.properties file under settings/config folder. This needs to be performed both in the ptcollector and ptanalytics folders.
