Using the Analytics Query API

This section introduces you to the Analytics Query API through a series of example queries.

To use the SOAP messages in this tutorial, you must have the following software installed:
  • Oracle WebCenter Analytics 10.3 or AquaLogic Analytics 2.5
  • Oracle WebCenter Interaction 10.3 or AquaLogic Interaction 6.5
In addition, the (optional) Java example code requires one of the following environments:
  • Java SE 5 and Glassfish 9.0
  • Java EE 5

This tutorial describes how to query data using SOAP and the Analytics Query API. In addition to the SOAP messages, a Java example application is provided to send and receive SOAP messages. The Java example is not necessary to understand the tutorial. A developer who is proficient in working with SOAP on any development platform can easily adapt this tutorial for that development platform.

The following steps are covered in this tutorial:

  1. Create an application to send, receive, and process SOAP messages from the Query API service. For details, see Communicating With the Query API Service.
  2. Create SOAP queries to view which portlets are being used on your portal. For details, see Viewing Portlet Usage.
  3. Use filters to refine your queries. For details, see Filtering Portlet Usage by Community.
  4. View events based on periods of time. For details, see Tracking Portlet Usage.
  5. To use the Oracle WebCenter Analytics Query API, you must manually enable the Query API and configure the SOAP connection to the API service. For details, see Configuring the Oracle WebCenter Analytics Query API and Analytics Query API Configuration Settings.
