About the Report Generator

The Report Generator transforms the log files created by the Log Server into easy-to-read reports. These can be viewed in Oracle Endeca Workbench or elsewhere.

Report details

Reports help you make informed decisions about how your application is being used. For example, you can obtain information about searches that do not return desired results. By analyzing these searches, you can determine what aspects of your Oracle Endeca Commerce implementation may require changes.

Report generation has the following characteristics:

You can enable both daily and weekly reports.
If you schedule reports via Oracle Endeca Workbench, daily reports start at 12 am and finish at 11:59:59 pm. Weekly reports start at 12 am on the day that you specify and finish at 11:59:59 pm on the day that ends a week. For example, if you select Monday as the day to start your weekly report, your report includes logs from 12 am on Monday until 11:59:59 pm on the following Sunday.
By default, the Endeca software saves generated reports to the Workbench directory /workspace/reports/<application_name> on UNIX and \workspace\reports\<application_name> on Windows. It is possible to specify an alternate reports directory. You can also customize the contents of your reports.
