Tracking User Usage

eomei

Does anyone have a good way to track user usage? (i.e. a counter, or a view to show the time/date a user opened up a report)

Hi eomei,

Tracking user report usage is out of the box functionality for BIRT reports generated through Actuate iServer Express so it is possible. There are likely many ways to do the tracking. Since users are using your application, you can control what they click on and do some logging before you forward them to the report. You could also do this inside each report if you desire as well by using a Java Event Handler. In this case, pass in the username in a hidden param, grab the current time and write that to a database or log file when the report is initialized, or any other report event that makes sense.

@Virgil ,

Same question, can anyone please share some instructions/URL/guide through which a user can calculate/validate their current license count for any OpenText solution ?
