Runtime Settings

The Runtime Settings page lets Portal Administrators configure timeout periods, enable portlet view and response time data capture, and choose the format of exported reports.

Note: The timeout settings that you specify on this page are only for Oracle WebCenter Analytics reporting purposes; there is no relationship between these timeout settings and other portal timeout settings.

The following sections describe the runtime settings that you can configure.

Timeout Settings

Setting

Description

Visit Timeout (seconds)

Type the maximum number of seconds that a user must remain inactive during a portal visit in order for Oracle WebCenter Analytics to report subsequent activity as a new portal visit. The default is 120 seconds.

Active User Timeout (days)

Type the maximum number of days that a user must not log in to the portal in order for Oracle WebCenter Analytics to report the user as an inactive user. Oracle WebCenter Analytics reports this data on the Users console page. The default is 7 days.

The following factors also impact whether a user is considered to be active or inactive:

If you upgraded to Oracle WebCenter Analytics 10.3 from a previous version, the Active User Timeout default setting from the previous Analytics version remains. For example, if you upgraded from Analytics 2.1, the default Active User Timeout is 30 days, since that was the default in Analytics 2.1.
If you install the portal while Oracle WebCenter Analytics is running, Oracle WebCenter Analytics restarts the calculation of portal user activity after you have completed the installation. This may impact Oracle WebCenter Analytics user timeout reporting. For example, if you set the active user timeout to 7 days and the user goes on vacation and does not log in to the portal for eight days, Oracle WebCenter Analytics reports the user as an inactive user on Day 8. However, if you install Oracle WebCenter Interaction on Day 3 of the user's eight-day vacation, Oracle WebCenter Analytics calculates Day 3 as the first day in which the user is inactive. For this reason, the seven-day active user timeout period does not occur and Oracle WebCenter Analytics continues to report the user as an active user.

Note: The Summary Metrics - Users report has been deprecated and is disabled by default. You do not need to configure this setting unless you have enabled the Summary Metrics - Users report.

Portlet Views/Response Time

Selection	Description
Capture portlet views/response times	Select the check box to enable the collection of portlet view and response time data. Portlet view data is reported on the Portlet Views console page. Response time data is reported on the Portlet Response Time console page. By default, this box is cleared.

Portal Reports

The Summary Metrics - Users and Summary Metrics - Duration reports have been deprecated and are disabled by default. You can continue to use these reports in this release, but they will not be available in future releases.

To enable the Summary Metrics - Users report, select the Enable Summary Metrics - Users report check box. To disable the report, clear the check box.

To enable the Summary Metrics - Duration report, select the Enable Summary Metrics - Duration report check box. To disable the report, clear the check box.

Export Report

Selection

Description

Export Format

Select to export reports in one of the following formats:

Excel (10,000 row limit): Exporting to Excel is limited to 10,000 rows. If you choose this option, reports that contain more than 10,000 rows in Oracle WebCenter Analytics will contain only the first 10,000 rows when exported to Excel.
TSV: Tab Separated Values is a text-based file format in which exported columns are separated by tabs. TSV files are typically opened by Excel.

Note: Although TSV reports have no limitation on numbers of rows, exported reports in excess of 10,000 rows will likely take an extended period of time to generate.
