Marketing Events statistical counters
The Marketing Events statistics are tabulated by counters in a database. These counters are located in the WebSphere Commerce database on the production machine, but the data can be copied to a staging server.
Campaign and Product Advisor statistics are always collected on the production machine, but you can configure the location of the database used to display the statistics. If the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator is on a staging server that does not have Internet or Intranet access, and you want to see the statistics, you will have to copy the statistics from the production server to the staging server. In this case, configure the staging server as the display source for the statistics using the Configuration Manager.
There are five different counters, and each one can be turned on or off independently by enabling or disabling components in the Configuration Manager. The following counters are available:
- AccessLoggingListener
- Captures access control or security violations. Such violations include the use of incorrect login IDs, passwords, or attempts to access restricted resources.
- ProductAdvisorInvocationListener
- Captures statistics produced by all Product Advisor metaphors in your store.
- ProductComparisonInvocationListener
- Captures statistics produced by all Product Comparison metaphors in your store.
- ProductExplorerInvocationListener
- Captures statistics produced by all Product Explorer metaphors in your store.
- SalesAssistantInvocationListener
- Captures statistics produced by all Sales Assistance metaphors in your store.
- CampaignRecommendationListener
- Captures statistics produced by all marketing campaigns in your store.
When a WebSphere Commerce Accelerator user clicks on the Statistics button for a Web activity, the underlying framework connects to the appropriate database source, and displays the most current statistical information. When viewing statistics on the remote machine, you will be required to log in to the remote machine.
