The ClickTracks Server (v5.6) also allows you to create a dataset directly from a hosted account. Like the JDC Dataset, this wizard will create a special configuration in which the properties will be read-only after the initial dataset creation. This feature is primarily intended for the ClickTracks Agency Program, (CAP) and is integrally linked with both the Agency program and the ClickTracks Hosted Service.
This wizard is available only from Menu | File | Hosted Dataset
Page 1 - Name The Dataset
Enter a descriptive name for the dataset.
Page 2 - Specify Data Location
Enter the local disk location where the dataset will be saved. This data location can be on the same computer that is running the ClickTracks server software, or on a network shared drive. Important: This is the file system location where ClickTracks server will save the configuration files and normalized logfiles that are read by the client machines. This location must be a network share that is readable from the client machines. The default location will almost certainly need to be changed.
Use the Browse button to navigate to long path locations.
Page 3 - Hosted account login
Enter the login information for the hosted account for which you want to create a dataset. You can click the Test Login button to confirm you have the right login, (although this isn't necessary).
Page 4 - Select the dataset to analyze
All the datasets under this hosted account will appear in a drop-down menu. Select the dataset you wish to process with the Pro Server. If there are multiple domains under this dataset, you can narrow it to a single domain.
Page 5 - Configure Schedule
In the drop-down menu under Schedule | Frequency, choose how often you want to update the log data. For low- to moderate-traffic websites, the interval should be longer than those sites that have a high volume of traffic. Keep in mind that when the service is actively running a retrieval session, your CPU load will increase, so schedule according to your own preferences. You can set the start date manually to delay when the software does its first retrieval. Normally you can leave the default start date (current day). Start time sets the time the software will begin the first session.
Set the polling frequency of the ClickTracks server to one of these values:
·
15 Minutes
·
30 Minutes
·
Hourly
·
12 Hours
·
Daily
·
Weekly
·
Monthly
Set the polling frequency cautiously to avoid excessive network traffic.
NOTE: All Hosted Dataset are Think Globally (analyze on server) by default and cannot be changed. Also, Cookie Tracking and URL Pruning are NOT available for Hosted Datasets.
After the New Hosted Dataset Wizard finishes, a domain and web server entry will be created automatically for you. The resulting server configuration is read-only. You will not be able to alter these settings.
Dataset Mirroring
If the hosted account was set to Analyzed within the Agency Program account setup, this dataset will automatically be configured to mirror data to the hosted service, where it can be downloaded by the OEM Viewer.
