Error 404 when trying to open Analytics

Symptom

After installing Stambia Analytics 2.2 or higher on an application server running with Java 6, Stambia DI Analytics will not open: the web browser displays an error 404.

Solution

Analytics 2.2 and higher require Java 7 or higher. Java 6 is not longer supported starting from Analytics 2.2.

You can

• upgrade your server's Java version
• or install an autonomous JRE 7 for your application server (please consult your application server's documentation to know how)

Session timeout when accessing Analytics

Symptom

When accessing to Production Analytics, the application raises a "Session timeout" message.

This may occur immediately or after a delay.

Solution

Some Application Servers have no default "session timeout" value, this can produce immediate or too-short session timeouts.

The session timeout can be configured

- in the Application Server's settings (see your AS documentation)

- or in Production Analytics's settings, see this article.

Statistics view is empty

Symptom

When consulting sessions or session details, the Statistics view is empty.

The Variable view is not empty, only the Statistics view is.

When going to "Window / Parameters" and the "Statistics" tab, the list is empty.

Solution

This is an Analytics Installation issue, concerning new installations made with versions 2.0.9 to 2.1.1.

Prior versions which were upgraded to 2.0.9 / 2.1.1 are not concerned. New installations made with 2.1.2 or later are not concerned.

How to fix it:

• Solution 1:
  • get a "stambia.logs" file from another existing WebappHome directory
  • copy all lines starting with "<logs:statistic" and paste them into the erroneous WebappHome's "stambia.logs" file
• Solution 2:
  • Go to "Window / Parameters" and the "Statistics" tab
  • Add the following items to the list:
    • Name: WSDL_NB_ERROR, Label: WsdlError
    • Name: SQL_STAT_MERGE, Label: Merge
    • Name: OUT_NB_FILES, Label: OutFileCount
    • Name: SQL_STAT_UPDATE, Label: Update
    • Name: XML_NB_ELEMENTS,  Label: Element
    • Name: SQL_STAT_DELETE, Label: Delete
    • Name: SQL_NB_ROWS, Label: Rows
    • Name: XML_NB_ATTRIBUTES, Label: Attribute
    • Name: SQL_STAT_ERROR, Label: Reject
    • Name: WSDL_NB_DONE, Label: WsdlSuccess
    • Name: SQL_STAT_INSERT, Label: Insert
    • Name: OUT_FILE_SIZE, Label: OutFileSize

Solution

The main URL for accessing Analytics may be different, depending on the Java distributions and on the Application server distributions.

Here is the different URLs you may want to try:

• Webapp name without a trailing slash, for example: http://yourserver:8080/analytics
• Webapp name with a trailing slash, for example: http://yourserver:8080/analytics/
• Append the "stambia" url part, for example: http://yourserver:8080/analytics/stambia
