User friendly
Quick & Easy to Use Management Reports
Discover hands on reports you never had easy access to before – plus many others. No more fighting with the Portal Activity Report (PAR) or Activity Data Collector (ADC)! All your reports now deliver data to you in real time - no pre-processing of log files needed.
And why worry about server nodes or PCD IDs when you don't have to? Sit back and enjoy the user friendly interface of Click Stream's reporting. Sweetlets utilizes the latest Adobe Flex technology to serve you with beautiful and intuitive graphics, enhanced exporting functionality and extensive filtering capabilities.
Exporting Reports Made Easy
Say you need a spreadsheet of your results to show your boss - no problem! For added flexibility, just click the Export tab and transfer your new found data to Excel. You even have your choice of a coma, semi-colon, or tabulator table.
But perhaps it is an image you desire for your upcoming presentation to support your new found discovery? Try the Snapshot feature in the toolbar. This handy detail will grab a copy of your report in either JPEG or PNG format for easy cut and paste to your PowerPoint. Simple! Now you’ll make a far greater impact to your board members with a dynamic visual representation of your finding!
Turn your data into valuable information and that intelligence into educated action. Click Stream is any manager’s control panel to their SAP Portal. But this really is only the beginning.
Save Your Reports
With the extensive filtering available in Click Stream, a wide range of detailed criteria within reports is possible. Extracting these reports to view on a regular basis with the same specific date ranges, groups, roles, pages and any other attribute can be a tedious task.
Therefore, we added a nice little feature - the option to save your pre-configured reports for easy recall. Simply put together your predefined settings in a report, save, and then choose it from the dropdown menu whenever you need it.
Bad Decisions = Lost Productivity
Are you the hunter or the gatherer, the IT or the administrator? Either way, if your portal looks poor, you look bad. And of course, what you can't measure, you can't manage. It is no secret, bad decisions are based mainly on lack of information. That is, not having enough information to make good quality decisions. The Click Stream business package includes many ready to use, clearly understood statistical reports…for you or your administrators. Imagine how much easier it will be for you to support conclusions on your SAP Portal roadmap at the click of a button with nothing but the facts right in front of you.

Advanced Filtering
Precise filtering on roles/groups/pages, etc
Go ahead, pick a report, any report! Leveraging the UME (User Management Engine), Click Stream is limited only to the information you gather from your users. This key information can then be filtered to your liking in nearly every report. Really drill down to the details and get the results you need. Choose from a variety of filter criteria such as:
- Roles
- Groups
- Pages
Click Stream lets you combine the filter criteria above or use the wild-card option for filtering on specific content areas in your PCD. For example, how nice would it be to get the traffic (user, logins, pageviews) for the last month, but only for groups "HR" and "Finance" which had the role "Employee"? Nice...but we didn't stop there!
Filtering on LDAP attributes
What if the example above was not enough for your boss? He wants to track each employee by country, company and department. Since Click Stream lives solely inside the SAP Portal and leverages the UME - it knows everything there is to know about your user. This is only one huge advantage to having an SAP Portal specific app and not just a broad website or a web analytical tool like Google Analytics.
The SAP standard PAR (Portal Activity Report) does not use the UME (User Management Engine) to retrieve country information from LDAP. Instead, the PAR attempts to map countries based on IP addresses. This may work on a website as tracking IP addresses is potentially your best option. But within an intranet environment (such as the SAP Portal) where who knows how many users share the same local and/or internal IP addresses, the accuracy of user information can be highly distorted. Leveraging the UME from within the SAP Portal enables Click Stream absolute accuracy on portal statistics.
Simply map desired information from your corporate LDAP to your SAP Portal with Click Stream. Then filter any report by combining information from your users such as company, department, country, etc., together with role or group information on any page. All LDAP attributes can now be used for recording and filtering.
We also offer multiple reports and filtering options:
- Country, City, Department, US State
- Server node, Resolution, Operating System, Browser, Language
- 1st and 2nd level navigation (a great bird's eye view)
- And more...
Click Stream
Ever wonder how many unique visitors you have in a specific time frame?
One click access to the Traffic report and you are in! Next, filter down your user criteria by group, role, or date range – then just click ok. Presto! Up comes unique visitors within your chosen time frame.
Now compare your unique visitors to logins and pageviews. How about a different time frame? The added flexibility of the date slider allows you to really hone in on specific dates or times within your SAP Portal. Really get to the core of your traffic at the click and slide of your mouse.
How about your portal traffic on a 24 hour day? When are your peak times? Or do you know how much traffic your portal has on a weekend? Use this information to find best time slots for maintenance windows without disturbing your end-users.
And if you like, bring organization to even the largest database by selecting a line or table chart, whichever best displays your report. But don’t forget to make use of the powerful export options like transferring your reports to Excel or even saving the image in JPEG or PNG for presentations.
Filter on specific group/role or user attribute in the drop down menu.
Performance
Tested, Proven and 100% SAP Certified
Feel the comfort of knowing the Click Stream analytical application has a proven track record and is 100% SAP Certified. Over 3 years of strict testing, tweaking and constant development in SAP Portals all over the world, in some of the largest installments in the SAP community.
And our team of developers continuously fine-tune, test and tweak Click Stream to increase performance. For example, in the last release we refined the recorder iView within the framework page and separated the JavaScript code into a dedicated cacheable file. These attention to details take data recording to the next level.
And to keep on top of the latest releases, Click Stream 2.3 now supports the AJAX framework, making it fully compatible with SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.3 & 7.0 EHP 2.
But I have 100,000 users...and more?
Sweetlets developers have tested Click Stream in SAP Portals at the 100,000 plus user range with great results. We even tested a portal with 160,000 users strong and 4,000 concurrent! (4,000 users hitting the portal at the exact same time) The final outcome... minimal footprint and most importantly, no impact on end user experience. Expand the "160,000 user experience" box to the right to get more details.

160,000 user experience
We designed Click Stream to run in SAP Portals with a very high number of users. Our recording has also been designed to deal with many users logging into the portal at the same time by queuing information to store.
In the 160,000 user portal, load tests with up to 4,000 concurrent users and more than 20 server nodes proved successful! The impact on their portal server CPU with our Click Stream recorder iView resulted in only about a 2%-3% increase. Better yet, the end-users don't recognize any difference! In production everything runs smooth and we have a happy client!
Database outages?
Many of our clients are using a database server for Click Stream without fail-over, since it is not mission critical and cost saving.
What if your database for Click Stream is not available? What happens with your SAP Portal? Our recorder is intelligent enough to recognize this and handle the scenario so your portal will not be harmed. In the end you won't notice any negative impact on your portal server and your end-users won't recognize any change. This has been intensively tested together with clients in real-life scenarios.
Safe, secure data storage
Store you company’s valuable information on your own server, not the World Wide Web.
Who is in control of your company data? When it comes to securing your important company data, isn’t it best to keep it in house and on your own server? Does it make sense to store such sensitive employee data out there on the WWW? Unlike others, Click Stream gives you complete access to your own database. There is no need to rely on "their" servers sitting in another part of the world to get the reports you need.
Take control!
Do yourself a favor, take a look at the software agreement of those other analytics solutions – they can shut you down whenever they want or restructure on their own terms. This could leave your company high and dry. Don’t be left wondering who is looking at your company data. Take control!
