Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce users on v7 who would like to disable collection of marketing statistics. PROBLEM ABSTRACT: It is not possible to disable the collection of marketing statistics on WebSphere Commerce BUSINESS IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
See the "Additional steps to apply Interim Fix JR40671" for the details on how to configure the components for which statistics should not be collected. If you do not want web activity statistics (persisted in DMEMSPOTSTATS and DMELESTATS), then set disableCollectingWebActivityStatistics to "true". If you do not want dialog activity statistics (persisted in DMELESTATS), then set disableCollectingDialogActivityStatistics to "true". If you do not want search rule statistics (persisted in DMEMSPOTSTATS and DMELESTATS), then set disableCollectingSearchActivityStatistics to "true". If you do not want experiment statistics (persisted in DMEXPSTATS), then set disableCollectingExperimentStatistics to "true". The APAR does not disable any of the functionality of these components of the marketing engine. It only disables the collecting and persisting of the related statistics. All evaluation of Triggers, Targets, Actions, Experiments, and Branches still occurs. Note that the SaveMarketingStatistics scheduled job should not be disabled. If it is disabled then the following functions will not work: - Setting the maximum number of customers who can participate in an experiment - The Best Sellers and Top Browsed web activity actions ------------------------------------------------------------- The latest available maintenance information can be obtained from the Recommended Fixes for WebSphere Commerce technote: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3046&uid=swg21261296
