I would like to use the FTP Data Source block to import my reports to Omniscope, but what to do when the target data file name is post-pended every day with a changing date?

For example:
repot_14586_02262014
repot_14586_02272014
repot_14586_02282014

How can I parameterise the source connection block so that I import only the newest version of the report into Omniscope automatically?

I have used the DateDiff function to calculate the difference between Start and End but it produces a decimal number. I have tried many different formulae and reformatting measures to compare the Time Period with my calcualtion but they all fail.

Either Omniscope cannot parse the decimal or it doesn't recognise the time to convert it to text. I can easily paste the Time Period into Excel and reformat as a general number and it produces a decimal that compares favourably with my DateDiff but I need to do this in Omniscope.]]>
Connectors: Google logins "Invalid grant" error http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/2661/connectors-google-logins-invalid-grant-error Tue, 29 Jul 2014 09:18:33 -0400 chris 2661@/discussions
"error" : "invalid_grant"

This error effects the following connectors:

  • Google Analytics
  • Google Drive
  • Google Spreadsheets
  • Google BigQuery
  • DoubleClick

This error is generated by the Google server and not Omniscope.

The following link outlines why this error occurs:

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/mgmtAuthorization?hl=fi#helpme

As described in the link above, the cause of this error is either due to your server clock or the refresh limit being reached. In most cases it is because the refresh limit is being reached.

The refresh limit is controlled by Google and is beyond our control. Here is a summary of how it works:

Every time you enter your client ID/secret and click on the "connect" button in a Google block a refresh-token is generated behind the scenes. This refresh token is saved and used to download data from the Google server. Google have hard-coded a limit of 25 refresh tokens per client ID/secret. What this means is that if you have 26 Google blocks and you connect on each one in order, once you connect on the 26th block the first block's refresh token becomes invalid. If you attempt to refresh the data the "invalid grant" error will be shown.

If you are using the same client ID/client token and are regularly creating and configuring Google blocks you are likely to run into this issue.

We have spoken to Google about this issue and there is no way to change this limit or to get notification when a refresh token becomes invalid.

We will be improving the error message shown when this error occurs. We will also investigate ways that we can get around this issue, perhaps by storing refresh tokens on the server.

In the short term here are a few tips for getting around this issue:

  • If you regularly use the Google connectors, create several client ID's/secrets. Maybe create one client ID/secret for production and one for testing.
  • If you are using Google connectors in a production system, avoid using the client ID/secret elsewhere
  • Keep track of the client ID/secret that you are using and the associated Omniscope files.

We apologise to all our users affected by issue, it appears that Google have recently introduced this restriction and we understand it has caused a great deal of frustration. We will endevour to create a better solution, but in the meantime if you have any further questions please get in touch.]]>

Printing: PDF output layout differs when running as Scheduler task? http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/2625/printing-pdf-output-layout-differs-when-running-as-scheduler-tasks Tue, 01 Jul 2014 10:27:06 -0400 enrico68 2625@/discussions
We opened the .iok file on the same Omniscope server where the scheduled process runs (Omniscope Server version 2.8 b1216 is installed) and looks like that trying different online page settings (xga, svga, ..) does not have an impact on the Scheduled process behaviour.

In the attached file, it is possible to see an example of the different layout observed: when produced manually from the .iok file, the table reported is completely visible; when produced by the scheduled output process the table is not completely visible.

It seems to me that scheduled process uses different page dimensions and configuration settings to produce the PDF file?

The desired result is obviously to have the same PDF output in both production methods: manual and by scheduled process.]]>

I'm currently using the following formula =LEFT([LandingPageURL],SEARCH("?",[LandingPageURL]))

The idea is this just takes all the characters in LandingPageURL up to the question mark, however the result of the search is always 1, so I'm assuming question mark is a wildcard here. If it is, is there a way to not use it as a wildcard? I've tried to 'escape'/'literal' the ? character with backslash within the quotation marks and outside, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

while this looked at least partially promising as it appears that communication is occuring with the lDAP server I then tried another non existent userid and got the same message:

which suggests that the "successfully logged in active directory" part of the message may not mean the userid has been validated.

I can send you the folder.xml file separately if that would help.

I've been able to get the code examples to work but I don't know how to write the JavaScript to actually get the graphs to use the data within Omniscope files.

The code example here has a section which define var data and the array of data, how do I write it so that var data becomes a reference to columns of data in the Omniscope file?

var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([

In the next release of Omniscope 2.8 (b1248) and Omniscope 2.9 (1271) we have updated the GoogleAnalytics connector.

The following is a summary of the changes we have made:

  • We have changed the section order/names, for example "Visitor" has now become "User".
  • We have removed some deprecated metrics/dimensions, for example "Visitor type".
  • We have added several new metrics/dimensions, for example "Goal conversions", "App Tracking", "Audience" etc.
  • We have changed the names of some of the metrics/dimensions, for example "Search keyword" has been changed to "Search time". These changes have been made so that the names used inside the connector are now inline with the names used in the GoogleAnalytics website.

This has been a fairly substantial overhaul, and it may impact any pre-configured reports that use GoogleAnalytics as a source, particularly if you have specified any dimensions/metrics that have been removed/replaced.

Once the version listed above is available on the Visokio website please download and check your report output and if necessary re-configure any downstream blocks in your DataManager workflow to accommodate the changes.

If you have any questions or encounter any problems please let us know.
