I am using Ominscope 2.7 Build 459 x64. My computer has a quad-core i5 2.6 GHz processor with 4 GB of RAM. Nothing else of any significance was running on the computer at the time.

Also, the progress spinner in the De-Tokenize block immediately displays 38% and stays at 38% the whole time. It would at least be nice to get an accurate indication of percent done.

Is there any thing I can do to speed-up the de-tokenize process?

Thanks,

To use the Criteo connector, you need to contact Criteo and let them know your username and the advertisers you need access to. They will then provide you with a token. This token should be used along with your username/password to download data via the connector.

The connector allows you to configure:

  • Report type. You can select either "Campaign" or "Catgeory".
  • Campaign/Category selection. Choose on or more campaings or categories (depending on which report type you have selected.
  • Aggregation type. Choose from "Hourly" or "Daily". "Weekly" and "Monthly" types will be made available shortly.
  • Date range. Select the start/end date for the report.
  • Columns. Select which columns you want to appear in your report.

Installation: Omniscope Server on Amazon EC2 (Linux) http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/2379/installation-omniscope-server-on-amazon-ec2-linux Wed, 16 Oct 2013 05:11:46 -0400 istvan 2379@/discussions Setting up an Omniscope Server on an EC 2 instance on Amazon

  1. Register an account at http://aws.amazon.com/ it will ask for email address, contact address and credit card details

  2. Got to http://aws.amazon.com/ and select My Account/Console -> AWS Management Console and click "EC2"

  3. Click the "Launch Instance" button

  4. Select "Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 LTS" (or whatever is the latest LTS release) 64 bit version

  5. Select at least an m1.large instance type(Memory optimized image highly recommended)

  6. Under "Configure Security Group" ensure that SSH and HTTP are added, if not present please add them.

  7. After everything is configured properly click "Launch" and select "Create a new key pair", give it a name and click "Download Key Pair" (usage: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html)

    Secure the ".pem" file, because that will be required for logging into the server and click "Launch Instances"

  8. The Instance should be available under the menu "Instances" in the "EC2 Dashboard"

  9. Click on the instance click the "Connect" button from the top, it will show the full ssh command to connect to the machine (ssh -i yourkey.pem ubuntu@yourpublicdns). A Java SSH client is also available from Amazon that can be used directly from the browser. We also recommend Putty for Windows.

  10. Install Omniscope server:
    After logging in with SSH, you can manually install Omniscope, see http://www.visokio.com/kb/linux-installs

  11. Deploy some IOK files to the HTML5 browser version “sharing folder” (webroot) typically at [home]/omniscope-server/mobile/

    To access the file system of the server under Windows you can use WinSCP, see: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/putty.html#Transfer_WinSCP

    We also recommend using Beyond Compare for Windows which natively supports SCP URLs such as scp://ubuntu@yourpublicdns/

  12. Configuration changes must be made manually in the XML, typically by configuring a separate Windows installation (you’ll need another test key for Omniscope Server) and deploying “C:/Users/username/omniscope-server/config.xml” to the Linux server.

    For example, you can configure usernames and passwords, and can enable web-based “file management” (upload, delete etc.).

    You can additionally create “folder.xml” files within different sub-folders of the “sharing folder” for folder-specific users and permissions. See “folder.xml.default” automatically created on first start in the sharing folder.

Server: Hosting HTML5 browser versions (2.9+) http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/2311/server-hosting-html5-browser-versions-2.9- Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:51:57 -0400 steve 2311@/discussions
To try Mobile in Omniscope 2.9, you can use your Desktop license and use "Desktop sharing" to one external device or browser. If you have a Server license, you can also use the Server app for production hosting of web-based reports.

After upgrading to 2.9, refresh your license from "Help > Licensing & activation" after installing 2.9, to be sure you have access. If you need help or a separate trial license of Server, for example, please email support@visokio.com.


What’s Omniscope Mobile?


Omniscope Mobile is effectively a new version of Omniscope built from scratch upon HTML5 standards. You need to host a server, then can view and explore reports with full interactivity on modern desktop browsers, ipads and other tablets, without any end-user installation or data-related memory requirements.

image

See https://omniscope.me/public for a simple demo server. Better still, use your own data on your own server...

Installing and activating Omniscope

Download and install the latest 2.9 from http://www.visokio.com/zan and refresh or activate your installation using your Omniscope licence key (see above). If installing on a Linux server, be sure to customise with sufficient memory, automatic on other platforms.

Omniscope 2.9 is currently in Beta. It’s feature-complete, and suitable for production use subject to your own external testing. Please report any errors or instability using the top-right "3 dots" menu > "Report error".

“Desktop Sharing”, "New interface mode" and “Server”


Your licence key gives you access to two distinct ‘views’ of Omniscope Mobile: "Desktop Sharing" (and the "New" interface mode), and "Server".

Desktop Sharing

Available in Desktop licenses (not in the free Viewer). To get started:
  1. Open an IOK file in the desktop Omniscope app.
  2. Click Settings menu > Web sharing > Viewing link (If you have a slightly older version of 2.9, Main toolbar > Mobile > Viewing link)
  3. This will open a Mobile version of your file in a browser.
  4. Use Settings menu > Web sharing to enable sharing with another device on your network or the internet.

Omniscope Desktop now bundles a lightweight web server for short-term use, such as previewing in your own web browser (e.g. so you can refine your IOK file for Mobile restricted functionality), or demoing to a colleague or client similar to screen-sharing. It is included from the Desktop edition of Omniscope, and limited to 1 remote client, so cannot be used as a production server.

New interface mode

If you are publishing by distributing IOK files to the free Viewer, you can now choose the "New" Mobile interface mode within the same desktop app in 2.9, browser-based via a bundled embedded browser. This improves performance and responsiveness, and reduces memory requirements. To try this:
  1. Open an IOK file in the desktop Omniscope app.
  2. Click Settings menu > Interface mode > New (If you have a slightly older version of 2.9, Main toolbar > Mobile > Slide from Desktop to Mobile)
  3. Omniscope will change to the new mode, supporting navigating tabs, selecting and filtering and changing data titles such as "Split" and "Pane".
  4. Use File menu > Save to make the file open like this when opened by your target audience (providing they've upgraded to 2.9).


Server

To get started:
  1. Launch the Omniscope Server shortcut.
  2. In the server app UI, you’ll see an additional “Omniscope Web Server” service in addition to “Scheduler”. In this section...
  3. If not running, click “Config” and tick “Enable server”, then click “Start”.
  4. Click the “Sharing folder” link, and drop some IOK files here.
  5. Click the “Serving at” link and explore Mobile versions of your IOK files.
  6. Use the “Config” button to configure permissions, users, web-based uploads, bind address/port, etc.
  7. Create “folder.xml” files (a default is provided) to customise permissions per folder. Edit these using Settings > Server > Edit folder.xml configuration (Desktop app) or Settings > Edit folder.xml configuration (Server app).


Omniscope Web Server is a simple and robust production web server which reflects a configurable sharing folder of IOK files. This can be local, or a network share, and is effectively an IOK-only “webroot” folder.

It includes HTTPS support, and works out of the box with a self-signed certificate. This means you will be able to test/demo with all exchanged data between client and server fully encrypted and secure, although you'll get a warning in the browser about the server certificate - in other words, the browser won't be able to confirm the server's identity. You can then buy and install a HTTPS SSL certificate verified by a well-known certificate authority (CA), to remove this browser warning. Read here on how to configure the SSL Mobile Web Server section. Public sites without user authentication can skip this and use HTTP instead of HTTPS, but if you need to authenticate with usernames and passwords, you should use HTTPS.

There's no direct database connectivity. To provide this, you'll need to use Scheduler (on the same or different server) to keep IOK files in the sharing folder up to date. Or manually add/replace IOK files in the sharing folder. See Client-side auto-refresh for details on configuring how the client handles updates to the server IOK.

If using linux, configurations must currently be made at a desktop login session on a Windows or Mac, and transferred across via the config.xml file. For now, it’s advisable to test and explore Mobile using Windows or Mac. Web-based admin will be included in the next version.


Notes


Unavailable functionality

In 2.9, we are only supporting a (large) subset of Omniscope Viewer functionality. An IOK file with unsupported settings will generate warnings in the Warnings menu in the browser. You need to remove these unsupported configurations from your IOK file to remove the warnings from your published report.
Notable unsupported features:
  • Custom styling (Only two presets, Analysis and Paper Report supported)
  • Chart, Devices, Venn, Portal, Radar views


Platform support

Omniscope Mobile is actively supported on the following client devices and browsers:
  • Windows - IE9+, Chrome, Firefox, inc. Windows 8 tablets
  • Mac - Safari, Chrome
  • iPad - Mobile Safari
  • Android 4.x+ tablets - Chrome

Omniscope Mobile will not work on Internet Explorer 8 or lower.
Other browsers (for example, Opera), and devices (for example, early Android tablets) are not actively supported as of yet - the application may work, however.
Small-screen devices (phones) will work on recent iOS or Android 4.x versions, but the IOK file will need reconfiguring to make best use of the small screen estate.
Omniscope Mobile's architecture is designed to perform well on good 3G connections or better.]]>

Mapping: ESRI geocoding added (2.9+) http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/2285/mapping-esri-geocoding-added-2.9- Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:44:01 -0400 chris 2285@/discussions
In the latest version of Omniscope 2.9 (b341) we have added two ESRI geocoding services. These are available in the "Geocode" operation.

  • Esri (batch). This will geocode locations in batches. Only one result (the best match) will be returned per location. This is useful when you want to geocode a large number of locations.
  • Esri (multi match). This will return a configurable number of matches per location. You can use the "Max matches" option to specify the maximum number of locations to return per location value.

Both of these services require an ArcGIS account. You can choose to use the ArcGIS online server or a custom server location (for example your own ArcGIS deployment).

Please let us know if you have any further questions.]]>

This feed allows you to connect an ArcGIS Server (or ArcGIS Online) and browse/select Feature Layers. After selecting one or more layers you can download this data as an Omniscope dataset. You can then visualise this data in a Map View.

Searches can be filtered on keywords or access levels and the results can be sorted on various fields.

In the screenshot below we have connected to ArcGIS Online and loaded United State boundaries which are shown on the Map View.

If you already have an ArcGIS Online account then you can use this functionality straight away. If you don't have an account then you can sign up at https://www.arcgis.com/home/signin.html.

We have now added a ReportBuilder option to the Omniscope DoubleClick connector in the latest version of Omniscope 2.9 (264). The DoubleClick connector now allows you to choose whether you want to run a report from either Report Central (old) or Report Builder (new). In the Report Builder options we have tried to replicate the web interface. We have currently implemented 3 reports (Standard, Floodlight and Path to conversion). We have also added the ability to download a pre-existing server report, so you can configure a report in the web interface and download it into Omniscope.

The screenshots below show a Standard report and a server report:
