Let me save you some time: It doesn’t work! Although the discover.jnlp (Java Web Start) file does indicate that Discover should be able to run on several Linux variants, well Ubuntu Linux isn’t one of these.

Most noticeable is a change in the way data feeds are being processed, they are now processed based on the timezone of the report suite instead of the data center timezone, for me, located in Denmark I guess this means a Data [...]

Some time ago, on October 22, Omniture announced the availability of http://customers.omniture.com/. Early today on November 4. the site wasn’t very much available, as it went down together with Omniture Sitecatalyst. It’s hard to say precisely what went wrong, but my guess is that the loginsystem on customers.omniture.com shares some resources with the normal Omniture [...]

So, I learned something new today. If a SiteCatalyst maintenance release doesn’t contain any new features the release notes are left out completely, despite the fact that a lot of issues have been fixed in the maintenance release.

Omniture has fixed a few of the issues I’ve been mentioning here previously. The Conversion Classification editor problem has finally been fixed. Even though the fix isn’t mentioned in the release notes. The time zone confusion has been solved, or partly solved would probably be a more precise description, it has been fixed when setting [...]

I’ve been working with the Omniture Web Services API lately, it puzzles me why all the provided PHP sample code uses NuSOAP. PHP has a native SoapClient, as far as I can see there is no need to use the huge NuSOAP library. The only challenge is how to make the authentication with the Omniture [...]
