Have you ever noticed that some of the SiteCatalyst Report Settings appear to have a life of their own ? You know, You change a setting, and then later on, say late in the evening when you are working at home, the setting is suddenly back to where it was before you changed it, but [...]
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. The problem lies in the desktop manager, Omniture Discover is, as of now, not compatible with the Gnome desktop [...]
Another maintenance release from Omniture, this time with some great news/changes & fixes. 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 [...]
I’ve been writing about Omnitures way of dealing with timzones previously, since then a few changes has been made to both the SiteCatalyst and the Data Warehouse report scheduler.

According to Omniture ClientCare, the issues reported by the supported users are to a certain degree used when Omniture has to prioritize and decide what to include in the next Omniture suite maintenance release. So, do not count on that “someone else” will report the issue you just experienced, if it is bugging you, please [...]
One of the many things about Omniture that makes a really nice first impression, is the amount of technical documentation available. It appears that everything has been documented in great detail. But, after some time you’ll probably realize that while the amount of documentation is impressive, the quality isn’t always equally impressive. So what’s the [...]
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 [...]
