Configuring the Site Map File

Article summary

In order to run SDC v7.5a or higher, you need to configure a site map file that contains the DCSID for each of your data sources. As you add SmartSource data sources to your WebTrends installation, you need to update the site map file.

The site map file also supports Express Analysis and real-time analysis for WebTrends software, which require additional configuration. For more information, see “Express Analysis” in the WebTrends Administration User’s Guide.

Note

Express Analysis and real-time analysis are only supported with SDC installed in a Windows environment. SDC with Unix does not support Express Analysis.

To create an SDC site map:

  1. Open the webtrendssites.lst file located in the SDC installation directory\cfg directory.
  2. Copy the first line in the file and modify it for your DCSID. Each line of code represents a DCSID that you want to track. The following table describes the fields in the site map file based on this example:
    dcs5w0txb10000wocrvqy1nqm_6n1p, -5, 1, NULL, 1, 1

Site Map Fields:
