Collecting statistical data
XBOUND can collect statistical data in a separate database during the
processing of documents. You can interpret these statistics using common
analysis tools. Functionality in the XBOUND Server detects new and changed
data sets
and adds them to the statistics database. (More information.)
Note: Document names are not checked. For example, if a new document enters the XBOUND database and has the same name as a document that is already in the statistics database, the new document is copied into the statistics database anyway.
Important:
Data is not deleted from the statistics database automatically. You must
do this manually.
Collecting statistical data
Use this procedure to configure the collection of statistical data:
Set up the statistics database using the procedure described in the XBOUND Installation Guide, in the section called "Creating the databases." Use the database script located in the Statistics subdirectory of the folder mentioned in the instructions.
Recommended: Run the statistics database on an separate database server so that the performance of the XBOUND database is not adversely affected.
Using the XBOUND Management Center, open a console containing the Data Manager.
Under, click the link that says . The dialog is displayed.
Specify the connection data for the statistics database, and click to test the connection.
Select .
Optional: Select . (

information.)Click and confirm with . The statistical data and (if selected) history data from the production database start synchronizing to the statistics database. Wait until the action has finished.
This can
take several minutes or even hours, depending on the amount of production
data and the database server's performance.Click .
Check the status line in the Process Designer to see whether synchronization was successful. If there was an error, double-click the error message to see a more detailed description and resolve the problem.
Now any changes to the data sets listed above are automatically kept synchronized in the statistics database.
Tip: In the report in the Report Manager Dashboard you can see the number of statistics synchronization processes that are waiting to be written to the statistics database. At the bottom you can also see the average synchronization time in milliseconds, and the date and time of the oldest item in the queue.
Stop collecting statistical data
To stop collecting statistical data, deselect . If you activate the statistics again later, synchronize the statistical data again (see step 6 above).
