Upgrading causes Parameter Analysis reports to stop generating data

Products

Webtrends Analytics 8.5

Issue

You upgrade to Webtrends 8.5 and some of your parameter analysis reports stop generating data.

Resolution

There was a change to the analysis engine that affects the way the engine reads the wild card expressions for the parameter analysis definitions. To match: \folder\file.html you must specify: *\folder\file.html*

The primary difference being, that as a best practice, specify *target* with both leading and trailing asterisks (*).

Alternately, use a Regular Expression to match your values. You will have to update your parameter analysis definitions to reflect this change if you wish to see new data.
