I am not aware of any sample clients; however, you are correct, the report should have separate metric types for search_reg and search_fed etc.

 

Thanks

Subject: [sushidevelopers] Counter 3 SUSHI question

 

Hello,

I'm trying to create a COUNTER 3 compliant web service with SUSHI.  I've had trouble finding sample clients that support CR2 and database reports so I've been looking at the examples at http://www.niso.org/workrooms/sushi/reports_R3/

I've been looking at CR2.  http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/download.php/5140/counter3_0_example_cr2.xml

The output under ItemPerformance blocks shows categories SEARCHES and SESSIONS in use with a single instance of metric type count. I've noticed the same thing for DB1.  It seems like these reports should actually include the federated search and federated session data rather than just totals for session and search.  Are the examples on that website correct or should there be some representation of federated numbers in the SUSHI/Counter reports?  If so, what is the correct way to do this?

I've been wondering if there should be two instances per category using the metric types of session_fed and session_reg, etc.

Something like this within an item performance block:

<coun1:Category>Searches</coun1:Category>
                        <coun1:Instance>
                           <coun1:MetricType>search_reg</coun1:MetricType>
                           <coun1:Count>0</coun1:Count>
                        </coun1:Instance>
                        <coun1:Instance>
                           <coun1:MetricType>search_fed</coun1:MetricType>
                           <coun1:Count>0</coun1:Count>
                        </coun1:Instance>

rather than the example version:

<ItemPerformance>

<Period>

<Begin>2009-01-01</Begin>

<End>2009-01-31</End>

</Period>

<Category>Sessions</Category>

<Instance>

<MetricType>count</MetricType>

<Count>4</Count>

</Instance>

</ItemPerformance>
