[Eril-l] USTAT

[Bazemore, Edward Brooks (CDC/OPHSS/CSELS) (CTR)]

Hello.

Does anyone know if Silverchair is just not compatible with USTAT or is there a trick to making them talk to each other? I cannot seem to get any journals on Silverchair to work (using Chrome or Firefox) although I get different error messages depending on whether I use the URL Silverchair gives me (http://sushi.silverchair.com/SUSHIservice.svc) or the one USTAT pre-populates the field with (https://silverchair.com/api/soap/analytics/SushiService). Depending on which I try, I get either "Requestor not authorized" (although its pasted directly from SC's SUSHI instructions) or a programming error [java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not generate DH keypair].

More generally, I'm interested in experiences with USTAT as a primary means of collecting COUNTER usage data. We are looking at re-registering our subscriptions with the USTAT  SUSHI service and so far the difficulty with Silverchair seems to be a one stumbling block. Also, I see the reports USTAT generates are for calendar year only. So, I'm wondering - Do you see it as an effective tool for harvesting statistics? Have you been able to configure it so it replaces the need to manually download stats from each publisher or do you use it as a supplement? Or, alternately have you found issues with its functionality that causes you to abandon it. If so, is there another system that you would recommend?

Thanks in advance.
Ted
