OVID statistical reports

re getting stats from OVID now that they are on SP (as reported by comments on listserv CDPLUS-L):

OVID reports that their intent is to maintain the Gateway-module until the SP-module has
the same capabilities for statistical reports. Until then, the Gateway-module is the one to use.

The new version has a longer timeout so possibly fewer users can get in

At present, the Gateway-module is reporting the reliable data. The SP module, by contrast, is reporting only partially the same activity.

Feb 2008 was a short month not only due to the number of days but also because the Gateway to SP change occurred.

Reports can be accessed directly from within the statistics program (rather than from email). They appear under "completed reports" up in the left hand corner under "welcome." Make sure that you have "all content" checked in the pull down menu under "report scope."

The SP module e-mails you a link to their server when a given report is ready. This link is to a zipped (.zip) format file, which you, in turn, unzip to view two "comma-delimited" text files.
