Just for context - I work at Webtrends http://developer.webtrends.com/people/adron.hall - so if you need more insight feel free to ping me again via adron.hall at webtrends dot com.

My first questions is are you using the site software version or the ondemand SaaS version? It also depends on which version.

If you're using the latest version of software the best way to go about getting things from the Webtrends Analytics product data store is to use the ODBC connector that is available for the product. This you can download from the web UI and it installs with a single click. I can provide more documentation, just send me an e-mail and I'll send you the actual documentation file on this.

The other method, and this is currently in beta and available only to OnDemand customers is to use the web services (REST based) that we've created. Check out the documentation here: http://product.webtrends.com/dxapi/index.html

Please do send me an e-mail and I'll be sure to get you hooked up with the information you need.

Thx - Adron

Hi Adron,I am trying to configure ODBC driver in my machine, but it is giving error as "Unable to retrieve plist". I am trying to sortout this issue with webtrends support team.We had a webex meeting they also unable to fix this issue. Presently i am using WIndows 7 and i work at Microsoft redmond campus. If you can help me to solve this issue that would be great..

I just reread this again and realized you mentioned Windows 7. Currently the ODBC driver doesn't work with Windows 7. My suggestion is to use the new Web Services (REST based) to pull data. Much faster than ODBC. :) Let me know if this helps.
