Code Your Way Corner How to implement Cross-Site In-Session Sitecore Analytics

I came across this weird scenario wherein we were migrating old legacy project coded in Vb.net into Sitecore. So during this process, we had to migrate in a prioritized manner which made difficult to share analytics across two different projects. So I have just noted down what I did in order to accomplish the same.

Assume we have a scenario with two different projects which are utilized for same Website (Some pages in Sitecore and Some pages in any other framework ). Let's Assume Sitecore Project named as "CodeYourWaySitecore" and other project named as  "CodeYourWayLegacy"
For CodeYourWaySitecore and CodeYourWayLegacy (“CodeYourWayLegacy.demo.com” and “CodeYourWayLegacy.demo.com”)  are hosted on different websites.  
By default in session, analytics work for each individual site.  Identifying and merging contacts at the end of the session allows for post-session interactions(assuming the contacts have been identified) but does nothing to address the user interactions on both sites.  Out of the box, no personalization on the CodeYourWaySitecore would kick in based on the interaction triggered on the CodeYourWayLegacy until after session end.
It turns out that you can share an analytics session assuming that the sites in question share a domain and you have a shared session database:
  1. Configure shared session cookies based on a domain by adding “ <httpCookies domain=”.demo.com”/>” (with your domain name of choice of course) in the system.web section of the web.config of both projects.
  2. Configure a shared session state database (instructions for 8.2 are here (Please note that while you use session DB it should be Sitecore session DB, For example: If your Sitecore instance is CodeYourWaySitecore then it would be CodeYourWaySitecore_Sessions)


If you want to add some diagnostics to view this real time, you can access the Tracker.Current.Session.Interaction data.  You will see it contains the same ContactId and InteractionId for both websites and the pages collection including page visits and goals triggered are in sync across both sites as well.
Voila – Analytics/ Interactions now works for both the sites exactly the same as it normally does for a single site.

Let me know if you face any difficulty in setting up.

Cricinfo:South Afrcia Vs India second T20 Live score

South Afrcia Vs India second T20 Live score

India and South Africa move to centurian from Johannesburg for the second of three T20I series. Considering the aggression of team India in first T20, India are clear favourites. South Africa didnt give India a fight in the first T20. Most of the elite players not playing is an unfavourable situation from African team. De Villiers did not play in the first T20. Players Like Du Plesis and Quinton De Kock are not available for the entire series.

• Bumrah in no 1 bowler in T20 rankings along with Rashid Khan.
• Virat Kohli has scored 900+ points in both O
DI’s and tests.
• India eye for one more series on the tour.


South Africa’s batting woes.

Chasing above 200 was tough irrespective of pitch. But none their batsmen fought apart from Hendricks and Beherdein. When South Africa last played ODI here, It has lost by eight wickets against India. Their bowling attack is looking very Ordinary. None of their bowlers are experianced. Experienced players like Miller and Duminy dissapointed them in the first T20I.
Fifer for Bhuvaneswar Kumar

Bhuvaneswar Kumar picked up fifer in last T20 and became the first Indian bowler to pick up five wicket haul in all the three formats. Bhuvi along with inform Chahal and Kuldeep is tough to compete. Suresh Raina who represented India after a long time started of agressively ,but couldnt stay at crease for a long time. This match is very critical for Suresh Raina. Rohit Sharma also had a disappointing match. It was partnership between Kohli and Dhawan set up the match for India. Only concern for India is MSD and Manish Pandey are struggling to score runs at brisk pace.
Catch all the liveaction from 930pm on TEN1.

Team chasing will win the match.

Though the match is played on New Zealand soil, Aussies are clear favorites for the match.David Warner has won 8 out 9 games in his captaincy.

Will Aussies carry on with their winning streak?

Inclusion of Aron Finch is definitely a boon to the side. He has missed out on first two t20’s of the series. D’arcy short stole the opening slot from Finch. David Warner will continue to play as opener. Aussies were triumphant in their last game played here. They are currently ranked 7th in the t20 rankings. But surely will move upward post the series. Andrew Tye has a miserable last game. He concede 64 runs and picked up two wickets. Ben Wheeler almost pulled out an unwanted record. He conceded 61 in runs in just 3.1 over’s.

Kiwis are number two side in the ranking, but they haven’t played like one. Though they are in final, they have won only one in the three games played. They could not chase 193 in their last game againstEngland. Kiwi’s batting strength lies in the openers. Their middle order is looking brittle. Kane Williamson is not in best of his form ,which is a curse for them.

Bangladesh Vs Srilanka Live score , Dhaka

Mirpur, Dhaka, will host the first t20 of two match t20 series. Srilanka won the test series 2-0 before the t20 series. Srilanka even won the tri nation ODI series before the test series. Two teams will move to Sylhet after the first T20 to play second t20.

Mahamadullah will lead the side in the absence of their regular skipper. Nazmul Hussain or Mehady Hasan will play the spinner role. They lost their last two match in T20’s. But their form is far better than their opposition’s, who have lost all their last five games. The main threat for Srilanka is Mustafizur Rehman. But srilanka seems to be enough prepared to tackle Rehman.

Injury woes for both the teams

Both the teams are facing injury challenges.  Recently Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rehman have joined the injury list and are uncertain to play first T20, Which will be held at MIrpur. Skipper Sakhib ul Hasan  is already ruled out from T20’s as he injured his finger  during Tri nation final. Srilanka already lost few key players for t20’s. Srilanka too is filled with Ijuries. Angelo Mathews is not in the squad due to hamstring injury. Kusal Mendis is anniunced as replacemnt for Kusal Perrera, who is also injured. Now Asela Gunaratne also picked up an injury . But his replacement is yet to be announced.

Momentum with Srilanka

Momentum is with Srilanka after winning Test and ODI series. Upul tharanga said the same  before the match in conference. Thisera Perrera lead Srilanka Side in T20’s against India last year. It was a huge disaster for Srilanka. They could not even give fight to Indian team. Chandimal was miserable when he last visited Bangladesh. His Strike Rate is below hundred in 20 of 42 matches he played

Cricinfo Predictions

Shabbir Rehman to score a fifty.

Team chasing will win the match,

Chameera to pick up two or more wickets.

Cricinfo: India Vs South Africa Livescore card

Fifth ODI: India Vs South Africa Preview

India will play against South Africa in Tuesday.South Africa has registered their first win in the series In rain effected game.India still can afford to lose a game to clinch the series. But scenario is completely different in Proteas perspective. They can not afford to lose if they wish to level the series.They cannot win the series from hereon.. Fifth ODI will be played at port Elizabeth.

Few insights before the match.

  • Dhoni is just 47 runs away in order comlete 10000ODI runs
  • India has lost all the five games they have played here before.
  • Team chasing has won 17 times in 32 games played here.

Spinners still hold the key

Chahal and Kuldeep were crucial in the first three victories of India. But they have leaked runs in fourth ODI.D avid Miller was dropped by sheets just.Miller was also bowler by chahal .So we cannot say that Proteas have completely read spinners.Kedhar g who missed out last match is still uncertain to llahthe match.

India is quite confidant as Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli are in super form. But if they get out early, middle or will be seriously vetted. Rohit, Rehane and Harshika Pandya are not among the runs. Shreyas Iyer will get another chance if Kedhar Jadhav doesn’t recover. Few jitters were observed when Shreyas Iyer came out to bat. It was his first time batting on South African Soil.

Comeback of Ab De Villiers  has influxed huge confidence in South African team. It was clearly evident how South African players handled spinners. Inclusion of Morne Morkel also increased their bowling strength.

Pitch

Pitch conditions are definetly inclined to India. Average batting score in last five ODI’s is 320. Catch all the live action from 430IST on Ten 1.

Cricinfo Predictions

Virat Kohli to score century

Chahal to pick two or more wickets.
