The basic (single) Web log template enables you to process
only one clickstream log in a job. This template is useful when you
need to do a trial run on a single log to determine whether all of
the data in a clickstream log can be read properly. You can also use
it whenever you need to process a single clickstream log, regardless
of the log file size. In situations that require you to process multiple
larger logs or enable you to split a single very large log, the multiple
Web log template yields better performance because it uses parallel
processing to process multiple logs at the same time. For more information,
see
About the Basic (Multiple) Web Log Template Job.
The basic
(single) Web log template uses a Clickstream Log transformation to
locate the log, a Clickstream Parse transformation to parse the log
data into meaningful columns, and a Clickstream Sessionize
transformation to identify sessions within the data and generate output.
The template also includes Checkpoint transformations to send error
notifications when steps in the job fail.
