We will discuss existing use cases at various customers, what the options are and what your organization is doing about it.

8. GDPR… a real life customer example 23K+ Communities, who is responsible to say they are GDPR compliant? Dear users, are you working GDPR compliant? Ehh…. I dunno, am I? What about the communities I work in, that’s not just me! Owner: Ehh…. Ask community owners for GDPR compliance check! What about Communities without owner? ? I’m not responsible! ('inadvertent’ owner) What about archiving rules & regulations? ? …<crickets>… YES NO Community remains WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?! Remove 7K X V Hey! You deleted MY community!?!?
9. What RESTORE options do we have in case it’s needed…? • Private but with members • Private without members • Restricted with members • Restricted without members but with visitors • Public with members • Public without members but with visitors 900 Communities, without an owner… Remove? X WHAT ABOUT… archiving rules & regulations? WHO DO YOU ASK? Members? Department head? (of whom??) Active users? Former Owners? Ownerless communities WHO SAYS SO? IT? Management?

10. Fleeting owners syndrome… Community owners GDPR Hey, wait…! You point owners at their responsibility (like GDPR) and suddenly they all flee, leaving the last unfortunate one stuck with the buck as the last owner can’t remove ownership for himself….
11. Some of the risks and challenges identified • Ownerless communities, how do you determine who should take over? • Communities with only one owner, do you force them to assign a backup? • Communities without activity, do we keep them or not? • How to Archive Communities? • Move/Merge content, what options are there? • How do you contact owners/members? Mail, status updates, other? • …

13. What is available to get analytical information? Analytics in Connections: • Metrics (Front end for Elasticsearch/Cognos) • Server Metrics (just some global numbers) • Wsadmin command (administrator) • SQL queries in the database (Off the deep end… and badly documented) Third party tools: • Kudos Analytics (ISW) • ConnectionsExpert (panagenda) • Social Intranet Analytics für HCL Connections (Mindlab) Administration tools: • ICXT (Formerly IC360) • CAT • DomainPatrol Social
14. Metrics https://<Connections URL>/metrics So what if I want to see all?
15. Server metrics High level numbers, no details…
16. Wsadmin Command • Can get an export of community data... – Display name and directory UUID of the user who last modified the community – Date and time when the community was created – List of tags associated with the community – Community visibility type (public, publicinviteonly, or private) – Community name – Total number of members in the community (including owners and members) – Date and time that the community was last modified – Community description – Display name and directory UUID of the user who created the community https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYGQH_6.0.0/admin/admin/t_admin_communities_generate_hashmaps.html {lastModBy=[John Smith, 76982F24-BCC0-4D11-0083-242F9876C0BC], created=10/5/10 9:59:41 PM EDT, tags=[tag1, tag2, tag3], type=public, name=Marketing Community uuid=3e5ecf96-1cf8-4da4-b8bb-87d61e80299b, memberSize=12, lastMod=10/5/10 9:59:41 PM EDT, description=Community used by Marketing folks for brain storming strategies for new products., createdBy=[John Smith, 76982F24-BCC0-4D11-0083- 242F9876C0BC]} Still no details on things like usage… And how good are your excel skills?
17. Screenprints CE, KA & SA Web session based… Event & log based…
18. ! You can simply select and copy to excel…. But only per page so with 23K communities this is tedious….
