Curious if anyone has worked with the Webtrends API using .net or vb 6.0 who can give me a hand. I've been trying to create a Webtrends ActiveX plug-in using the approach they provide as well as the API they provide.

Particularly I'm looking to have my web logs parsed through using the API to change all instances of & (html coded ampersand) to & because Webtrends does not understand the coded versions when doing URL Parameter Analysis and ends up skipping a bunch of analysis.

According to their support staff, this is only something that their pro services can do (read as money grubbing consulting services) if you can't figure it out on your own.

I've tried using the functions provided such as:
VB.NET:
Private Function IWrcXlt_TranslateHit(ByVal nHandle As Long) As Long
Dim sResult As String
sResult = iCallback.ResolveName(nHandle, "urlandparams")
sResult = Replace(sResult, "&", "&")
Call iCallback.ApplyTranslation(nHandle, "urlandparams", "replace", sResult)
End Function

But this doesn't seem to do a thing when the report is actually published.

If anyone has done this, please contact me. Thank you.
 
I'm not sure why you would need the WebTrands API to do this string replacement as the .NET framework includes the functionality to do this. Of course I have no knowledge of the structure of the web logs you write about. If the weblogs are some sort of text files, there should be no problem using native .NET code.
