Difference between UsageDetails.aspx and SPUsageWeb.aspx

 

When a colleague of mine asked me the difference between the site usage pages available under Site Administration in the site settings page, I had to dig to get the answer and here it now sharing with you now. Smile

The page itself was different for two different site

1.     Site 1 was showing  - UsageDetails.aspx (http://myserver/site1/_layouts/usageDetails.aspx )

2.     Site 2 was showing – SPUsageWeb.aspx(http://myserver/site1/_layouts/SPUsageWeb.aspx )

 

 

After going thru some the articles available over net, I could realize that it is due to the type of feature that is activated.

a.       Office SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features

b.      Office SharePoint Server Standard Site features

Basically if you are using plain WSS then you would see the usageDetails.aspx page for usage reporting and if you are using MOSS (SharePoint 2007) with both STDANDARD and ENTERPRISE features enabled then you would be directed to the SpUsageWeb.aspx page. Even only enabling enterprise feature would provide the SPUsageWeb page which has more intuitive and graphical representation of the site usage data.


Thanks for reading. If you have some other explanation – please post a comment… I’ll be happy to hear.
