This guide takes you through the steps of connecting IBM SPSS Modeler to Adobe Analytics data, enabling seamless data import, preparation, and analysis. With the CData ODBC Driver for Adobe Analytics, you can unlock the full potential of your Adobe Analytics data data within IBM SPSS Modeler for actionable insights.

Overview

Here is an overview of the steps:

1. CONFIGURE THE ODBC DRIVER: Set up a connection to Adobe Analytics data in the CData ODBC Driver for Adobe Analytics by entering the required connection properties.
2. SET UP ODBC CONNECTION IN SPSS MODELER: Establish the ODBC connection within IBM SPSS Modeler by selecting the configured DSN.
3. IMPORT AND PROCESS DATA: Import the Adobe Analytics data data into SPSS Modeler, then review, filter, transform, and prepare the data for predictive analytics and statistical modeling.

Configure the Adobe Analytics DSN Using the CData ODBC Driver

To start, configure the DSN (Data Source Name) for Adobe Analytics data in your system using the CData ODBC Driver. Download and install a 30-day free trial with all the features from here.

Once installed, launch the ODBC Data Source Administrator:

• On Windows: Search for ODBC Data Source Administrator in the Start menu and open the application.
• On Mac: Open Applications, go to Utilities, and select ODBC Manager.
• On Linux: Use the command line to launch ODBC Data Source Administrator or use unixODBC if installed.

Once launched, double-click on the CData Adobe Analytics data Source and enter the required values to establish a connection:

Adobe Analytics uses the OAuth authentication standard. To authenticate using OAuth, create an app to obtain the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL connection properties. See the "Getting Started" section of the help documentation for a guide.

Retrieving GlobalCompanyId

GlobalCompanyId is a required connection property. If you do not know your Global Company ID, you can find it in the request URL for the users/me endpoint on the Swagger UI. After logging into the Swagger UI Url, expand the users endpoint and then click the GET users/me button. Click the Try it out and Execute buttons. Note your Global Company ID shown in the Request URL immediately preceding the users/me endpoint.

Retrieving Report Suite Id

Report Suite ID (RSID) is also a required connection property. In the Adobe Analytics UI, navigate to Admin -> Report Suites and you will get a list of your report suites along with their identifiers next to the name.

After setting the GlobalCompanyId, RSID and OAuth connection properties, you are ready to connect to Adobe Analytics.
