Create an SAP BusinessObjects Universe on the CData JDBC Driver for GoogleAnalytics

This article shows how to use the CData JDBC Driver for GoogleAnalytics to connect to Google Analytics from SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence applications. You will use the Information Design Tool to analyze Google Analytics data and create a universe on the CData JDBC Driver for GoogleAnalytics. You will then connect to the universe from Web Intelligence.

Create the JDBC Connection to Google Analytics

Follow the steps below to create a connection to the Google Analytics JDBC data source in the Information Design Tool.

1. Copy the CData JAR and .lic file into the following subfolder in the installation directory for BusinessObjects: dataAccess\connectionServer\jdbc\drivers\jdbc. The CData JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
2. Right-click your project and click New -> New Relational Connection.
3. In the wizard that results, click Generic -> Generic JDBC datasource -> JDBC Drivers.
4. On the next page of the wizard enter the connection details.

5. On the next page, set the Authentication Mode option to "Use specified username and password". Enter the username, password, and JDBC URL. The JDBC URL begins with jdbc:googleanalytics: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

   OAuth 認証標準を使用してGoogle Analytics に接続します。ユーザーアカウントまたはサービスアカウントで認証できます。組織全体のアクセススコープを本製品に許可するには、サービスアカウントが必要です。下記で説明するとおり、本製品はこれらの認証フローをサポートします。

   ユーザー資格情報の接続プロパティを設定せずに接続できます。次を設定して、接続してください。 Profile：接続するGoogle アナリティクスのプロファイル、またはビューに設定。この値はProfiles テーブルから取得できます。指定しない場合は、初めに返されたプロファイルが使われます。接続すると、本製品はデフォルトブラウザでOAuth エンドポイントを開きます。ログインして、アプリケーションにアクセス許可を与えます。本製品がOAuth プロセスを完了します。他のOAuth 認証フローについては、ヘルプドキュメントの「OAuth 認証の使用」を参照してください。

   A typical JDBC URL is below:

   jdbc:googleanalytics:Profile=MyProfile;
6. Enter the driver class: cdata.jdbc.googleanalytics.GoogleAnalyticsDriver
7. Finish the wizard with the default values for connection pooling and custom parameters.

Analyze Google Analytics Data in the Information Design Tool

You can use the JDBC connection to analyze Google Analytics data in the Information Design Tool.

1. In the Local Projects view, double-click the connection (the .cnx file) to open the Google Analytics data source.
2. On the Show Values tab, you can load table data and enter SQL queries. To view table data, expand the node for the table, right-click the table, and click Show Values. Values will be displayed in the Raw Data tab.
3. On the Analysis tab, you can then analyze data by dragging and dropping columns onto the axes of a chart.

Publish the Local Connection

To publish the universe to the CMS, you additionally need to publish the connection.

1. In the Local Projects view, right-click the connection and click Publish Connection to a Repository.
2. Enter the host and port of the repository and connection credentials.
3. Select the folder where the connection will be published.
4. In the success dialog that results, click Yes to create a connection shortcut.

Create a Universe on the JDBC Driver for GoogleAnalytics

You can follow the steps below to create a universe on the JDBC driver. The universe in this example will be published to a repository, so it uses the published connection created in the previous step.

1. In the Information Design Tool, click File->New Universe.
2. Select your project.
3. Select the option to create the universe on a relational data source.
4. Select the shortcut to the published connection.
5. Enter a name for the Data Foundation.
6. Import tables and columns that you want to access as objects.
7. Enter a name for the Business Layer.

Publish the Universe

You can follow the steps below to publish the universe to the CMS.

1. In the Local Projects view, right-click the business layer and click Publish -> To a Repository.
2. In the Publish Universe dialog, enter any integrity checks before importing.
3. Select or create a folder on the repository where the universe will be published.

Query Google Analytics Data in Web Intelligence

You can use the published universe to connect to Google Analytics in Web Intelligence.

1. Copy the cdata.jdbc.googleanalytics.lic file to the following subfolder in the BusinessObjects installation directory: \dataAccess\connectionServer\jdbc\drivers\jdbc. The license file is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
2. Open Web Intelligence from the BusinessObjects launchpad and create a new document.
3. Select the Universe option for the data source.
4. Select the Google Analytics universe. This opens a Query Panel. Drag objects to the Result Objects pane to use them in the query.
