Overview

Here is an overview of the steps:

1. CONFIGURE THE ODBC DRIVER: Set up a connection to Certinia data in the CData ODBC Driver for Certinia 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 Certinia data data into SPSS Modeler, then review, filter, transform, and prepare the data for predictive analytics and statistical modeling.

Configure the Certinia DSN Using the CData ODBC Driver

To start, configure the DSN (Data Source Name) for Certinia 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 Certinia data Source and enter the required values to establish a connection:

There are several authentication methods available for connecting to Certinia: login credentials, SSO, and OAuth.

Authenticating with a Login and Token

Set the User and Password to your login credentials. Additionally, set the SecurityToken. By default, the SecurityToken is required, but you can make it optional by allowing a range of trusted IP addresses.

To disable the security token:

1. Log in to Certinia and enter "Network Access" in the Quick Find box in the setup section.
2. Add your IP address to the list of trusted IP addresses.

To obtain the security token:

1. Open the personal information page on certinia.com.
2. Click the link to reset your security token. The token will be emailed to you.
3. Specify the security token in the SecurityToken connection property or append it to the Password.

Authenticating with OAuth

If you do not have access to the user name and password or do not want to require them, use the OAuth user consent flow. See the OAuth section in the Help for an authentication guide.

Connecting to Certinia Sandbox Accounts

Set UseSandbox to true (false by default) to use a Certinia sandbox account. Ensure that you specify a sandbox user name in User.

Setup an ODBC Connection in IBM SPSS Modeler

After configuring the DSN, it's time to connect to it in IBM SPSS Modeler:

• Launch IBM SPSS Modeler, log in, and create a new stream.
• From the Sources palette, locate the Database node, and drag it onto the canvas.
• Double-click the Database node to open the configuration dialog. Select , browse to select the configured DSN, then click OK.
• In the Database dialog, browse to select the table(s) you’d like to import, preview the data, and click OK to finalize.

You are now ready to process and analyze the Certinia data data in IBM SPSS Modeler.

Process Data: Filter, Categories, and Model

Once the tables are imported, you can refine, filter, categorize, and model your Certinia data data in SPSS Modeler:

• Filtering: Double-click your Database connection, go to the Filter section, and select/deselect fields to focus on relevant data. This improves processing speed and model accuracy.
• Set Data Types and Roles: Categorize your fields and assign roles to each data type by navigating to the Types section.
• Perform a Basic Analysis: Drag and drop the Analysis node next to your Database node, connect them, and click the Play button to run the stream and analyze the data.

You have now performed a simple analysis, enabling SPSS Modeler to process and display insights from your database.
