Overview

Here is an overview of the steps:

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

Configure the Microsoft Dataverse DSN Using the CData ODBC Driver

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

You can connect without setting any connection properties for your user credentials. Below are the minimum connection properties required to connect.

• InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
• OrganizationUrl: Set this to the organization URL you are connecting to, such as https://myorganization.crm.dynamics.com.
• Tenant (optional): Set this if you wish to authenticate to a different tenant than your default. This is required to work with an organization not on your default Tenant.

When you connect the Common Data Service OAuth endpoint opens in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions. The OAuth process completes automatically.

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 Microsoft Dataverse 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 Microsoft Dataverse 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.
