Overview

Here is an overview of the steps:

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

Configure the UKG Pro HCM DSN Using the CData ODBC Driver

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

Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the UKGProHCM Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\UKGProHCM.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for UKGProHCM (see below).

UKGProHCM API Profile Settings

UKG Pro HCM uses Basic authentication combined with a customer API key to authorize access to the API. To connect, you will need your UKG Pro HCM credentials and a customer API key issued by UKG.

Set the following connection properties to authenticate:

• AuthScheme: Set this to Basic.
• User: Set this to your UKG Pro HCM username.
• Password: Set this to your UKG Pro HCM password.
• ProfileSettings: Set this to a semicolon-separated list containing:
  • Host: Your UKG Pro HCM tenant hostname (e.g., yourcompany.ultipro.com).
  • CustomerAPIKey: Your UKG customer API key. This is passed as the US-CUSTOMER-API-KEY request header on each API call.

To obtain your customer API key, contact your UKG Pro HCM administrator or refer to the UKG Developer Portal at https://developer.ukg.com.

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 UKG Pro HCM 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 UKG Pro HCM 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.
