By connecting HCL Domino data data to SPSS Modeler via the CData ODBC Driver for HCL Domino, you can leverage real-time access for advanced data mining, predictive modeling, and statistical analysis.

This guide takes you through the steps of connecting IBM SPSS Modeler to HCL Domino data, enabling seamless data import, preparation, and analysis. With the CData ODBC Driver for HCL Domino, you can unlock the full potential of your HCL Domino 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 HCL Domino data in the CData ODBC Driver for HCL Domino 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 HCL Domino data data into SPSS Modeler, then review, filter, transform, and prepare the data for predictive analytics and statistical modeling.

Configure the HCL Domino DSN Using the CData ODBC Driver

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

Connecting to Domino

To connect to Domino data, set the following properties:

• URL: The host name or IP of the server hosting the Domino database. Include the port of the server hosting the Domino database. For example: http://sampleserver:1234/
• DatabaseScope: The name of a scope in the Domino Web UI. The driver exposes forms and views for the schema governed by the specified scope. In the Domino Admin UI, select the Scopes menu in the sidebar. Set this property to the name of an existing scope.

Authenticating with Domino

Domino supports authenticating via login credentials or an Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) OAuth application:

Login Credentials

To authenticate with login credentials, set the following properties:

• AuthScheme: Set this to "OAuthPassword"
• User: The username of the authenticating Domino user
• Password: The password associated with the authenticating Domino user

The driver uses the login credentials to automatically perform an OAuth token exchange.

EntraID (formerly AzureAD)

This authentication method uses Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) as an IdP to obtain a JWT token. You need to create a custom OAuth application in Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) and configure it as an IdP. To do so, follow the instructions in the Help documentation. Then set the following properties:

• AuthScheme: Set this to "EntraID (formerly AzureAD)"
• InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
• OAuthClientId: The Client ID obtained when setting up the custom OAuth application.
• OAuthClientSecret: The Client secret obtained when setting up the custom OAuth application.
• CallbackURL: The redirect URI defined when you registered your app. For example: https://localhost:33333
• AzureTenant: The Microsoft Online tenant being used to access data. Supply either a value in the form companyname.microsoft.com or the tenant ID.

  The tenant ID is the same as the directory ID shown in the Azure Portal's Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) > Properties page.

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 HCL Domino 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 HCL Domino 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.
