Setting up a system user and defining a data source

Select or create an IBM® EMM system user and configure a data source for this user.

A system user is the user account that IBM® EMM uses to communicate with IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition. This account is associated with a corresponding IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition system user that is used to build and score models in IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition.

To set up a system user and define a data source, complete the following steps.

In IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition, create or identify a user account that has permissions to build and score models.

Note the user name and password for this IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition account.

In Marketing Platform, create or identify an account to configure as the system user. Give the system user the SPSSAdmin role in Marketing Platform, either by making the user a member of a group with this role or by assigning the role individually.

You can use the platform_admin user account. Because this user is a member of all partitions, the data source is available in all partitions.

On the system user's detail page, click Edit Data Sources > Add New.

Complete the fields as follows.

Data Source: Type any name. It is convenient to use SPSS_MA_ADMIN_DS because this is the default value of the SPSS® | Integration | SPSSCredentialDatasource property. The value of this property must be the name of this data source.

Data Source Login: Type the system user's IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition login name.

Data Source Password: Type the system user's IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition password.

Save your changes.
