SPSS amos

Hi,
I need help with my macbook pro with Retina display: 2.6GHz Dual-core Intel i5, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM, 128GB PCle-based Flash Storage. Operating system: OS X Mavericks.
I want to install SPSS Amos on my mac (statistic analysis software from IBM).
I used to have SPSS Amos 5.0, which is free and available for download on internet. I looked for it, but from the information I found it looks like an SPSS Amos is not supported by Mac. I was not able to find any version to download.
Do you know how to install and run SPSS Amos on a Macbook?
In alternative, do you know any similar software I may use instead?
I thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Katia

Since SPSS Amos is only available to run under a Windows configuration, you have two choices. Install Windows as a Virtual Machine with a host program such as Parallels Desktop or use Boot Camp to create a Windows partition on your machine and run it there.
Since you only have 128GB of storage I would probably recommend going with Parallels (that, and it's what I use so I'm more comfortable with it). You would need to purchase Parallels ($80 USD or so?) and whichever copy of Windows you prefer (and SPSS Amos might use a particular flavor of Windows most efficiently so you'll need to Google and ask around).
There were rumors that SPSS Amos was going to be available for OS X a number of years ago, but those rumors never reached fruition. You'll just have to run it under Windows on your Mac.
Good luck,
Clinton

Script task error during the creation of partition by reading a table and using AMO - SSAS 2012

Hi,
I need to create SSAS (tabular) and process partitions in an authomatic manner. Moreover, the partitioning is respect to a category, an year and a month.
Category, year and month are resident on a table to read to create the SSAS partitions.
So, in a SSIS pkg:
a. I've created a data flow task to read the SQL Server table having category, year and month data,
b. I've connected the output of the ole db source as the input for a recordset destination, associated to an object variable,
c. I've used a for each loop container (ado enumerator) specifying the object variable and three variables, for category, year and month,
d. inside the for each loop container I've created a script task using AMO (visual basic) to control for any existing partitions, if not presents to create the new ones and then to process them.
For the first iteration, a new partition has been created and processed successfully, but then, for other category, year and month values the script task fails. I've controlled the code many times and I've tried to put returning messageboxes but I've found
anything. The error is a generic one and no other info are returned.
Well, any suggests to me in order to solve this issue, please?
Many thanks

Hi, thanks, I've solved adding to the code end the SSAS server connection termination.

[Forum FAQ] How do I create calculated measure using AMO in SQL Server Analysis Services?

Introduction
In SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), you can create a calculated measure in SQL Server Data Tool (SSDT)/Boniness Integrated Development Studio (BIDS). Sometimes you may need to create calculated measure by using AMO in a C# or VB project.
In this article, I will demonstrate so how to create calculated measure using AMO in SSAS?
Prerequisites
Before create calculated measure using AMO, you need to ensure that the following components were installed in your server.
The multidimensional database AdventureWorks Multidimensional Model 2012
A SQL Server with SSIS and SSAS installed
The AMO libraries installed:
X86 Package (SQL_AS_AMO.msi)
X64 Package (SQL_AS_AMO.msi)
Solution
Here is the detail steps to create calculated measure using AMO in SSAS.
Open SSDT and create a new SSIS project.
Drag Script Task to the design surface.
Click SSIS-> Variables to open the Variables window and add two variables that used to connect to the server and database.
Create a connection to connect to SSAS server.
Rename the connection name to ssas.
Double click the Script Task to open Script Task Editor.
Add Connection and Database variables to ReadWriteVariables textbox and then click Edit Script button.
Add AMO reference in the Solution Explore window.
Copy the script below and paste it into the script.
Dim objServer As Server
Dim objDatabase As Database
Dim strDataBaseID As String
Dim objCube As Cube
Dim objMdxScript As MdxScript
Dim objCommand As Command
Dim strCommand As String
objServer = New Server
objServer.Connect("localhost")
objDatabase = objServer.Databases("AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-EE2")
strDataBaseID = objDatabase.ID
If objDatabase.Cubes.Count > 0 Then
objCube = objDatabase.Cubes("Adventure Works")
If objCube.MdxScripts.Count > 0 Then
objMdxScript = objCube.MdxScripts("MdxScript")
objMdxScript = objCube.MdxScripts(0)
Else
objCube.MdxScripts.Add("MdxScript", "MdxScript")
objMdxScript = objCube.MdxScripts("MdxScript")
End If
objCommand = New Command
strCommand = "CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Multipy Measures By 3]"
strCommand = strCommand & " AS [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] * 3, "
strCommand = strCommand & " VISIBLE = 1 ; "
objCommand.Text = strCommand
objMdxScript.Commands.Add(objCommand)
objMdxScript.Update()
objCube.Update()
End If
objServer.Disconnect()
Then you can run this SSIS package to create the calculated measure.

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

Creating Tabular Models using AMO

Hi,
I am trying to setup Tabular Models on SSAS using AMO referring to the materials available at Technet and the Codeplex AMO Tabular Tutorial. I have a few questions/issues
currently and was hoping I could get some help from here. The tool I am working with currently supports Multidimensional mode via AMO and I am trying to extend most of its features from the Multidimensional model. So, some of the questions might not exactly
fit into the Tabular model and if so, please do point them out.
RELATIONSHIPS: While creating relationships among tables,
would it suffice to create the relationship in the Data Source View Schema (as the tool currently does for the Multidimensional mode) or should we explicitly create relationships under the dimensions that we create to represent the table in Tabular mode? The
latter is the approach mentioned in the tutorial and I wanted to know if there is any difference between the relationships created using the 2 methods.
MEASURES: I am trying to create measures using Native
OLAP Measure objects in the Tabular model. I understand the shortcomings of this type of measures but I would still need to create them for basic aggregation functions like SUMMATION, COUNTS etc… I tried creating the measures using the same Measure Group that
was created to represent the table and used a ColumnBinding to the Measure’s source-column for the measure object’s source property but I get the following error:
Binding for VertiPaq measure MEASURE_NAME in measure group MEASURE_GROUP_NAME is invalid because it does not match any property binding of the fact dimension
TABLE_NAME
Am I missing anything here? Is there a better way of creating OLAP measures in TABULAR model without using the default Table dimensions that we create?
HIERARCHIES: I tried creating new Dimensions to hold
hierarchies for a table but when creating them, I get the error about MISSING ROWNUMBER attribute. Is this attribute mandatory for every dimension that is created?
To avoid this problem, I used the same dimension that was created to represent the table and tried adding inter-table attribute relationships to it but I get the following exception
message which I cannot figure out.
VertiPaq property ‘’ cannot have a name binding.
In general, can we create separate measure groups and dimensions, apart from the ones we use to represent the table, to store the custom measures and hierarchies? Is this a recommended
approach? This way, I am trying to keep things in parallel with the Multidimensional model that our tool currently supports but when I create such individual dimensions and measure groups, I get an error on the mismatch between the number of measure groups
and dimensions in the table.
Please bear with the long list of questions. I could not find any help online for these and so am posting them all here.
Thank you.

No - relationships in the DSV have no impact on the end model. You need to explicitly create relationships between your dimensions and measure groups for them to be picked up as relationships in your tabular model.
MEASURES: I am trying to create measures using Native OLAP
Measure objects in the Tabular model. I understand the shortcomings of this type of measures but I would still need to create them for basic aggregation functions like SUMMATION, COUNTS etc… I tried creating the measures using the same Measure Group that was

Am I missing anything here? Is there a better way of creating OLAP measures in TABULAR model without using the default Table dimensions that we create?
There is no concept of native measures in a Tabular model. You need to create all your measures as "Calculated Measures" in AMO, but using the appropriate DAX expressions instead of MDX.
HIERARCHIES: I tried creating new Dimensions to hold hierarchies
for a table but when creating them, I get the error about MISSING ROWNUMBER attribute. Is this attribute mandatory for every dimension that is created?
To avoid this problem, I used the same dimension that was created to represent the table and tried adding inter-table attribute relationships to it but I get the following exception message

Yes, I believe every table needs the hidden RowNumber attribute. The
TableAddEmptyTable function in the tabular AMO sample on codeplex shows you how to create this.
In general, can we create separate measure groups and dimensions, apart from the ones we use to represent the table, to store the custom measures and hierarchies? Is this a recommended
approach? This way, I am trying to keep things in parallel with the Multidimensional model that our tool currently supports but when I create such individual dimensions and measure groups, I get an error on the mismatch between the number of measure groups
and dimensions in the table.
No you can't create any extra structures. Tabular projects only supports a subset of AMO. You need to follow the example on codeplex very closely and read all the code comments if you are making changes because it's very easy to break things.
My suggestion is to create an abstraction layer either using the TabularAMO library from codeplex as it is or creating your own library if you only need a subset of the functionality. This will mean that your core code is not too tightly bound to AMO. The
reason for this is that I would hope that MS will replace AMO with something better for Tabular models in a coming release and having a clear abstraction layer should make it easier to update to a new API.

JDBC-ODBC Bridge to SPSS data files - Result Set Type is not supported

Hello,
As mentioned in the subject I am trying to read SPSS data files using the SPSS 32-Bit data driver, ODBC and the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.
Using this SPSS Driver I manged to read the data directly into an MS-SQL Server using:
SELECT [...] FROM
OPENROWSET(''MSDASQL.1'',''DRIVER={SPSS 32-BIT Data Driver (*.sav)};DBQ=' SomePathWhereTheFilesAre';SERVER=NotTheServer'', ''SELECT 'SomeSPSSColumn' FROM "'SomeSPSSFileNameWithoutExt'"'') AS a
This works fine!
Using Access and an ODBC System DNS works for IMPORTING but NOT for LINKING.
It is even possible to read the data using the very slow SPSS API.
However, when it comes to JDBC-ODBC the below code does only work in part. The driver is loaded successfully, but when it comes to transferring data into the resultset object the error
SQLState: null
Result Set Type is not supported
Vendor: 0
occurs.
The official answer from SPSS is to use .Net or to use their implementation with Python in their new version 14.0. But this is obviously not an option when you want to use only Java.
Does anybody have experience with SPSS and JDBC-ODBC??? I have tried the possible ResultSet Types, which I took from:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/ad/rjvdsprp.htm
and none of them worked.
Thank you in advance for your ideas and input & stay happy!
Here the code without all the rest of the class arround it:

    // Submit a query, creating a ResultSet object
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery (query);
    // Display all columns and rows from the result set
    dispResultSet (rs);
    // Close the result set
    rs.close();
    // Close the statement
    stmt.close();
    // Close the connection
    con.close();
}

Thank you for your reply StuDerby!
Actually the above script was before, as you suggested, leaving the ResultSetTeype default. This did not work...
I am getting gray hair with SPSS - in terms of connectivity and "integratebility" none of their solutions offered is sufficient from my point of view.
Variable definitions can only be read by the slow API, data can only be read by Python or Microsoft Products... and if you want to combine both you are in big trouble. I can only assume that this is a company strategy to sell their Dimensions Platform to companies versus having companies developping their applications according to business needs.
Thanks again for any furthur suggestions and I hope, that some SPSS Developper will see this post!
Cheers!!

SPSS not working... please help!

Hi!
I'm desperately looking for help... I really need SPSS to work on my mac!
I have a new mac with the following specs:
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
I can't get SPSS start on it! Neither 19 nor 20 version works. It installs successfully and then just opens the initial blue SPSS box and nothing else happens. I then have to force shut it...I tried the patches and fixes available online... I just can't believe that such an expensive machine would not run a programme like that!
There just must be a solution...
Please help! I have to practice before my exams:/
Jo

Even though SPSS may have worked with 10.7 is no assurance it still works with 7.2 which is why you need to talk with the SPSS people for help. If you wish to reinstall Snow Leopard:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

SPSS - where to download one for macbook pro that works

Hey Guys!
I have a very big problem, for my uni it is required for me to use SPSS and of course my university is mac unfriendly.
So I have a question if anyone know of the link for a free trial version of SPSS for Macbook pro 10.6.8.
Take Care

Welcome to the forum, mladizi!
Remember that Google is your friend.
The IBM website has a 14-day trial of version 21.
Comparison of versions 18-21 for Mac OS 10.5-10.8.

It may seem that way if you see more PCs than Macs. Consider checking with the University's IT Department or Bookstore to see if they have a relation with some of the retailers of academic version software such as OntheHub. These retailers offer discounts on purchase or rental of many types of software such as the SPSS GradPack. See the links to Student versions on that web page.
Good Luck!

Connecting SPSS to my oracle database

Hello I am trying to connect my SPSS to our database.
My system includes:
SPSS 14
Oracle 8.17
Windows XP
and now Oracle 10g
(I am not very computer literate, so if you need more info let me know)
I initially did not have Oracle 10g on my computer, but it was suggested I try it out.
I still get an error, but now its a different error.
Before installing 10g, I was using the SPSS OEM 5.0 Oracle driver to try to connect and was getting the following error:
SQL driverconnect failed: Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 127. (SPSS OEM 5.0 Oracle)
Now after I installed 10g, I tried both the SPSS OEM 5.0 Oracle driver and the
Oracle in OraClient10g_home1 driver and I get the following error:
TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have two different tnsnames.ora files.
Which one you use depends on the database you connect to.
The two files are not in sync which is why you are getting this error.
You need to sync them and/or set TNS_ADMIN to the directory of one of those files.
TNS_ADMIN is a string value in the registry in hkey\local_machine\software\oracle

Can Microsoft SSRS or IBM SPSS be used to customize UCCX Historical Reports?

Hello,
I have a client with UCCX 8.0 and is interested to know if Microsoft SSRS or IBM SPSS can be used as an alternative of Crystal Report to customize UCCX reports.
As I have limited knowledge on those products, wondering if someone else can provide some information on this.
FYI, I posted this on Developers Forum too, still waiting for responses.
Thanks,
Kapil

Hi,
if you want to keep the Historical Reporting Client provided by Cisco, then I am afraid Crystal is your only option.
If you don't mind setting up a separate platform, then you can use anything capable of talking to an IBM Informix server.

Labview compatibility with SPSS

Hi
I am a student and I write my project.
A part of my project is to take data from sensors and analysed via SPSS program..
I read that is possible with the Active X function.
Have someone of you any example or link that could help me.
Thanks in advance

Activex support for LabVIEW is very good and if you have the documentation for SPSS, you should be able to connect and send information to it. Please refer to our website for more information in how to program with ActiveX:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361E-01/lvcomm/activex_client_functions/
On a side note, you should also look in LabVIEW, in special in the Mathematics, Signal Processing palette and see if that would be not sufficient for you. LabVIEW improved a lot in the latest 3 releases and have a comprehensive number of functions for advanced math and statistics.
Also, if you would prefer to use equations, you could use Mathscript for your application. If you have some m-files available for analysis, this could generally be used in LabVIEW. For more information, see:
http://www.ni.com/labview/mathscript.htm
If you can't find the analysis that you are looking for, let me know. Maybe I could in converting to LabVIEW. Always remember to tell which version of LabVIEW and which OS your are using.

Fastest way to grant cube permissions per AMO (250 roles, 30 cubes)?

Hi there,
can anybody tell me the fastest way to grant cube permissions in a scenario, where for example 250 roles have to be granted for 30 cubes?
Now, I do it with AMO, iterating throgh the roles, setting cube permissions.
My method for granting access looks like this:
public void GrantCubePermission(Role pRole, Database pDatabase, string pCubeName, ReadAccess pReadAccess, WriteAccess pWriteAccess, ReadSourceDataAccess pReadSourceDataAccess, bool pProcess, ReadDefinitionAccess pReadDefinitionAccess)
try
if (pRole == null) return;
Cube cube = pDatabase.Cubes.FindByName(pCubeName);
if (cube == null) return;
CubePermission cubePermission = cube.CubePermissions.FindByRole(pRole.ID);
if (cubePermission == null)
cubePermission = cube.CubePermissions.Add(pRole.ID);
cubePermission.Read = pReadAccess;
cubePermission.Write = pWriteAccess;
cubePermission.ReadSourceData = pReadSourceDataAccess;
cubePermission.Process = pProcess;
cubePermission.ReadDefinition = pReadDefinitionAccess;
cubePermission.Update(UpdateOptions.AlterDependents, UpdateMode.UpdateOrCreate);
catch (Exception ex)
Msg(ex.ToString(), "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
Doing it this way, the operation tooks about 4 seconds per role (the given method is executed 30 times per role, the number of the cubes to be granted for).
Finally, for 250 roles, the operation tooks about 16 minutes.
Is there a way to do it faster?

Did you consider XMLA ?

Adding a many-to-many relationship with AMO

Does anyone have an example of adding a many-to-many relationship using AMO that is NOT the AMOAdventureWorks example?
Specifically, I'm trying to do the following:
1. Create the new measure group (cube.MeasureGroups.Add("New MeasureGroup"). This will be the factless measure group that's used to resolve the many-to-many
2. Add a measure to it (something simple, like a Count)
3. Add a regular cube dimension to the measure group linking one side of the many-to-many to a normal dimension
4. Add a regular cube dimension to the measure group linking the other side of the many-to-many to a normal dimension
(3. and 4. above are "RegularMeasureGroupDimension" type)
5. Add a ManyToManyGroupDimension to the measure group. I use the ID of (3) above for its CubeDimensionID
This is where I get stuck. I get an error "Another 'MeasureGroupDimension' object has the 'Requesting BU Lookup' key." (and this is the name of the dimension that I added in step 3).
I could've sworn this worked just the other day! I can easily create these relationships using the GUI, but I just can't seem to get the AMO right to make it happen in code. Has anyone else been successful at this? I've stared a hole into AMOAdventureWorks, and it doesn't help :-(
(BTW: Scripting to XMLA is not an option, because of the restricted environment where cube customization needs to take place)

Dear John Lynn,
Would you be willing to share the sample of your code? I'm having some troubles myself and would find another sample than the AMOAdventureWorks
very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

How do I import a SPSS .sav file into SQL 2008 r2 using SSIS

Hi there,
Like the title says, I'm trying to import an SPSS .SAV file into an SQL 2008 R2 database using SSIS.
I've tried a few things, but i cant seem to get it to work properly. I'm hoping there's someone out there who could point me in the right direction.
I've tried the following:
Tried the IBM step by step manual (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v6r0m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Faccess_odbc.htm)
--Couldnt folow this guide because I didnt have the SPSS MR DM-2 OLE DB Provider.
Tried installing the provider using (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Fdts_troubleshooting.htm) as a guide to download the provider listed (www-03.ibm.com/software/products/nl/spss-data-model).
--This didnt work, I still could not see the provider listed after install and rebooting the server.
Tried to get the file as CSV (Company couldnt provide it in CSV or another format)
The server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit, has the Data Collection Data Model installed on it with SQL Server 2008 R2.
If anyone could point me in the right direction they could make my day!
Thanks in advance!

According to your description, you want to import a SPSS .sav file to SQL Server 2008 R2 database. If that is the case, we can achieve this requirement with SPSS or SQL query. For more details, please refer to the following methods:
