Analytic Server Export node

The Analytic Server Export node enables you to write data from your analysis to an existing Analytic Server data source. This can, for example, be text files on Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) or a database.

Typically, a stream with an Analytic Server Export node also begins with Analytic Server Source nodes, and is submitted to the Analytic Server and executed on HDFS. Alternatively, a stream with "local" data sources can end with an Analytic Server Export node in order to upload relatively small datasets (no more than 100,000 records) for use with Analytic Server.

If you want to use your own Analytic Server connection instead of the default connection defined by your administrator, deselect Use default Analytic Server and select your connection. For details about setting up multiple Analytic Server connections, see Connecting to Analytic Server.

Data source. Select a data source containing the data you wish to use. A data source contains the files and metadata associated with that source. Click Select to display a list of available data sources. See the topic Selecting a data source for more information.

If you need to create a new data source or edit an existing one, click Launch Data Source Editor....

Mode. Select Append to add to the existing data source, or Overwrite to replace the contents of the data source.

Generate an Import node for this data. Select to generate a source node for the data as exported to the specified data source. This node is added to the stream canvas.

Note that using multiple Analytic Server connections can be useful in controlling the flow of data. For example, when using the Analytic Server Source and Export nodes, you may want to use different Analytic Server connections in different branches of a stream so that when each branch runs it uses its own Analytic Server and no data will be pulled to the IBM® SPSS® Modeler Server. Note that if a branch contains more than one Analytic Server connection, the data will be pulled from the Analytic Servers to the IBM SPSS Modeler Server.
