Introduction to the Statistics Adapter

The Statistics Adapter allows you to manage the life cycle of objects in the context of enterprise applications, tools, and solutions. IBM® SPSS® Statistics supports publishing and sharing of objects through a central IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository, where they can be shared among users, shared with other applications, and tracked using versioning.

Example. A group of managers in an organization must run standardized quarterly reports, using command syntax that is maintained by an analyst. Each quarter the managers contact the analyst for the latest copy of the command syntax. With the Statistics Adapter the analyst can store the standardized command syntax in a IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository and modify it as needed. The managers can then retrieve the latest version of the command syntax directly from the IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository.

You must have access to a IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository, which is supplied with IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services.
