This tutorial is intended as a guide for the creation of demo/test data only. The sample script provided is not intended for use in a productive system.













Purpose

The main purpose of this document is to show you how demo or test data can be provided for SAP hybris Marketing Data Management 1511 and up.

This tutorial explains one way of collecting tweets from Twitter based on a search term so that they can be used in the Sentiment Engagement workset of SAP hybris Marketing Data Management. A Python script for harvesting is executed from SAP HANA Studio (alternatively, you can use an Eclipse IDE such as Aptana Studio). The script inserts the collected tweets directly into interactions using an Odata service. If you run the script with the default settings, it will harvest 100 posts in one run for a given search term. However, you can change the script settings to retrieve more data per run.

To run the script, you will need to make a few customizing and configuration settings in order to use the PyDev plug-in in SAP HANA studio.

Prerequisites

Make sure that the following prerequisites are met before you start out:

  • Installation of SAP HANA studio

       Install SAP HANA studio

Please check SAP help file https://help.sap.com/hana/SAP_HANA_Studio_Installation_Update_Guide_en.pdf for more information about SAP HANA studio installation.
Tested with SAP HANA studio 64bit with minimal Version: 1.0.7200 and SAP HANA client 64bit, Microsoft Windows 7, 64 bit version.


  • Download Python that contains SSL Library.
    Download Python from http://www.python.org/downloadInformation published on non-SAP site and install it. The recommended version is Python 2.7.8. This was tested using 64bit Windows installer.


  • Application Registration in Twitter
    If you don't already have them, register your application and get your consumer key and consumer secret as follows:
    1. Open the URL: https://apps.twitter.com/ and register your application.
    2. Note down the consumer key and the consumer secret.


  • User and Role

        To import the tweets using Odata service, the SAP hybris Marketing user needs the role SAP_CEI_ECOMMERCE_INTEGRATION.

  Setting up the Editor to Run the File


     Carry out the following steps:

  1. Install Pydev plugin to use Python IDE for Eclipse
    The preferred method is to use the Eclipse IDE from SAP HANA studio. To be able to run the python script, you first need to install the Pydev plugin in SAP HANA studio:
    1. Open SAP HANA studio, click Help on menu tab and select Install New Software...
    2. Click the button Add... and enter the following information:
    3. Select the settings as shown in this screenshot:  

    4. Press Next twice
    5. Accept the license agreements, then press Finish.
    6. Restart SAP HANA studio.
  2. Configure the Python Interpreter
    In SAP HANA studio, carry out the following steps:
    1. Select the menu entries Window -> Preferences.
    2. Select PyDev -> Interpreters -> Python Interpreter.
    3. Click New... button, type in an Interpreter Name. Enter in field Interpreter Executable, the following executable file from the newly installed python location  C:\....\Python\Python.exe. Press ok twice.
  3. Create a Python project
    In SAP HANA studio, carry out the following steps:
    1. Click File -> New -> Project..., then select Pydev project.
    2. Type in a project name(example: TWITTER_DATA_COLLECTION), then press Finish.
    3. Right-click on your project. Click New -> File, then type your file name (for example: data_harvest_tweets.py). Press Finish.
  4. Create an external library path
    In SAP HANA studio, carry out the following steps:
    1. Right-click on your project, select properties and Pydev-PYTHONPATH.
    2. Select the tab External Libraries, then click on Add source folder C:\...........\Python\Lib.
    3. Press Apply, then OK.
  5. Import the script
    1. Copy the  Python script which is available at the end of this Document.
    2. In SAP HANA Studio,Open your newly created Python file from your project and paste the script.
    3. Click Save.

        Alternatively you can save the python script with .py extension in your file location and import this file to your project.

          

Customizing and Running the Script

1) Customizing and User Input for Python Script

  1. In your Eclipse editor, open the file data_harvest_tweets.py and maintain the following parameter in the CUSTOM PARAMETERS section of the script:

  2. Save the file.
    Feel free to adopt the search query and its options to your needs. Now you are ready to run the script.

2) Executing the Script

  1. Run the script from your editor.

  2. Enter the search term(s).
    Now you will receive data from Twitter, as you can see in your Eclipse IDE.
    The script can be run multiple times: It can extract data based on a search term for up to the last 7 days.

      

        You have now set up harvesting.
