In my post Installing MapD on Microsoft Azure, I showed how to install MapD Community Edition on Microsoft Azure, using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as the base image. One thing I glossed over during the firewall/security section was that I opened ports for Jupy... [Read more...]

With pretty regular frequency I get emails asking if RSiteCatalyst can be used with Microsoft Power BI. While admittedly I’m not a frequent user of the Windows operating system (nor dashboarding tools like Tableau or Power BI), I am pleased to report... [Read more...]

This blog post will be fairly short, given the minor nature of the update. Several users complained about OAUTH2 authentication not working, which I didn’t know because I usually use the legacy authentication method! Luckily, GitHub user leocwlau re... [Read more...]

I released version 1.4.12 of RSiteCatalyst before I wrote the release notes for version 1.4.11, so this blog post will treat both releases as one. Users should upgrade directly to version 1.4.12 as the releases are cumulative in nature. Get* method ad... [Read more...]

Version 1.4.10 of RSiteCatalyst brings a handful of new Get* methods, QueueDatawarehouse and a couple of bugs fixes/low-level code improvements. QueueDatawarehouse The most useful user-facing change IMO is the addition of the QueueDatawarehouse metho... [Read more...]

This blog post also serves as release notes for RSiteCatalyst v1.4.9, as only one feature was added (batch report request and download). But it’s a feature big enough for its own post! Recently, I was asked how I would approach replicating the marke... [Read more...]

In a previous post, I outlined how to load daily Adobe Analytics Clickstream data feeds into a PostgreSQL database. While this isn’t a long-term scalable solution for large e-commerce companies doing millions of page views per day, for exploratory an... [Read more...]

EDIT 5/10/2016 1:30pm: Several folks from Adobe Analytics/Adobe Marketing Cloud have contacted me, and everything is resolved. I can’t untweet other people’s retweets/shares or delete comments on LinkedIn, but if everyone could stop sharing any mor... [Read more...]

As part of getting RSiteCatalyst 1.4.8 ready for CRAN, I’ve managed to accumulate hundreds of testthat tests across 63 test files. Each of these tests runs on Travis CI against an authenticated API, and the API frequently queues long-running report... [Read more...]

For being in RSiteCatalyst retirement, I’m ending up working on more functionality lately ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Here are the changes for RSiteCatalyst 1.4.8, which should be available on CRAN shortly: Segment Stacking RSiteCatalyst now has the ability to... [Read more...]

In my previous post about the Adobe Analytics Clickstream Data Feed, I showed how it was possible to take a single day worth of data and build a dataframe in R. However, most likely your analysis will require using multiple days/weeks/months of data, a... [Read more...]

It seems as though I missed release notes for version RSiteCatalyst 1.4.6, so we’ll do those and RSiteCatalyst 1.4.7 (now on CRAN) and the same time… RSiteCatalyst 1.4.6 This release was mostly tweaking some settings, specifically: Adding a s... [Read more...]

More often that I would like, I receive datasets where the data has only been partially cleaned, such as the picture on the right: hundreds, thousands…even millions of tiny files. Usually when this happens, the data all have the same format (such ... [Read more...]

It’s only been a month since the last RSiteCatalyst update, and this update is also a pretty minor update in terms of functionality. Set Your Own Endpoint For the overseas users (or companies with weird setups), you can now use the endpoint argum... [Read more...]

As I’ve become more serious about contributing in the open-source community, having quality tests for my packages has been something I’ve spent much more time on than when I was just writing quick-and-dirty code for my own purposes. My most used... [Read more...]
