The current version of IBM SPSS Text Analytics for Surveys does not support the export of data directly into the UNICOM Intelligence Data Model. However, you can merge your coded data with your original UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer data by following these steps:

1 Export your coded data into a SPSS (.sav) file.

For more information, see “Exporting Data” in the IBM SPSS Text Analytics for Surveys User's Guide.

2 Edit the #define statements in STAfSMerge.txt, which by default is in the [INSTALL_FOLDER]\IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\7\DDL\Scripts\Data Management folder.

There is a description of each #define statement in the file.

3 In UNICOM Intelligence Professional, run the mrScriptBasic script called STAfSMerge.mrs, which is in the same folder as STAfSMerge.txt.

This mrScriptBasic script creates a metadata document (.mdd) file.

4 In UNICOM Intelligence Professional, run the data management script called STAfSMerge.dms, which is installed in the same folder as STAfSMerge.txt.

This script merges the coded data in the .sav file with your original UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer data, and then puts the merged data in a new UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer database.
