Job Server / Web Server

Jobs can be scheduled by logging into the web server with Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari browser. This component is known as WebStatistica. 

Jobs can also be offloaded from the Statistica client application to the server. Offloading allows computationally intensive analytics to run on the server and frees the analyst to work on other tasks.  

Job can also be started by business users for ad-hoc analysis. They can log into the web server, select a job, select filtering and review results. 

Roles-Based Security

The product supports synching login accounts with the Windows domain. 

There are two layers to security. Users must first be granted access to a specific application or feature. The second layer must grant the user access to a specific object; database objects, database configurations, analysis configurations or report configurations. If a user creates an analysis configuration they will have read, execute, and edit permissions. Other users will not be able to see this new analysis unless granted permission. 

Metadata Store

The metadata can be versioned and approved with an electronic signature and changes tracked with an audit trail.  This provides the governance and data lineage which is mandatory for regulated industries; food & drug, insurance, and financial services. And is important to many other industries seeking to make critical operational decisions. 

Part of the store is a data catalog to help with data discovery. Searching can be done by keyword.

The metadata is organized into objects with referential integrity rules. 

Here is one workflow. 

Object: Database Connection Metadata: access permission, annotations, server name or file location, authentication information

Object: Data Configuration created from Database Connection Metadata: access permission, annotations, queries, stored procedure, filtering options, list of objects that use the configuration

Object: Analysis Configuration created from Data Configuration Metadata: access permission, annotations, filtering options, execution options, automatically update data/results every X seconds, list of objects that use the configuration

Object: Report Configuration created from Analysis Configuration(s) Metadata: access permission, annotations, filtering options, list of analysis configurations, scheduling execution, formating options
