    6. Click Save configured API.

    Your client is now created. Note that your client has an Client ID (API Key) and a Client Secret. These are added in the next step.

    • OAuth Client Id—the client Id assigned when you registered your Adobe Analytics account for OAuth.

    • OAuth Client Secret—the client secret assigned when you registered your Adobe Analytics account for OAuth.

    • RSID—(optional) your report suite identifier. To find your RSID, navigate to Admin > Report Suites. If left blank, the connection tries to detect it automatically.

  3. At the top of the CData Connect Cloud Add Adobe Analytics Connection page, click Save & Test.

    • If the connection test succeeds, a message indicates that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated.

CData Connect Cloud displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.

    • Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
