An installation of HCL Unica products is complete when you install, configure, and deploy the HCL Unica products . The Installation Guide provides detailed information about installing, configuring, and deploying the products.

When you plan your Unica Campaign and Unica Optimize installation, you must ensure that you have set up your system correctly, and that you have configured your environment to deal with any failures.

The Unica Campaign runtime environment uses data sources to store user and interaction data.

You must run the Unica installer to start the installation of Unica Campaign and Unica Optimize. The Unica installer starts the product installer during the installation process. Make sure that the Unica installer and the product installer are saved at the same location.

Before you deploy, create and populate the Unica Campaign , Unica Optimize, and IBM eMessage system tables and register Unica Campaign, Unica Optimize, and IBM eMessage manually.

You can deploy the Unica Campaign web application by using an EAR file or you can deploy the individual WAR files.

After you deploy Unica Campaign, you must verify that the Unica Campaign listener is running, set up the Unica Campaign system user, set Unica Campaign configuration properties, and verify the Unica Campaign installation.

In the Unica family of products, partitions provide a way to secure the data that is associated with different groups of users. When you configure Unica Campaign or a related Unica application to operate with multiple partitions, users can see each partition as a separate instance of the application. There is no indication that other partitions exist on the same computer.

Configure multiple partitions in IBM eMessage to isolate and secure data for different groups of IBM eMessage users. As each partition has its own set of configuration properties, you can customize IBM eMessage for each group of users.

This section provides an overview of the Unica Platform utilities, including some details that apply to all the utilities and which are not included in the individual utility descriptions.

Run the Unica Campaign and Unica Optimize uninstaller to uninstall Unica Campaign and Unica Optimize. When you run the uninstaller, the files that were created during the installation process are removed. For example, files such as configuration files, installer registry information, and user data are removed from the computer.

You can configure the Unica Campaign web application (J2EE application) in a cluster by completing additional tasks during the Unica Campaign installation.

Follow these instructions if you want to install a clustered listener configuration. A listener cluster is a set of two or more listeners that act as a unit to provide load balancing and high availability. Unica Campaign listener clusters are Active-Active; meaning each node serves requests using the load-balanced approach. Each Unica Campaign listener provides an interface between front-end clients (such as the Unica Campaign web application) and back-end analytical server processes.

Unica Campaign is a web-based solution that enables you to design, run, and analyze direct marketing campaigns.

One of the first things you do in Unica Campaign is to create a marketing campaign to identify your objective. Each campaign is defined by its business objective, initiative, and effective date range. A campaign always consists of at least one flowchart, where you select recipients and assign offers. You can create, view, edit, delete, and perform similar operations on marketing campaigns.

Unica Campaign flowcharts define the campaign logic. Each campaign consists of at least one flowchart. A flowchart performs a sequence of actions on data that is stored in your customer databases or flat files.

Unica Campaign flowcharts define the campaign logic. Each flowchart in a campaign performs a sequence of actions on data that is stored in your customer databases or flat files.

Offers are specific marketing communications that you send to particular groups of people, using one or more channels. Each offer is based on an offer template that a Unica Campaign administrator defines.

A cell is a group of people that you want to target, such as high value customers. A target cell is a cell that has an offer assigned to it.

Unica Campaign maintains contact history to record information about offers that are sent to contacts. History is also recorded about control cells, to identify customers who are purposely not sent the offer.

Use the Response process in a flowchart to track the actions that occur after a campaign. When you run the Response process, data is recorded in the response history tables and is available for the Unica Campaign performance reports.

If there are campaign components that you use frequently, you can save them as stored objects. Reusing stored objects across flowcharts and campaigns saves time and ensures consistency.

Sessions provide a way to create persistent, global "data artifacts" for use in all campaigns. Each session contains one or more flowcharts. Running a session flowchart makes the outcome of the session (the data artifacts) available globally to all campaigns.

Unica Campaign provides reports to aid in campaign and offer management.

Some special characters are not supported in any Unica Campaign object names. In addition, some objects have specific naming restrictions.

If you need help from HCL to troubleshoot a flowchart, you can automatically collect relevant data to send to the Technical Support.

The Settings menu provides access to most of the tasks that Unica Campaign administrators typically perform.

The Unica Campaign System Tables document is intended to help you understand the Unica Campaign data model for integration purposes.

Use these topics to help troubleshoot performance and other issues.

Unica Campaign provides documentation and help for users, administrators, and developers.

The Unica Campaign SOAP API specification defines version 3.0 of the Application Programming Interface, also referred to as Unica CampaignServices. This specification is delivered as part of the Unica CampaignServices Software Developer's Tookit (devkits) installed with Unica Campaign.

Use the Unica Campaign REST API to manipulate campaigns, offers, offer lists, attributes, and target cell objects.

Use the Validation Plug-in Developer's Kit (PDK) to develop custom validation logic for use in Unica Campaign.

Macros can be used in Unica Campaign and Unica Interact to enhance your flowcharts.

HCL Unica provides GDPR support for the following Unica products:

Unica Campaign provides the gdpr_purge.bat/sh utility. Unica Campaign users may use this utility to generate delete statements for customers' records that are required to be erased from the Unica Campaign system. These delete statements are generated for the Unica Campaign system tables. Customer records that are required to be erased are provided in an input file and the output is the generated delete statements. We have listed the Unica Campaign system tables in which customer data may reside (for which delete statements are generated) in the following two sections.

This section describes the high level procedure to execute the Unica Campaign GDPR utility.
