side of the
Import Facebook Data window.

Indicate the Facebook
fan page that you want to import. Valid values include the full URL
(for example, http://www.facebook.com/SASsoftware)
or the page name (for example, SASsoftware).

Enter the maximum number
of posts, comments, and replies to return.

(Optional) In the
LASR
Table section, modify the table name and description. Review the
library and location settings by clicking
Advanced.
Make any necessary changes.
You do not have access
to the
Advanced section if you are using the explorer or designer and do not have the
Build Data capability. Instead, you can import the data to a general-purpose area or select
Store
the table in a private location to prevent other users
from accessing the data.
-
(Optional) Review the Proxy
Server section. Make changes if necessary.
-
A Facebook limitation can cause the table to be created with only partial data. If
this occurs, you will receive a
warning message. To get a complete
data set, try making one or more of the following adjustments before rerunning the import:
-
Indicate a smaller date range.
-
Limit the number of posts, comments,
or replies.

Run the import at a lower traffic
time.
