Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) is a great tool for organizations to manage their business data. However, the business users face many difficulties in visualizing OBIEE data and struggle to make timely decisions.<\/p>\n
With BI Connector<\/a> in their Analytics arsenal, many organizations simplified OBIEE data visualization by integrating their OBIEE with modern data visualization tools such as Power BI, Tableau, and Qlik.<\/p>\n Some organizations using OBIEE have moved(or moving) to Oracle Analytics Cloud(OAC) and\/or Oracle Analytics Server(OAS) to simplify data visualization while managing to easily retain their existing OBIEE assets.<\/p>\n However, from an end-user perspective, a significant number of the users are already well-acquainted with a modern data visualization tool like Power BI or Tableau, or Qlik and prefer sticking to these tools, rather than switching to OAC or OAS for data visualization.<\/p>\n Hence, these organizations, despite moving to OAC or OAS, prefer connecting the modern visualization tool of their users\u2019 choice to OAC or OAS also.<\/p>\n BI Connector, until the v5.0 was working with OBIEE and OAC data sources. In v5.1, we have added the capability to connect to OAS data sources as well.<\/p>\n Ok, now you might get questions about how to configure your OAS DSNs. The quick answer is there are no major variations in the DSN configuration setup.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All you need to do additionally is check the Single sign-on box<\/strong> and choose the appropriate option for connecting to your OAC\/OAS data sources. You can check out this article<\/b><\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n There are no changes made to the licensing model of BI Connector for connecting to OAS data sources.<\/p>\n Your existing licenses of BI Connector<\/b>, be it trial or subscription, will now connect to OAS also, apart from connecting to your OBIEE and OAC!<\/p>\n Now organizations can confidently move from OBIEE to OAC or OAS, as BI Connector will still help users to connect their preferred data visualization tool to all 3 data sources (OBIEE, OAC and OAS), using your existing licenses!<\/p>\nHow to configure your OAS DSNs?<\/h1>\n
