BI connector solves three \u00a0major problems for organizations using Tableau – OBIEE:<\/p>\n
BI connector solves the above problems by providing direct integration from Tableau to OBIEE metadata in Subject Area and Reports. It saves time for users and IT, reduces human errors, and maximizes the value of your Tableau and OBIEE investment.<\/p>\n
We are happy to announce the availability of BI connector v2.2. \u00a0It is packed with features and bug fixes focusing on ease of use, security, and extensibility.<\/p>\n
The following new features are available in BI connector v2.2<\/p>\n
