FAQ

BI Connector connects directly to OTBI analyses, BI Publisher data models, Query Vault, and base tables, then automates extraction, scheduling, and refresh into Power BI. Most other approaches rely on brittle BICC extracts, manual CSV exports, custom ETL pipelines, or costly platforms like OAC, so teams end up rebuilding what they’ve already built in Oracle Fusion elsewhere.

BI Connector acts as a Power BI Connector for Oracle Fusion, which extracts data through OTBI analyses, BI Publisher data models, Fusion Query Vault, custom Fusion SQL, and base tables, then delivers it to Power BI through automated, scheduled refreshes via Power BI Gateway.

No. BI Connector uses Oracle-supported extraction methods and scheduled processing to minimize the impact on your Oracle Fusion production environment while delivering reliable, analytics-ready data for Power BI.

Yes. BI Connector lets you reuse your existing BI Publisher reports, data models, and custom SQL queries. This helps you preserve existing reporting investments while accelerating Power BI implementation.

BI Connector supports OTBI analyses, BI Publisher data models, Fusion Query Vault, custom Fusion SQL, and base tables, allowing teams to choose the most appropriate Oracle reporting assets for their analytics needs.

The Oracle Fusion Query Vault is a library of ready-to-use SQL queries for common Oracle Fusion reporting and data requirements that can be used as data sources in BI Connector. It includes queries across areas such as Finance, HCM, and SCM that can be used as a starting point for reporting, customized for specific requirements, and run through BI Connector to access Fusion data.

Yes. BI Connector supports scheduled and incremental data refreshes, making it suitable for enterprise-scale reporting across Finance, HR, Supply Chain, Procurement, Projects, and other Oracle Fusion modules.

No. While this solution focuses on Power BI, BI Connector also delivers Oracle Fusion data to Tableau, Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory, Snowflake, Databricks, Azure SQL, and other analytics platforms using the same extraction framework.

Yes, BI Connector also automates data extraction and refresh into a centralized data warehouse or lakehouse such as Microsoft Fabric, Azure SQL, Snowflake, or Databricks, allowing Power BI to report from a governed, enterprise-wide data foundation instead of connecting directly to Oracle Fusion.

BI Connector works alongside FDI. It enables organizations to use Oracle Fusion and FDI data in Power BI, extending existing data models and business logic with Power BI’s visualization, self-service analytics, and AI capabilities without rebuilding their analytics foundation.
