View Available Connections

A dataset uses one or more connections to data sources to access and supply data for analysis and visualization.

Your list of connections contains the connections that you built and the connections that you have permission to access and use. View the connections list to determine if the connections that you need to create datasets already exist. You can also use the connections list to access more information about a specific connection and decide if it can supply the data that you need to build a specific dataset, for example, the type of database it connects to and information about its data elements.

Note:

You can create datasets with multiple tables from most data sources. Exceptions include Oracle EPM Cloud, Oracle Essbase, or Google Analytics.

If you need to create a connection, see Create a Connection to a Data Source.

  1. In the Home Page, click Navigator and then click Data.
  2. Click the Connections tab to view your connections list.
