      This URL is the Service REST Endpoint for the DataSync API of your Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service instance. Most often, this REST Endpoint is the URL for your Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service instance without any values after the .com extension.
      For example, if your Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service instance is at http://service-domain.analytics.us2.oraclecloud.com:443, then the corresponding DataSync API REST Endpoint for your service is http://service-domain.analytics.us2.oraclecloud.com.

5. Optionally, click Test to verify that you entered the correct data, and that the connection to the service works.
   A confirmation message appears.
6. Click Save.
   The Catalog page appears.

The Catalog now shows the target that you created. Use this target to publish your enhanced or repaired data sets and analyze them using the tools available in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service.

When you publish your data, Oracle Big Data Preparation Cloud Service creates a table in the repository of your Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service instance. From this table, you must create fact tables and dimension tables containing columns that store the data of your data model. You can then use Visual Analyzer to create and analyze your data.
