Create an Oracle Applications Connection

You can create a connection to Oracle Applications and use the connection to access your data. For example, you can connect to Oracle Fusion Applications with Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence or Oracle BI Enterprise Edition.

1. On the Data page or Home page, click Create, then click Connection.
2. Click the Oracle Applications icon.
3. Enter the connection details.
4. For URL, enter the URL for Oracle Fusion Applications with Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence or Oracle BI EE.

   Note:

   Don’t try to enter the URL of an analysis that is connected to Oracle Applications. If you want to visualize the data used in an analysis, you can create a dataset based on the analysis (local subject area). See Create a Dataset from a Subject Area in Your Instance.
5. Under Authentication, specify how you'd like to authenticate the connection:
   • Always use these credentials - Oracle Analytics always uses the login name and password you provide for the connection. Users aren’t prompted to log in.
   • Require users to enter their own credentials - Oracle Analytics prompts users to enter their own user name and password for the data source. Users can only access the data for which they have the permissions, privileges, and role assignments.
   • (Displayed if Oracle Analytics supports impersonation for this database type) Use the active user’s credentials - Oracle Analytics doesn't prompt users to sign in to access the data. The same credentials they used to sign in to Oracle Analytics are also used to access this data source.
6. Save the details.

   You can now create datasets from the connection.

The connection is visible only to you (the creator), but you can create and share datasets for it.
