Overview of Business Intelligence Cloud Connector
You can use Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Connector (BICC) to extract business intelligence and other data in bulk and load it into designated external storage areas.
BICC is available as part of the Oracle Applications Cloud subscription. Additional access provisioning is required and you must sign into BICC to perform all tasks related to the data extraction. Details about access provisioning are provided in the Provision Access section.
-
Configure an external storage location that works for your data needs.
-
Extract complete or partial data. You can select offerings or specific objects.
-
Run extracts on-demand or schedule them to run at specified intervals during the day, in a week, or throughout the month.
-
Run incremental extracts if you need only the data that changed since your last extract.
-
Schedule multiple independent extracts at convenient intervals.
-
Monitor extracts and review logs.
-
Export configured offerings and associated data stores.
-
Manage refresh metadata and specify dates for incremental refresh comparison.
This chapter introduces you to BICC and covers some of the basic tasks required to set up BICC. The subsequent chapters cover details about configuring and running the extracts, and managing the extraction process thereafter.
