You can use the CData ODBC Driver to integrate Oracle Financials Cloud data into the statistical analysis tools available in SAS JMP. This article shows how to use Oracle Financials Cloud data in the Graph Builder and Query Builder.

You can use the CData ODBC Driver for Oracle Financials Cloud to integrate live data into your statistical analysis with SAS JMP. The driver proxies your queries directly to the Oracle Financials Cloud API, ensuring that your analysis reflects any changes to the data. The CData ODBC Driver supports the standard SQL used by JMP in the background as you design reports.

This article shows how to access Oracle Financials Cloud data into a report and create data visualization. It also shows how to use SQL to query Oracle Financials Cloud data from the JMP Query Builder.

Access Oracle Financials Cloud Data as an ODBC Data Source

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

Using Basic Authentication

You must set the following to authenticate to Oracle ERP:

  • Url: The Url of the account to connect to. Typically, the URL of your Oracle Cloud service. For example, https://servername.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com.
  • User: The username of your account.
  • Password: The password of your account.

When you configure the DSN, you may also want to set the Max Rows connection property. This will limit the number of rows returned, which is especially helpful for improving performance when designing reports and visualizations.

Import Oracle Financials Cloud Data with the Query Builder

After you have created the Oracle Financials Cloud DSN, you can use SQL to invoke the capabilities of the Oracle Financials Cloud API. Follow the steps below to execute some supported queries in the Query Builder:

  1. In SAS JMP, click File -> Database -> Query Builder. The Select Database Connection dialog is displayed.
  2. Click New Connection.
  3. On the Machine Data Source tab, select the DSN. In the next step, the Select Tables for Query dialog is displayed.
  4. In the Available Tables section, select a table and click Primary.
  5. As you drag Available Columns to the Included Columns tab, the underlying SQL query is updated.
  6. Click Run Query to display the data.
  7. To refresh the results with the current data, right-click Update from Database and click Run Script.

Visualize Oracle Financials Cloud Data

After importing, you can use the Graph Builder to create graphs visually. To open the Graph Builder, click the Graph Builder button in the toolbar.

  1. Drag a dimension column onto the x axis. For example, InvoiceId.
  2. Drag a measure column onto the y axis. For example, Amount.
  3. Select a chart type. For example, a bar chart.
