Why CData for Oracle HCM Cloud Power BI Connectivity

Break free from data loading limitations and on-premises restrictions of Oracle HCM Cloud reporting in Power BI. Easily connect Microsoft Power BI with live Oracle HCM Cloud data for up-to-date visual analysis and reporting.



High-performance Oracle HCM Cloud Connectivity

Large datasets often slow down reports and dashboards in Power BI due to its in-memory model. However, CData's Power BI Connector for Oracle HCM Cloud overcomes these challenges with advanced query optimization and Direct Query support. By leveraging Direct Query, you can avoid loading your entire Oracle HCM Cloud dataset into local memory and instead benefit from efficient server-side processing.

Power BI Pro imposes a 1GB dataset size limit, and even Premium workspaces have constraints on query performance. The CData Power BI Connector supports Direct Query, reducing the amount of data retrieved when analyzing Oracle HCM Cloud data. Instead of loading the entire Oracle HCM Cloud dataset, only the necessary subset of query results is returned for your reports, optimizing performance and efficiency.

Oracle HCM Cloud data discovery

Comprehensive Oracle HCM Cloud data and metadata discovery

The Oracle HCM Cloud Connector provides full access to both data and metadata, enabling efficient automated data exploration and discovery. It features intelligent row scanning, type detection, relationship mapping, and support for unstructured data. These capabilities allow Power BI to recognize data fields without the need for casting or conversion, making it easier and faster for users to create meaningful reports.

Certain data sources, such as Oracle HCM Cloud and other NoSQL databases, lack native support for SQL-like queries, often requiring data transformation before use in Power BI. CData simplifies this process with a built-in SQL transformation layer that automatically translates SQL queries into real-time data source calls. This enables seamless Oracle HCM Cloud integration, making it as straightforward as connecting to a traditional relational database.


Live Oracle HCM Cloud reporting. No ETL Required

CData's live Power BI connectivity for Oracle HCM Cloud overcomes the challenges associated with traditional integration methods like ETL and local data replication. Unlike data replication, live querying enhances security and compliance by eliminating risks such as data staleness, inconsistency, and corruption. It also reduces exposure from overprivileged access and delayed revocation while minimizing the attack surface created by duplicate copies. Additionally, live connectivity simplifies regulatory compliance by ensuring better adherence to data residency, retention policies, and auditability requirements.

Oracle HCM Cloud Power BI Connector supports the use from Power BI Gateway. Power BI on-premises gateway allows publish and auto-refresh the data set in your Power BI Desktop to Power BI cloud and other Microsoft Power Platform services such as Power Apps and Power Automate.

Sometimes setting up Power BI Gateway is not an option. IT departments often resist installing the Power BI on-premises gateway due to security concerns over data access and credential storage. They may also be reluctant because of the added maintenance burden and potential network vulnerabilities.

CData Connect Cloud transforms Oracle HCM Cloud data connectivity by removing the need for a local gateway. This enables Power BI service users to refresh data seamlessly within Power BI, ensuring they always work with the latest Oracle HCM Cloud data. While it doesn't yet support Direct Query mode, CData Connect Cloud is the ideal choice for deploying auto-refreshing Power BI reports in the cloud.
