Create Datasets from Oracle Eloqua Reporting in Domo Workbench and Build Visualizations of Oracle Eloqua Reporting Data in Domo

Domo helps you manage, analyze, and share data across your entire organization, enabling decision makers to identify and act on strategic opportunities. Domo Workbench provides a secure, client-side solution for uploading your on-premise data to Domo. The CData ODBC Driver for Oracle Eloqua Reporting links Domo Workbench to operational Oracle Eloqua Reporting data. You can build datasets from Oracle Eloqua Reporting data using standard SQL queries in Workbench and then create real-time visualizations of Oracle Eloqua Reporting data in the Domo service.

The CData ODBC Drivers offer unmatched performance for interacting with live Oracle Eloqua Reporting data in Domo due to optimized data processing built into the driver. When you issue complex SQL queries from Domo to Oracle Eloqua Reporting, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Oracle Eloqua Reporting and utilizes the embedded SQL Engine to process unsupported operations (often SQL functions and JOIN operations) client-side. With built-in dynamic metadata querying, you can visualize and analyze Oracle Eloqua Reporting data using native Domo data types.

Connect to Oracle Eloqua Reporting 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.

Oracle Eloqua Reporting supports the following authentication methods:

• Basic authentication (User and Password)
• OAuth 2.0 code grant flow
• OAuth 2.0 password grant flow

Basic Authentication (User and Password)

To perform authentication with a user and password, specify these properties:

• AuthScheme: Basic.
• Company: The company name associated with your Oracle Eloqua Reporting account.
• User: Your login account name.
• Password: Your login password.

OAuth Authentication (Code Grant Flow)

To authenticate with the OAuth code grant flow, you must set AuthScheme to OAuth and create a custom OAuth application. For information about how to create a custom OAuth application, see the Help documentation.

Then set the following properties:

• InitiateOAuth: GETANDREFRESH. Used to automatically get and refresh the OAuthAccessToken.
• OAuthClientId: The client Id assigned when you registered your application.
• OAuthClientSecret: The client secret that was assigned when you registered your application.
• CallbackURL: The redirect URI that was defined when you registered your application.

When you connect, the driver opens Oracle Eloqua Reporting's OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. When the access token expires, the driver refreshes it automatically.

OAuth Authentication (Password Grant Flow)

With the OAuth password grant flow, you can use your OAuth application's credentials alongside your user credentials to authenticate without the need to grant permission manually via a browser prompt. You must create an OAuth app (see the Help documentation) to use this authentication method.

Set the following properties:

• AuthScheme: OAuthPassword
• Company: The company's unique identifier.
• User: Your login account name.
• Password: Your login password.
• OAuthClientId: The client Id assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.
• OAuthClientSecret: The client secret assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.

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.

After creating a DSN, you will need to create a dataset for Oracle Eloqua Reporting in Domo Workbench using the Oracle Eloqua Reporting DSN and build a visualization in the Domo service based on the dataset.

Build a Dataset for Oracle Eloqua Reporting Data

You can follow the steps below to build a dataset based on a table in Oracle Eloqua Reporting in Domo Workbench using the CData ODBC Driver for Oracle Eloqua Reporting.

1. Open Domo Workbench and, if you have not already, add your Domo service server to Workbench. In the Accounts submenu, click Add New, type in the server address (i.e., domain.domo.com) and click through the wizard to authenticate.
2. In the DataSet Jobs submenu, click Add New.
3. Name the dataset job (i.e., ODBC Oracle Eloqua Reporting ), select ODBC Connection Provider as the transport method, and click through the wizard.
4. In the newly created DataSet Job, navigate to Source and click to configure the settings.
5. Select System DSN for the Connection Type.
6. Select the previously configured DSN (CData OracleEloquaReporting Sys) for the System DSN.
7. Click to validate the configuration.
8. Below the settings, set the Query to a SQL query:

   SELECT * FROM 

   NOTE: By connecting to Oracle Eloqua Reporting data using an ODBC driver, you simply need to know SQL in order to get your data, circumventing the need to know Oracle Eloqua Reporting-specific APIs or protocols.
9. Click preview.
10. Check over the generated schema, add any transformations, then save and run the dataset job.

With the dataset job run, the dataset will be accessible from the Domo service, allowing you to build visualizations, reports, and more based on Oracle Eloqua Reporting data.

Create Data Visualizations

With the DataSet Job saved and run in Domo Workbench, we are ready to build visualizations of the Oracle Eloqua Reporting data in the Domo service.

1. Navigate to the Data Center.
2. In the data warehouse, select the ODBC data source and drill down to our new dataset.
3. With the dataset selected, choose to create a visualization.
4. In the new card:
   • Drag a Dimension to the X Value.
   • Drag a Measure to the Y Value.
   • Choose a Visualization.
   

With the CData ODBC Driver for Oracle Eloqua Reporting, you can build custom datasets based on Oracle Eloqua Reporting data using only SQL in Domo Workbench and then build and share visualizations and reports through the Domo service.
