The Oracle SCM ODBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with live data from Oracle SCM, directly from any applications that support ODBC connectivity.

Access Oracle SCM data like you would a database - read, write, and update Oracle SCM 0, etc. through a standard ODBC Driver interface.

Create a star schema that shows perspectives on Oracle SCM facts in real time.

The CData ODBC Driver for Oracle SCM is a standard database driver that can integrate real-time access to Oracle SCM data into your data warehouse or directly into your reporting tool. This article shows how to bypass the data warehouse and import operational Oracle SCM data into Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE).

See the knowledge base for ODBC integrations with ETL tools like Informatica PowerCenter. For an ETL solution into Oracle Warehouse Builder, use the driver with the Oracle ODBC Gateway to Access Oracle SCM Data as a Remote Oracle Database.

Connect to Oracle SCM 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.

The following connection properties are required to connect to Oracle SCM data.

  • Url: The URL of the account that you want to connect to. Typically, this will be the URL of your Oracle Cloud service. For example, https://servername.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com.
  • User: The username of your Oracle Cloud service account.
  • Password: The password of your Oracle Cloud service 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 SCM Metadata

Follow the steps below to use the OBIEE Client Tools to import Oracle SCM metadata into an OBIEE repository. You can then integrate Oracle SCM data into your business models.

  1. Open the Administration Tool and click File -> New Repository.

  2. In the Connection Type menu, select ODBC 3.5 and select the CData DSN.
  3. Select the metadata types you want to import under the Relational Sources option and then select Oracle SCM tables.
You can now create star schemas based on Oracle SCM tables:
