Technical Solutions Extract data from Fusion Application using BI Publisher in OCI DI January 5, 2022 | 11 minute read e Rohit Saha Senior Product Manager Welcome back! We recently released a connector for extracting data from Fusion Application using BI Publisher connector in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OC!) Data Integration. Today, we're learning about the scheduling feature in OC! Data Integration. In this blog, we will learn how to create a Bl Publisher report and then extract data from Oracle Fusion Application using a BI Publisher connector in OCI Data Integration service. We will first look at how to create a BIP report in Fusion Application and then create a data flow in OCI Data Integration to extract data from Fusion Application. Before we go ahead and create a BIP report, we need to understand that users of OCI Data Integration, can extract data from pre canned BIP reports and to ensure that the Fusion servers are not impacted due to the extraction of high volume data using BIP reports, users have to ensure that in the SQL query they specify two clauses: OFFSET FETCH NEXT These properties are used for chunking (pagination) by OCI Data Integration service. The user has to specify the parameter used for offset and fetch next x rows while configuring the source operator. Why do we need chunking? When the number of records or the data volume is huge, extract requests might time out. Chunking/Pagination is a common mechanism to protect against such failures. The request is divided into smaller chunks so that extract requests do not fail, while at the same time complete data can be extracted from the source system. In BIP reports, the OFFSET and FETCH NEXT clauses are used to achieve the same The key components of a BIP report are: Data Model Report (Layout) Output format Before you get started, ensure that you have the required permissions to proceed. Create Data Model Once you have logged in to Oracle BIP, click on Catalog to view the folders: ORACLE: Sraisertnnie aa : None =a Figure 1 In this example, | have created a folder, Demo BIP Reports, for saving my work. You will start by creating the data model by going to New Data Model, as shown below: ORACLE: aration se == q a eee Rag eee 7 bn ° entre Figure 2 You will be taken to the Create Data Model page; here click on the “+” icon and select SQL query to specify data source and SQL query.
