MicroStrategy ONE

Import Data from a BI Tool

You can import reports and queries from SAP Business Objects Universe (BO), Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE), and IBM Cognos Framework Manager directly into MicroStrategy Workstation. This allows you to explore your existing data and data model with MicroStrategy's intuitive visualizations.

To connect to a BI tool and import data

  1. First, define a connection to a database. While you are importing data from a BI tool, you can choose to create a new database connection or use an existing connection.
  2. Make an SAP BO, Oracle, or IBM Cognos report or query available as a web service and obtain the URL for your data import query.

  3. Import the data.
