Power BI Desktop - BI Connector does not show up in Get Data list

[APOSTOL]

Dear all, 

I am trying to connect to an OBIEE instance via Power BI and I've seen that an easy and quick way to do that is bi installing BI Connector. I have successfully installed it, activated the trial license and managed to configure (and connect to) an OBIEE datasource. 

I have even managed to connect to OBIEE via Tableau + BI Connector.

However I experience the following issue: the BI Connector driver simply does not appear in the list of Data Sources (Get Data) in Power BI Desktop. I cannot find any info on this issue online. Any ideas will be very helpful.

Thanks!

Hi @APOSTOL

Did you download BI Connector from Free Trial page?  If yes, that version does not yet support Power BI to OBIEE integration.  

The Power BI to OBIEE connector is available via Beta program.  Please refer to this BI Connector support article to request the Power BI to OBIEE connector.  

Thanks!
