Hi @M12 ,
Prerequisites:
A development machine with Power BI Desktop Latest version, SQL Server Data Tools and Oracle Data Access Component (ODAC) (Both 32 bit and 64 bit) installed, connectivity to an Oracle database 11g or higher, a computer with SQL Server 2017 Analysis Services (Tabular Mode), latest version of Power BI Report Server and ODAC installed. (32 bit version of ODAC is required for Visual studio\ SQL Server Data Tools, and 64 bit version is required for Power BI.)
Once ODAC 32 bit and 64 bit versions are installed, please add "tnsnames.ora" files in the \product\<version>\....\Network\Admin folders which got created as part of ODAC installations.
Add a TNS entry similar as follows in the tnsnames.ora files to connect to the oracle database:
<TNS name>=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=<IP address of the oracle server>)
(PORT=<Port Number>)
)
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=<Oracle database service name>)
)
)
We may have multiple entries as the above for each Oracle database we would like to connect.
Next, configure Power BI Report Server. Locate "Microsoft Power BI Report Server" -> "Report Server Configuration Manager" from start menu to launch the report server configuration tool.
