About Managing Data Connections
You can connect to a variety of data sources and remote applications to provide the background information for reports. You can blend the additional data from the various data sources with the ready-to-use datasets to enhance business analysis.
Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse can connect to other pre-validated data sources such as Oracle Object Storage, cloud applications such as Google Analytics, and on-premises applications such as Oracle E-Business Suite. You'll need to create a data connection type before you create a data connection using that type.
You can view the usage of capacity for custom data that is loaded into Oracle Fusion
Analytics Warehouse through the connectors in the Custom
Data Usage dashboard available in the Common folder. The dashboard shows data loaded
daily and monthly from each of the activated external data sources.
