Is it possible to create a data set using REST API as a data source in oracle fusion cloud?

Prakash B Roy

Please suggest solutions to set up an REST API as a data source for a data model in Oracle Fusion. instead of sql query as a data set we need to pull data from rest api data.

This community is dedicated to OAC/OAS BIP-related queries. From your description, it seems you might be seeking guidance on Oracle Fusion or the OTBI tool. Could you please confirm? Thanks!

Hi @Sumanth V -Oracle ,

Our requirement related to BIP only, we need to make data set using rest API instead of SOAP.

Also, are you able to check the ER status or any ETA on the ER?
