  • There isn't a MS Project native connector in OBIEE.

    If MS Project has an ODBC driver, setup the connection (depends on the OS your OBIEE is installed on) and inside the RPD you will be able to use that connection. Of course OBIEE expect that ODBC driver to speak a standard query language, so as long as the driver can reply to SELECT queries you will get something.

    But out of the box there isn't anything and even with an ODBC connection OBIEE will have no knowledge about your MS Project: it will be a totally anonymous random ODBC source.

    There does appear to be an ODBC driver that can hook up to MS Project as @Gianni Ceresa mentioned earlier - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CDATASOFTWARE.MSProjectODBCDriver
