BIApps and Tableau integration
Has anyone done a successful integration with Tableau for BIApps?
What are the experiences and how does data security work?
Have you tried to leverage the BIApps warehouse (SSO setup with EBS) for integrating with Tableau.

Here's what Tableau themselves say about it: http://kb.tableau.com/articles/knowledgebase/tableau-and-obiee
Risk: users can circumvent the enterprise model and create their own version of the truth + the connection to the BI server isn't really optimized and much of the functionality you purchased with apps may not be present.

I'm not very familiar with the packaged BI Apps, but I believe they operate off Essbase/cubes. Another consideration is that Tableau doesn't integrate very well with cubes..it can't package the data into an extract, and has to work from the server directly. This introduces additional performance and security concerns.

BI Apps is pre-built ETL/ELT, DW schema, metadata and catalog content.
You are correct on performance and security considerations - it's an additional layer to be managed. Is the VALUE worth the risk and cost to manage?
