Hi all,

Currently, my company uses OBIEE as the tool for dahsboards & reports and with more convenient use of reporting , the decision is to move to Tableau. I would like to understand the following use cases:

  1. Would like to use ODI as the ETL tool and remove OBIEE completely and connect to Tableau for visualization. Is this good approach?
  2. How will the security from RPD admin tool be moved to Tableau?
  3. There are currently reports and dashboards existing in OBIEE can the catalogs be exported to Tableau?

Thanks

Sharon

    Sorry if that's not what you expect, but shouldn't you be asking those questions to the guys in your company who took the decision? Or maybe to Tableau...

    OBIEE/OAS and Tableau aren't the same tool (or why would they both exists), and this is the OBIEE forum for people asking about OBIEE/OAS, not Tableau.

    HI,

    My question was misunderstood. The question was meant to understand the OBIEE artifacts that can be taken over if Users/business wants to choose another visualization tool.

    Ask Tableau or the people who took the decision to change.

    Clearly the other solution is so endlessly better that they will automagically do everything you expect.

    OBIEE is not a visualization tool, OBIEE is an analytical platform. If you trash it and move to Tableau, you should ask the people who decided or Tableau about how you can do the same job.

    If you trash OBIEE, there is nothing from OBIEE that can be taken over as you trashed it. OBIEE does things in the OBIEE way, Tableau does things in the Tableau way (or doesn't do things): they don't work in the same way, they don't speak the same language.

    Maybe somebody in your company should have considered OAS/OAC/OAD first, but if you trash OBIEE for Tableau you should ask them how you are supposed to do the job that OBIEE was doing.

    And for the ODI part: just as OBIEE doesn't care if you use ODI or something else or nothing as ETL, Tableau also isn't going to care. Both tools aren't ETL (ok, OAS/OAC/OAD could become lightweight ETLs, but that's another topic), they need data. How you move your data around isn't their problem.
