Has anyone successfully used OData to connect SharePoint with Oracle Analytics?

If OData isn’t supported or practical, what other recommended or supported approaches have you used to integrate SharePoint data with Oracle Analytics?

    Odata is supported or certified with OAC. Please refer the below notes and it has all the details needed for establishing the connectivity. Kindly validate the version of Odata.

    additionally

    Oracle Analytics reintroduced the OData connector in the September 2024 update to support the OData v4.0 protocol. However, you should be aware of several restrictions that may affect a SharePoint integration:

    Data Type Limitations: OAC only supports a specific set of OData data types, including Edm.String, Edm.Int16/32/64, Edm.Double, Edm.Decimal, Edm.Date, and Edm.DateTimeOffset.
    Unsupported Elements: The connector does not support complex types, Enums, or OData v4 Actions and Functions.
    Server Limits: If your SharePoint/OData server uses a custom $top limit that causes query failures when exceeded, OAC may be unable to load the tables.

    an alternatives is to use REST API Connector
