Can I connect to Essbase?

A previous comment mentioned that Alteryx does not have an MDX interface and therefore no Essbase connectivity. However, this was in Feb 2012. Has this been enabled since?

 

Thanks,


Laura

Hi @Laura_dup_188,

 

Unfortunately Essbase is not a supported data source that Alteryx can connect to. Here is a list of our fully supported database options that Alteryx can connect to. This would be a great add to our community's ideas page to request added support for Essbase. 

 

It also looks like Essbase has an API (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_apiref/frameset.htm?launch.htm) so you may be able to build your own connector for Essbase. Here is a knowledge base article on creating your own connectors: Guide to creating your own connector series

Essbase connectivity is now available in Alteryx with the ExoInsight Essbase Connector!

 

Casabase Software has partnered with Alteryx to enable direct access to your Essbase data and hierarchies from within Alteryx. You can now connect to all your BSO, ASO, and even Essbase Cloud cubes with only a few clicks.

Please contact us for a demo of the ExoInsight Essbase Connector for Alteryx!
