On the darker side, it\u2019s also become one that\u2019s induced patchy self-made programs which can not only be defeasible, but potentially <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/us.norton.com\/yoursecurityresource\/detail.jsp?aid=freewarerisks\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dangerous to both your machine and your information<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Potentially, we\u2019re talking about muddling your other software, taking control of your computer, or even compromising your personal data to expose you to possible identity theft. And when the subject of your company\u2019s valuable OBIEE data is on the cards, you don\u2019t really want to be taking any of those risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating your own scripts to import OBIEE data might give you a little more programming leeway, but there\u2019s no guarantee that your data is totally secure. If you are using homespun SQL, importing data from a physical model in OBIEE to Tableau can be awkward and time-consuming. More importantly, at the end of it, your precious business logic might not be reused or exposed properly, since SQL <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/msdn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/ee808086(v=azure.10).aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">requires continuous maintenance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and development to keep pace with schema changes. Hence, real-time access to OBIEE won\u2019t become as readily available as with a brand-built thoroughly tested system, since the transfer flow between data and intelligence will most likely be stagnated at some point in the process due to those issues. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, it\u2019s possible to implement row level data to enable specific access to designated users, but setting up those levels can also be a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.biconnector.com\/blog\/are-you-wasting-time-transferring-data-from-obiee-to-tableau\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">long-winded process<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. At any rate, row level security requires each user to carry a database account; but the more accounts that exist, the bigger potential for hacker exploitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Opting For a Product With Promise<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, if you choose to utilize a product like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/biconnector.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BI Connector<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> over custom SQL creation, those safety concerns are practically omitted. BI Connector operates by automatically connecting securely to the OBIEE presentation layer, so queries from Tableau are immediately translated and optimized using your OBIEE server. Instead of worrying about maintenance issues materializing as you\u2019re pulling data in from OBIEE with a custom SQL, BI Connector\u2019s data transactions carry implicit self-maintenance; meaning you can just focus on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.biconnector.com\/blog\/connect-from-tableau-to-obiee-reports-catalog\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preparing report catalogs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Tableau.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using an OBIEE username and password, you\u2019re able to access the same <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.biconnector.com\/blog\/7-best-practices-to-become-tableau-ninja-for-obiee\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">security model<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which has a powerful BI server and rich safeguarding features, so you can be sure that data is protected from any unauthorized access.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because BI connector\u2019s server edition is specifically designed for unvarying streams from Tableau servers to OBIEE, data publication also carries enhanced security; meaning that you eradicate any breaching risks when importing and exporting Excel reports and SQL data access. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Looking to start transferring OBIEE data safely?
