    Hi aahuja 

    Your application has connected to your oracle database, and you want to get data from your application. 

    Here I have some advice:

    1. You can make sure whether your application support Rest API, you can try to get data from Rest API in PBI Desktop.

    For Reference: Using a REST API as a data source

    2. You can connect to oracle database directly in PBI Desktop.

    For Reference: Connect to an Oracle database with Power BI Desktop
