Connection between PLM ( product lifecycle management ) Tool with Power bi

[Suthakar06]

I Want to make the connection between Aras (product lifecycle management TOOL ) and Power Bi Reports.

- Basically, I have created power bi reports. So by connecting the data from Aras to power Bi, reports should change accordingly.

HI @Suthakar06,

AFAIK, current power bi does not include this type of data connector. So it means you may need to use the web connector with its rest API to get data to design reports.

ok.  what is your question?  What have you tried and where are you stuck?

Basically, aras has a database,
1) so we need to connect needed tables from aras database to power bi for making dashboards.
2) Once we create our reports, we need to embed them into Aras environment.

Quick note

- we need to connect our data soures driectly with power bi 
- get back the reports into the aras everoment.

Hi @Suthakar06,

#1, You can refer to the above links, they include a sample to get data based on web connector and rest api authorizations. (for this type of data source, they do not require a gateway to refresh)

Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

#2. I'd like to suggest you take a look at the below document of power bi embedded features: (that document also contains tutorials and samples to help you learn to use power bi embedded)
