How to Perform ETL with On-Premises Data without Using Cloud Services in Power BI?

hi team ,

the data in on-premises databases such as SQL Server and Oracle.

We are not allowed to use any cloud services (like Power BI Service, Azure Data Factory, etc.).

How can i build a full ETL pipeline using only on-prem tools?
Which tools are best for extract, transform, and load in this environment?

To perform ETL with on-premises data without using any cloud services, use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to extract data from sources like SQL Server or Oracle, transform it within SSIS or using SQL scripts, and load it into a dedicated reporting database in SQL Server. Schedule these ETL jobs using SQL Server Agent to automate the process. For reporting, use Power BI Desktop (Report Server version) to connect to the transformed data and publish reports to Power BI Report Server. 


Thanks,
Bhavin
