P6ETL® for BI Reporting is a software utility that extracts P6 data or Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC) data from a hosted environment, such as Oracle Hosting and Loadspring, and stores the data into an on-premise P6ETL® SQL Server database. Once the data is in the P6ETL® Database, users can create BI reports using a variety of report development tools such as Microsoft Power BI and Tableau. The P6ETL® Database is a reporting database that mimics the Oracle P6 Reporting Database created by the publishing step in P6 EPPM. However, P6ETL® extracts the data using Web Services therefore P6ETL® is not dependent on Oracle's P6 Reporting Database nor the publishing step in P6 EPPM.
Below are 2 diagrams with typical configurations.
Here are a couple Power BI dashboards created from the P6ETL® Database:
