These files may be analyzed by the customer BI tool of choice (such as Microsoft PowerBI or Tableau).

Information note

An example is provided in $MM_HOME/conf/Template/analytics/demo/demo.pbix for PowerBI.

Information note

If the installation folder is not C:/MetaIntegration, you may update the RootAnalyticsFolder parameter in the PowerBI example from inside the PowerBI tool.

Example

With a Microsoft PowerBI client installed on the application server, open the .PBIX file and PowerBI will be started up with the pre-defined analytics reports already available.

Information note

Always use the Home > Refresh option in PowerBI after you perform Export analytics.

In this case, the installation folder is C:/MM/ and thus the data is at C:/MM/data/files/MM/analytics.

Go to Home > Transforms > Edit parameters
