Ok so stumbling at the first hurdle here, and hoping some of you might be able to help… I am trying to connect to an on prem oracle database. I am currently connected to the network via a vpn and am able to log in to the oracle client. My next step was to connect Power BI desktop to it and start looking at the data but can’t get this to work. I’m wondering whether this is an old 32 bit server or something. My ultimate goal here is to use a copy activity in a fabric pipeline to ingest the data into my lake house. Has anyone got any tips? This is my first time working with an oracle database and it’s very clunky to say the least.

An interesting post from Johannes Kebeck (Group Program Manager - Azure Maps at Microsoft) on LinkedIn: " So many things you can do with Microsoft Fabric and Azure Maps: - From Event Stream over Event House into Real Time Dashboard to track your assets, - Reflex to send alerts when assets enter or leave a geofence, - Lakehouse Notebook and Azure Maps to determine speeding and perform other post-drive analysis. - ...or risk analysis with Lakehouse, Notebook and Azure Maps published into PowerBI for broader consumption. " Read more about Azure Maps. Is this something you're interested in/ implementing? Let me know your experiences! I can see this being a really useful use case for Fabric, for companies with a geospatial element

Has anyone achieved this outside of the connector which seems to be only available in power bi desktop. I want to configure a copy activity to pull data into my lake house about current work items etc.

I feel like this should be easier than it seems. I’m trying to build an api call in a fabric pipeline. I have a lake house with a delta table that has a column of ID fields. Id like to iterate over each one and use the value to build an api call (one api call for each value). I’m struggling with outputting the value to the next activity, I’m trying mssparkutils and lookup activity but I can’t seem to get it. Any ideas?
