What is the best practice exposed data to BI from neo4j ? and If we are generating reports what is best practice to generate reports in Neo4j
Need your guidance on this
This page: Using PowerBI with Neo4j explains the setup of PowerBI - in essence you use the REST end point that Neo4j exposes and connect as a 'Web' connection in Power BI.
As to your second part of the question - that's your usage of PowerBI and isn't something that can really be answered here.

I am researching whether its possible to extract data from Power BI into another system via Rest API. Internet is full of articles explaining the data ingestion into power bi but not extraction. Anyone knows whether its possible to do the opposite/can point to some helpful articles, would be a great help.
In addition to using the XML/A endpoint, there's a REST API called ExecuteQueries, which you can call from any programming language, Power Automate, or try online.
There is a "connection string" in Power BI online settings that you can use to access dataset data. It can be helpful.
Here is quick example with python
please could someone tell me why some people do this after creating our data warehouse we create report (Repporting ) and Olap analysisenter image description here
my question why will we do olap analysis and we create repport what is the Beneficial of doing both of them , i think reporting is sufficient to help the client to analyse the data.But still some client ask for both .
I use Analysis services models as the source for all reporting. In your case you may have transactional reporting (large amounts of row-level data) which doesn't lend itself to the technology. Analysis services would be better suited to data which is likely to be aggregated.
Tabular models are a great way to present data to users for them to interact with as they can be designed in a way which makes them better for self-service data analytics.
I've also implemented the hybrid approach you mentioned. This can be useful if businesses have varying report requirements. For example dashbiarding could be done using power bi connected to the tabular model whereas transactional reporting such as large emailed spreadsheets could be run from the sql server (perhaps using ssrs or power bi paginated).
This question might not be well researched but I need to find out proper way to implement this solution before starting design.
Question is, Can we consume SSAS MDX query as datasource in Azure Data Factory Linked Service source?
Data factory cannot query SSAS with MDX or DAX, but maybe you can query the source of the SSAS, in a traditional BI architecture it would be a Data Warehouse or a SQL server. This is because SSAS models are meant to be consumed by reporting tools (Power BI, reporting services, etc) and not data integration tools, which serve very different processes.
Cheers!
The supported list of connectors for the Copy activity available as at today is available here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/copy-activity-overview#supported-data-stores-and-formats
It looks like SSAS MDX queries are not included at this point.
ADF v2 supports the running of SSIS packages within ADF pipelines so it may be possible via that route (untested).
Is there a good data integration tool available for SAP HANA which could accomplish the following :
Consuming data periodically (a user defined interval) from REST based web service (A simple URL containing XML)
Parsing the XML and extracting the data
Populating the associated table
I am aware that SQL Server Integration Service is one such tool available for Microsoft SQL Server, which does the above. Would like to know the equivalent in HANA. I did explore SAP Cloud Integration service and Business Object Data Services tool, but would like to have a first hand opinion on the same.
SAP HANA Smart Data Integration (SDI) is a standard product option that you can use for this. As it is a feature of SAP HANA, no additional server is required for this solution. This blog gives a good overview SAP SDI BLOG.
Data Services can of course also used for that, but would probably be the 'Ferrari for driving to the bakery'.
I need to write a data provider class to pull data from a sql database for use in a webpage that will display a bing map. Does anyone have a link they could provide with a tutorial on how to do this?
I have very little experience using a db to provide dynamic data for a web page so any help is appreciated. The Database is a sql Azure databse.
You need to research Data Access in .NET and ORM technologies for .NET. This question deals with similar concepts.
Simple Data Access Layer
Note: There is nothing "special" you need to do to apply the standard .NET data technologies to Azure SQL.
