Why you should build your own solution with OWOX BI Transformation:

Getting started requirements

  • You are using the Google Cloud Platform and have an active project (how to set up GCP).
  • The data you will work with is stored in Google BigQuery.
  • You have access to this data as BigQuery Admin or BigQuery Data Owner in order to share access to the OWOX BI service account (how to share access).
  • OWOX BI Transformation is available in your plan. If you don't see the Transformation in the OWOX BI interface, write to your OWOX manager (bi@owox.com).

Transformations and Operations

In the OWOX BI interface, you can create Transformations and Operations (inside of Transformation).

A Transformation is a set of one or more Operations grouped by common logic. You can run a Transformation manually or set up triggers for autoruns. Running a Transformation executes the Operation code in the order you specify.

An Operation is a SQL code snippet saved in the editor. This SQL code executes with the Google BigQuery API when the Transformation runs. The query result will be saved to a new or existing table in Google BigQuery. Read more in the article Create and run transformations.
