1 Introduction

This document describes feature of the BI-Data-Service. The BI Data Service provides various data as output.

3 Accessing the Data

You can access the data with any tool which supports access to the SQL server database. For that you need the server location, the username and the password. These information will be generated while running through the on-boarding process and provided by the R2D2-Team (and later by the Cloud Operations Team).

For example if you want to access the data within Power BI, you can use the DirectQuery.
