Which option describes how OBIEE natively integrates with HFM?

A.
Through EPM Analytic Data Model (ADM) connectivity

B.
Direct relational database access

C.
Through Essbase connectivity

D.
OBIEE does not support HFM integration

Explanation:
BI EE uses the ADM driver to extract the data from HFM.
Note: HFM (Hyperion Financial Management)
Example:
I EE connects to HFM through JavaHost. So, the setup for configuring the connectivity is to
basically make the EPM environment variables available for access to BI EE. Before making the
changes, there are a couple of things to be aware of
1. Ensure that DCOM is enabled on the BI Server machine. This is needed for HFM client to
work/connect properly with HFM Server.
2. Ensure that HFM Client is installed.
The above assumes EPM 11.1.2.x version. If you are on Hyperion 9.3.3, then you need to have
the ADM drivers installed manually. All of this is documented clearly. So, rather than re-iterating
that i will just point to the link here. Ensure that you follow all the steps mentioned in the docs else
you will have issues in the connectivity. Once all the pre-requisite steps are done, we start off with
the metadata import process.

OBIEE connect HFM Planning through ADM driver as well;
OBIEE connect essbase through essbase 7+ , can do the connection through ADM driver as well?
