How to pipe Oracle Financials Cloud Data to CSV in PowerShell

The CData Cmdlets Module for Oracle Financials Cloud is a standard PowerShell module offering straightforward integration with Oracle Financials Cloud. Below, you will find examples of using our OracleERP Cmdlets with native PowerShell cmdlets.

Creating a Connection to Your Oracle Financials Cloud Data

Using Basic Authentication

You must set the following to authenticate to Oracle ERP:

• Url: The Url of the account to connect to. Typically, the URL of your Oracle Cloud service. For example, https://servername.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com.
• User: The username of your account.
• Password: The password of your account.

$conn = Connect-OracleERP -Url "$Url" -User "$User" -Password "$Password"

Selecting Data

Follow the steps below to retrieve data from the Invoices table and pipe the result into to a CSV file:

Select-OracleERP -Connection $conn -Table Invoices | Select -Property * -ExcludeProperty Connection,Table,Columns | Export-Csv -Path c:\myInvoicesData.csv -NoTypeInformation

You will notice that we piped the results from Select-OracleERP into a Select-Object cmdlet and excluded some properties before piping them into an Export-Csv cmdlet. We do this because the CData Cmdlets append Connection, Table, and Columns information onto each "row" in the result set, and we do not necessarily want that information in our CSV file.

The Connection, Table, and Columns are appended to the results in order to facilitate piping results from one of the CData Cmdlets directly into another one.
