Loading data into OAC-Essbase from legacy systems using REST apis

As promised in my previous blog, we will try to load the data from a legacy on-premise system to OAC-Essbase.
As we already discussed, not all legacy systems generate data which can be directly imported into Essbase and not all support JDBC. We may need to write a connector which understands both systems.  After moving to the OAC-Essbase this task will be even challenging as Essbase will stay in the cloud and legacy system may stay at on-premise.

Well, there is a good news! OAC-Essbase does have streaming REST apis to do exactly this.
