What is Oracle
Analytics Cloud?
What is Oracle Analytics Cloud?
Standard Edition (OACS)
• Data Visualization Cloud Service (DVCS)
• A fast, lightweight option to get smart, clear visualizations from a variety of sources without building a
complex data model
• Mobile friendly, comparable to Tableau in function
• Data Visualization Desktop for 50 Users
• A local version of DVCS, allowing you to utilize it offline if the data is stored locally
• Oracle Smartview
• An add in for Microsoft Word that allows you to connect to a variety of sources, including Oracle Essbase
• Oracle Essbase in the Cloud
• Analytics leveraging Multi Dimensional cubes to summarize metrics by a specific set of dimensions

Enterprise Edition (OACEE)


• Everything listed for Standard Edition
• Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS)
• Oracle Essbase Enterprise in the Cloud
• Day by Day
Debunking Some Myths About OAC
(And “The Cloud” in General)
Debunking Some Myths About OAC

Misconception: “I’m not ready to go to the


cloud because we leverage MSAD for
authentication and I don’t want to redo all of
our security to use Oracle Cloud accounts.”

Truth: OAC features the ability to


connect to external LDAP providers,
like MSAD, enabling users to login
to OAC using their existing network
credentials.
Debunking Some Myths About OAC

Misconception: “We can’t use OAC because


we just don’t have the bandwidth to move our
data warehouse to an Oracle Cloud DB and
rework all of our ETL and downstream
processes.”

Truth: Oracle supports configuring a


VPN connection between the OAC Cloud
Compute Server and your data center.
Therefore, OAC can deliver all of its
benefits while allowing you to leave your
data processes as is.
Debunking Some Myths About OAC

Misconception: “My data model is way too


complex to re-build and maintain within the
web data modeler included in OAC.”

Truth: OAC allows you to “Lift and Shift” your RPD


file to OAC and continue using the same models
and objects you are using today. OAC includes a
specific version of the BI Administration Tool used
to build and maintain (and, for those adventurous
types, even work in online mode with) the RPD file.
Who is best suited to
migrate from OBIEE
to OAC?
Who is best suited to migrate
from OBIEE to OAC?
• OAC delivers the ability to drop your existing RPD from on prem to the cloud
• (Or to build a new RPD file if starting in the Cloud)
• OAC provides operating system level access for administrators to configure options for
enterprise level implementations
• VPN options are supported by Oracle to allow your OAC instance to connect to on
premise applications
• Hybrid solutions are possible, breaking down the barriers between what we view as “on prem”
and “the cloud.”
Who is best suited to migrate from
OBIEE to OAC?
What is likely the biggest factor determining if OAC is a good strategic fit?

Finances
Additional Considerations & Differences
OAC has gained ground towards parity with OBIEE 12c since general release, but it is still missing the
following:
• Delivers
• Only basic scheduling is available in OAC today, setting analyses to run on certain days, to be
delivered via email, etc
• Still lacks robust scheduling found in OBIEE 12c (no Agents)
• Marketing Lists, Segments, etc
• KPIs & Scorecards
• BI Publisher
• (A fully operational BI Publisher Cloud was released in December 2017 and is available with
any OAC Enterprise Subscription)
What does it mean to
migrate to the cloud?
What does it mean to migrate to
the cloud?
For most enterprise implementations,
migrating to the cloud means creating a
hybrid cloud/on premise solution.
Cloud On Premise
• Analytics • LDAP
• Oracle Cloud DB • Real Time Data
• Planning, SCM, HCM, Sources
etc • Data Warehouse
Ok, I’m on board… What does it take?

Establish the Infrastructure Create your instances

• VPN Connections • Cloud Compute


• LDAP/Identity Providers • Cloud DB
• Cloud Storage
• Analytics
Methods of Migrating
OBIEE Content
Migrating from OBIEE 12c
Import Your Bar File

In OBIEE 12c, Oracle introduced the concept of the BAR file. This is part of a feature that
allows you to export the complete contents of your web catalog, security model (including
users, roles, and groups) and your RPD into a single file for each export/import.

OAC supports uploading this as a “Snapshot” to the environment to bring all of the exported
objects into OAC.
Migrating from OBIEE 11g
Users Migrating from OBIEE 11g have a slightly different path, but largely still consists of
export/importing objects.

In summary, an administrator will:

• Generate a migration script from OAC via a command line process


• Place the tool in the 11g environment
• Run the tool to capture the RPD, Web Catalog, and Users and Applications Roles from the 11g
implementation
• Place the resulting export file on the OAC server
• Run an import script that would deploy these objects into OAC
Migrating from OBIEE Final Steps
(12c or 11g)
Validate Your Objects and Data Sources

With the heavy lifting complete, you then will need to validate your objects have all migrated
as expected and all of the connections to data sources remain in tact (primarily a concern if
you are also migrating data to new sources).

You will also want to validate your users, roles, and groups are correct.
Summary

OAC is rapidly acquiring new


OAC is Oracle’s flagship BI Analyzing and planning your
features and functionality
product: new development migration may require as
that make it more viable
and enhancements will be much or more effort than
than ever for an enterprise
made to OAC before OBIEE the actual act of migrating
implementation
