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

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?
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.
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.
