6 Security Considerations for Developers

Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics (OPLA) supports the extension of the standard product functionality only in the following two scenarios:

1. You can enable existing defined dimensions and measures without changing ETL Mapping. This requires changes only to the BI repository.

2. You can enable new user-defined dimensions and measures. This requires changes to both the ETL Mapping and the BI repository.

In both scenarios you must ensure that the preconfigured OPLA security model is updated to match your operational source system.

When you extend OPLA, you must ensure that your customizations and any new objects are valid and functional.
