Getting Started With Oracle Analytics Cloud

Oracle Analytics Cloud is Oracle's cloud-based platform for data analytics and visualization. Using it, you can analyze data, build interactive dashboards, perform advanced analytics, and share insights, all securely and at enterprise scale. OAC connects easily with various data sources and supports both self-service and guided analytics. Resource Analytics has created sample OAC dashboards that use your Resource Analytics data and help with visualization.

To use Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) with Resource Analytics:

  • Select OAC at point of install and OAC is deployed for you along with the sample dashboards. To install OAC at instance creation time, check the appropriate box on the creation form and carefully select the required options. OAC is provisioned and sample dashboards are loaded for you to review, as part of your Resource Analytics instance creation. For more information, see Creating an Instance.

  • If, however, you don't install OAC at time of Resource Analytics instance creation, you can install it later from within the Resource Analytics Console. To provision an OAC instance that's linked to your Resource Analytics data and contain sample dashboards for your use, go to the Instance Details tab for the instance you want to add OAC to and select Provision OAC. For more information, see Updating an Instance.

A configuration screen appears with a few configuration options. The default setting is public endpoint for OAC, which means the OAC is accessible through the internet. It's possible to select a private endpoint option and configure a private network scenario if required. On completion of the form, OAC is provisioned. The instance details page displays the details of the OAC instance.
