About Oracle Analytics Cloud Migration

It's easy to migrate content and settings from one Oracle Analytics Cloud environment to another using snapshots. You can migrate everything or you can migrate specific types of content.

Before You Migrate Oracle Analytics Cloud

Before you migrate user content using snapshots, verify your source and target environment:

  • The source environment must have the same (or earlier) update applied as the target environment. You might experience unexpected results if you try to restore from a snapshot that was taken from a more recent update of Oracle Analytics Cloud.

  • If you haven't done so already, create the target service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

    See Create a Service with Oracle Analytics Cloud in Administering Oracle Analytics Cloud on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Gen 2).

  • If you want to migrate file-based data, check the source and target environments are up and running, and configured with valid storage credentials.

    Storage access issues can prevent data file migration using snapshots. If this happens, you can use the Data Migration utility to download your data files and then upload them separately.

Items Not Migrated

Some Oracle Analytics Cloud artifacts aren’t included in snapshots. Non-Oracle Analytics Cloud artifacts aren't included either.

Items Not Migrated More Information
Virus scanner configuration Record the virus scanner configuration used in your source environment and use the same information to configure your virus scanner on the target. See Configure a Virus Scanner.

Other saved snapshots in the source environment

If required, download individual snapshots that you want to migrate, and then upload them to the target. See Import Snapshots.
