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.

Prerequisites for Migration

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

  • The source and target environment must both use Oracle Analytics Cloud 5.1.x or later. Snapshots taken from earlier versions don't capture the entire environment.

    If you're not sure, ask your Oracle representative.

  • 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.
Mail server configuration Record the SMTP mail server configuration used in your source environment and use the information to configure your mail server on the target. See Set Up a Mail Server to Deliver Reports.
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.

Users (and groups)

Migrate from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) Identity Domain

Use export and import features in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console to migrate users and roles from one identity domain to another. See Transferring Data in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.

Migrate from Oracle Identity Cloud Service

Use export and import features in Oracle Identity Cloud Service Console to migrate users and roles from one identity domain to another. See Manage Oracle Identity Cloud Service Users and Manage Oracle Identity Cloud Service Groups.

Migrate from Embedded WebLogic LDAP Server

Use the script wls_ldap_csv_exporter to export users and groups to a CSV file that you can import on the target Oracle Identity Cloud Service. See Export Users and Groups from Embedded WebLogic LDAP Server.

Identity management configuration

Use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console in your target environment to reconfigure any user (or group) application role assignments that you configured on the source, reconfigure single sign-on (SSO), and so on.

Network configuration Set up your network requirements in the target environment, as required.
