Connect to a Semantic Model in the Cloud

You must enter connection details for Oracle Analytics Cloud before you open, publish, or upload a semantic model to Oracle Analytics Cloud using Model Administration Tool.

Note:

You can't use your single sign-on credentials to connect to Oracle Analytics Cloud from Model Administration Tool, you must use Oracle Cloud identity management user credentials. See Prerequisites.
  1. Open Model Administration Tool.

    Go to your Windows Start menu, click Oracle Analytics Client Tools, and then select Model Administration Tool.

  2. In Model Administration Tool, select how you want to connect to Oracle Analytics Cloud.

    For example, click File, then Cloud, then either Open, Publish, or Upload.

  3. Enter connection information for Oracle Analytics Cloud.
    1. In User, specify a user in the Oracle Cloud identity management system associated with Oracle Analytics Cloud who has administrator permissions in Oracle Analytics Cloud (that is, a user with the BIServiceAdministrator application role).

      If your Oracle Analytics Cloud federates with an external identity management system, you probably sign in to Oracle Analytics Cloud with your single sign-on credentials. You can't use your single sign-on credentials to connect to Oracle Analytics Cloud from Model Administration Tool, you must use Oracle Cloud identity management user credentials. See Prerequisites.

    2. In Password, enter the password for the specified User.
    3. In Cloud, enter bootstrap.
    4. In Host name, enter your Oracle Analytics Cloud URL, excluding https:// and /ui/dv.

      For example, if your Oracle Analytics Cloud URL is https://oac123456-oacppacm12345.uscom-central-1.oraclecloud.com/ui/dv, enter oac123456-oacppacm12345.uscom-central-1.oraclecloud.com.

      You can obtain the Oracle Analytics Cloud URL from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. Navigate to your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance, and then copy the value in the URL field. For earlier Oracle Analytics Cloud products, click Manage this instance, and copy the link address for Oracle Analytics Cloud URL.
    5. In Port Number, enter 443.
    6. Select SSL.

      For Trust Store, click Browse, and select the default JDK key store that's bundled with JRE:

      <OAC client home>\oracle_common\jdk\jre\lib\security\cacerts

      For Password, specify the passphrase for the trust store (JKS) that contains the CA certificate that you trust and has been used to sign the Oracle Analytics Cloud certificate. The Oracle Analytics Cloud certificate is signed by a well-known CA, so you can use a regular Java cacerts (the default JKS trust store that trusts well-known CAs).

    7. If you deployed Model Administration Tool on a machine in a proxy-enabled network, select Proxy.

      Ask your network administrator for the proxy server URL and Port number.

Expect the initial connection to take between 3–15 minutes, depending on the size of your semantic model.
