About Connecting to an Oracle Essbase Data Source

This topic provides information about connecting to an Oracle Essbase data source for use in your semantic model.

What is the System Connection Requirement?

Data source connections with the System connection checkbox selected are available for semantic model development. By default, these connections are displayed in a semantic model's Connections pane.

If you create an Essbase data source connection from the Oracle Analytics home page's create Connection option, be sure to select the System connection checkbox to make the connection available when you develop semantic models. You can't edit the data source's System connection option after setting up the connection.

See About Semantic Model Data Source Connections.
