About Connecting to Private Sources

In Oracle Analytics Cloud, you configure access to private data sources in two stages.

• Stage 1) In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, you set up a private access channel and register the data sources or Git repositories that require private access using their DNS domain name or SCAN host name and port.

  When you set up (or edit) a private access channel you alter the configuration of your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance. Some users might experience a temporary disruption in service during the configuration process so Oracle recommends that you plan private access channel configuration on critical instances accordingly.

• Stage 2) In Oracle Analytics Cloud, you connect to the data source and analyze the data in the usual way. In Semantic Modeler, you must create an SSH or HTTPS connection to access the Git repository.
