Typical Workflow to Set Up a Private Access Channel

If you want to set up a private access channel for an Oracle Analytics Cloud instance for the first time, follow these tasks as a guide.

Task	Description	More Information
Understand prerequisites for a private access channel	Make a list of the private data sources (DNS zones and SCAN host names) that you want Oracle Analytics Cloud to access through the private access channel and ensure you have the required permissions to set up the private access channel in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.	Prerequisites for a Private Access Channel
Create an Oracle Analytics Cloud instance	Deploy Oracle Analytics Cloud with Enterprise Edition.	Create a Service
Configure a private access channel	Use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console to configure a private access channel and list any data sources that Oracle Analytics Cloud must connect to privately (DNS zones and SCAN host names). Optionally, restrict outgoing traffic (egress) on the private access channel using one or more network security groups.	Configure a Private Access Channel
Create connections to private data sources	Use Oracle Analytics Cloud to create a connection to the private data source. The way you create the connection depends on how you want to use the data source, that is, whether you want to build a visualization, analysis, pixel-perfect report, or semantic model.	Connect to Data for Visualizations and Analyses Manage Database Connections for Semantic Models Connect to Data for Pixel-Perfect Reports
Manage the data sources available through a private access channel	Add, edit, or delete the private data sources that Oracle Analytics Cloud can access through the private access channel. Use the DNS zone or SCAN host name to identify your private data sources.	Manage the Private Data Sources You Can Access on a Private Access Channel using the Console Edit a Private Access Channel using the REST API Edit a Private Access Channel using the Command Line
Edit network details for a private access channel	Change the VCN or subnet on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that Oracle Analytics Cloud uses to access private data sources. Optionally, restrict traffic over the private access channel using network security groups.	Edit Network Details for a Private Access Channel using the Console Edit a Private Access Channel using the REST API Edit a Private Access Channel using the Command Line
Delete a private access channel	Delete a private access channel that you configured for Oracle Analytics Cloud but don't need anymore.	Delete a Private Access Channel
