Create an Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence Standalone Instance

Create a service instance to manage your cloud resources.

Prior to creating the instance, you may want to view the service limits of Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and Oracle Analytics Cloud using the Limits, Quotas and Usage page in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. See Viewing Your Service Limits, Quotas and Usage. If you're unable to create the instance with an error due to inadequate capacity, then you can either get in touch with the administrator for the tenancy or submit a request to increase your service limits from the Limits, Quotas, and Usage page in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. See Requesting a Service Limit Increase.

If you're planning to access your instance from a virtual cloud network only, then prior to creating an instance with private network access, you must ensure that the prerequisites are in place. See Deploy Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence with a Private Endpoint.

The recommended practice is to create the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence instance in your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications domain. If you choose to create the instance in a non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications domain, then you must set up the synchronization between the domains. See Configure Single Sign-on Between Two Identity Domains.

You can create an instance with a single subscription ID. However, you can’t split a subscription across instances.

  1. Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
  2. In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, click the Navigation menu icon.
  3. In the Navigation menu, click Analytics & AI.
  4. Under Analytics & AI, click Data Intelligence.Description of fawag_oci_faw.png follows

  5. On the Instances page, in Compartment, select a compartment if you want to place the service instance in a compartment other than the default root compartment that Oracle created for you.

    Note:

    Ensure that you have created a compartment before you select it here. See Managing Compartments.
  6. On the Instances page, click Create Instance.

    Note:

    If you haven't purchased a subscription, then the Create Instance button isn't active.

  7. In the Wait! Are you following the recommended approach? dialog, click Continue.

  8. On the Create Instance page, enter a Display Name for the service using alphanumeric and special characters.
  9. Enter a Name for the instance that's unique in your tenancy using only alphanumeric characters without spaces or reuse the name of a deleted instance.
  10. Optional: Enter a Description for the service using up to 255 alphanumeric and special characters.
  11. In Notification Email, enter a valid email address if the field doesn't have a value.
    Follow the steps in Enter Details for an Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence Standalone Instance to provide further information regarding the instance.

Enter Details for an Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence Subscription Instance

After specifying basic details for your instance such as compartment, name, and description, verify your subscriptions and provide details such as whether it's a test or production instance, connection details of your source data, and email to receive notifications regarding your instance.

These details ensure that you have an instance that meets your business requirements. Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence automatically displays your subscription details in the Offerings section. If you’ve activated multiple subscriptions in your tenancy, then you see details of all the subscriptions. On selecting a subscription, you see the single or multiple offerings within the subscription based on what you subscribed for. For example, if you've subscribed for Oracle Fusion ERP Analytics, Oracle Fusion HCM Analytics, and an additional test environment in a single subscription number such as "1820598", then you see those details on selecting the subscription "1820598".

If you plan to use JWT based authentication, you can opt to use the private key and public certificate files stored in a vault. Ensure that you’ve created a vault, stored the private key and public certificate files in it, and add the following policy in your tenancy for reading the JWT key from your vault:
allow any-user to read secret-bundles in tenancy where all {request.principal.type in ('fawservice', 'fawextsvc','fawcontentservice')}
See Vault.
  1. On the Create Instance page, under Offerings, select Development/Test in Intended Use as your first instance.
  2. In Select a subscription, select the subscription that you want to use to create the instance and verify the subscription details to ensure that the displayed subscriptions match your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence order.
  3. In Fusion Application Connection, provide the URL of your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications instance.
  4. In Authentication, select the type of authentication you want to use: JWT Based (recommended) or Password Based.
    • If you choose JWT Based (JSON web token), provide the private key and public certificate files by either uploading, or copying and pasting, or by reading from your vault. Select Keys have been uploaded to Fusion Source to enable Test Connection.

      Note:

      See Configure JWT Authentication Provider. While configuring the token-based authentication, ensure that you enter FAWServiceJWTIssuer as the trusted issuer.

      Ensure that the generated RSA encryption private key contains at least 2048 characters and that you wait at least 15 minutes for the uploaded public certificate to become effective in your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications instance.

    • If you choose Password Based, then enter the credentials of an applicable user, such as MyFAWExtractUser from your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications instance. Prior to entering the user credentials, ensure that the applicable user is created in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. See Create a User in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications to Extract Data.
  5. Click Test Connection to check the connection to the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications instance and confirm whether the credentials are valid.
  6. In Autonomous Data Warehouse Credentials, provide an administrator password for the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse that's provisioned in your tenancy to store the transformed data.
  7. In Network Access:
  8. Click Create Instance.
Oracle sends an email to the designated email address when your service is ready. You can display the Activity page to check the current status. When the status changes from CREATING to ACTIVE, the service is ready to use.

Navigate to the Details page for the new service to access the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence URL and associated Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse. From here, you can also view or modify details such as the password for your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications instance and the administrator password for the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse. You can also delete the service instance that's no longer required.

If you had set up provisioning of Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence with single sign-on, then your service is associated with the federated Oracle Identity Cloud Service instance. If you hadn’t set up single sign-on for Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence, then your service is associated with the default Oracle Identity Cloud Service instance that you received with your Oracle Cloud account.

After you create an instance, for at least one hour you see the message that system initialization is in progress. During this period, Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence runs an initialization process that involves extraction of setup data from the source Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications system. You must wait for the system initialization process to complete before creating data pipelines for the functional areas.
