Create an Oracle Utilities Data Intelligence Instance

As an administrator, you can create instances for Oracle Utilities Data Intelligence to enable your users to start using it.

About Creating an Instance

Use the Create Instance page in Oracle Utilities Data Intelligence directly without specifying the data source. When you do this, you can:

  • Decide which compartment to use.
  • Select the Oracle Utilities Application source instance of your choice.
  • Set up the identity provider of your choice.
  • Analyze data from sources other than Oracle Utilities Applications, such as Fusion Data Intelligence, without initially specifying an Oracle Utilities Applications URL.
  • Bring data from third-party products even if you don’t have any Oracle Utilities Applications product.
  • Bring data from a non-Oracle Utilities Applications source and anOracle Utilities Applications source in the same instance. You must provide Oracle Utilities Applications details prior to loading data from Oracle Utilities Applications.
  • Terminate the instance from the instance details page in Oracle Utilities Data Intelligence.

After the instance is created, you must complete these tasks:

After the instance is created, as an administrator, assign the FAW Service Administrator group to the applicable users to manage the instances in the tenancy. If your tenancy uses identity domains, see the Adding Users to Groups section in Using the Console. To add this group to an existing user in Oracle Identity Cloud Service, see Assign Groups to the User Account. To sign into the instance, a user must have any of the groups mentioned in System Groups assigned to them.

Create an Oracle Utilities Data Intelligence Subscription 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 service request through My Oracle Support to describing the issue.

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 Utilities Data Intelligence with a Private Endpoint.

  1. Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console . If you've provisioned Oracle Utilities Data Intelligence with single sign-on, then sign in using the federated Oracle Identity Cloud Service.
  2. Click the Navigation menu icon.
  3. In the navigation options, click Analytics & AI. Under Analytics, click Data Intelligence.
  4. 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.

  5. On the Instances page, click Create Instance.

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

  6. On the Create Instance page, enter a Display Name, Name, Description, and an email to receive notifications about the instance in Notification Email.
  7. Under Offerings, verify that the displayed subscriptions match your Oracle Utilities Data Intelligence order and select Development/Test as your first instance.


    This image shows the Offerings section of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, which lists the available Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence services that a user can view.

  8. In Fusion Application Connection, deselect the Set up Fusion Connection check box.
  9. In Autonomous Data Warehouse Credentials, provide the password for the OAX_USER user who can access the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse that's provisioned in your tenancy to store the transformed data. To reset the password for this user, see Reset the Password for OAX_USER Schema.
  10. In Network Access, do the following:
  11. 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 Utilities Data Intelligence URL and the associated Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and Oracle Analytics Cloud instances.

Because you haven't yet set up a connection to an Oracle Utilities Data Intelligence source, Oracle Utilities Data Intelligence displays a message on the Data Configuration page asking you to set up a data source connection as an initial step. See Create a Connection to Your Source Applications.

If you had set up provisioning of Oracle Utilities 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 Utilities Data Intelligence, then your service is associated with the default Oracle Identity Cloud Service instance that you received with your Oracle Cloud account.
