6 Perform Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence Implementation Activities

Perform these activities to successfully implement Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence.

Activate Your Subscription

One of your first steps is to activate your Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence subscription into the Oracle Cloud account where you have Universal Credits (UCC). For details and instructions, see Activate Your Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence Subscription in the administration guide.

Create an Instance

As an Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence cloud account administrator and service administrator, typically, you create an Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence instance with public IP addresses. Optionally, you can create a Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence instance with private IP addresses. You may also plan for additional test environments.

For details and instructions, see Create an Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence Instance. An overview of this task is provided below.

Public Environment

By default, Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence is a public service deployed in the Oracle Services Network with public IP addresses.

Private Environment

This instance is deployed in a virtual cloud network with private IP addresses in your Oracle Energy and Water cloud account.

For both types of instances, you need the following information:
  • The environment type, for example, development or test.
  • The environment name and URL.
  • The JWT (JSON web token) certificate that was uploaded and the associated private key. The recommended authentication type is JWT token-based with security certificate and private key renewal; see Using JWT Token with Fusion Analytics.
  • The identity stripe or domain name used for the environment.
  • The compartment name.
  • The region name.
  • An Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse password.
  • An email address for provisioning and any future updates.
To create the Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence instance with private IP addresses, you need these details in addition to the details required for a public instance:
  • The compartment hosting the virtual cloud network.
  • The compartment hosting the private subnet.
  • The compartment hosting the network security group.
  • The virtual cloud network name.
  • The private subnet name.
  • The network security group name.

Create the production instance along with the development and additional test instances simultaneously.

Configure

Configuring Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence after it has been provisioned includes the following:

  • An Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence service administrator deploys the Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence bundle and configures data pipelines and security assignments.
  • An Oracle Cloud Infrastructure administrator configures network access to the services.

See Configure Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence Data in the Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence Administration Guide.

Customize

You can customize Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence to satisfy business requirements and increase reporting capabilities. See Customize Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence in the Oracle Energy and Water Data Intelligence Administration Guide for detailed guidance.

Oracle recommends following a phased implementation approach and performing customizations after two ready-to-use content rollouts. Performing customizations before signing off on the first two ready-to-use content phases adds unnecessary risks to an implementation project. You must perform customization activities in an environment that you consider the master development environment.

You can extend to modify and create reporting content, data content, semantic model content, and security assignments. These types don't necessarily depend on each other, aren't necessarily sequential, and may not all apply to the business requirements.
