Reporting and Analytics

• Introducing the Business Intelligence (BI) API as a new cloud service—a RESTful API to access Oracle MICROS Simphony sales, operations, and kitchen data in real-time. The API lets customers and partners easily query their data in the cloud, in a secure and highly scalable way. See Business Intelligence API Guide for more information.

• The single System Administrator privilege has been split into the following sets of privileges:

  • Hierarchy Administrator

    This privilege replaces the System Administrator privilege available in previous versions of Reporting and Analytics. The Hierarchy Administrator can only assign data permissions, portlets, and privileges to which they have access. They can manage users in all levels of the organizational hierarchy.

  • Functional Administrators

    Functional Administrators can grant access to any portlet, privilege, and data permission to any role in the enterprise. Functional Administrators can only manage users in levels of the organizational hierarchy that they have access to.

  See Administrator Roles for more information.
