Update an existing Oracle Business Intelligence account to Oracle Analytics

If you are upgrading from an existing Oracle Business Intelligence account for Oracle Empirica Topics, you need to update the account.

Before you begin

Evaluate which scenario matches your current setup:

• Simple or no customizations: You use only the default reports, or you have customized reports but have not modified the RPD.
• Advanced customizations: You have modified the RPD and reports, and possibly the database schema.

Simple or no customizations

This chapter applies only to simple or no customizations. If your environment includes customizations in the data model or schema, contact Oracle Consulting for assistance in reapplying them to the default model.

• Back up existing OBIEE topics reports
  If you are upgrading from an existing Oracle Business Intelligence account prior to Oracle Empirica Topics 2026.2.01 and have existing custom reports to preserve, back up your reports using the following procedure.
• Update the Topic workflow configuration for GVP Module IX
  Ensure the Topic Workflow configuration is updated to meet requirements before proceeding with the OAS database update.
• Update the Oracle Analytics database account for Oracle Empirica Topics
  You can upgrade Oracle Empirica Topics from version 2025.4.x or a version earlier than 2025.4.01.
• Recreate additional reporting Topic Workflow configurations
  If your analytics environment contains multiple Topic Workflow configurations, you must recreate the additional configurations in both the data model (RPD) and the catalog.
