Import a Workbook File

You can import workbook files (.dva file) that are exported from Oracle Analytics Cloud, Oracle Analytics Desktop, and Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite.

If the workbook file was exported with a password, Oracle Analytics asks for that password when you import the file.

The import includes the data used with the workbook file.

Note:

You can import a workbook file exported from the same version (or earlier version) as your Oracle Analytics environment. For example, if you exported a workbook from an Oracle Analytics environment that includes the May 2022 update, then you can import it into other Oracle Analytics environments that include the May 2022 update or a later update (such as July 2022).

However, you might experience unexpected results if you import a workbook that was exported from a more recent update of Oracle Analytics. For example, if you export a workbook from an Oracle Analytics environment that includes the September 2022 update, then Oracle doesn’t recommend that you import this workbook into an Oracle Analytics environment that includes an earlier update, such as June 2022.

1. On the Home page, click the Page Menu icon, and then select Import Workbook/Flow.
2. In the Import Workbook/Flow dialog, click Select File, and then click Import.

   After the import is successful, open the workbook. See Edit a Data Source Connection.
