Connect to On-premises Data Sources Over a Private Access Channel

A private access channel enables a direct connection between Oracle Analytics Cloud and your private data sources.

Private access channels enable you to connect to private data source hosts. You can't use a private access channel to access any other type of private host. For example, you can't use private access channels to access private hosts that represent FTP servers, SMTP servers, printers , MapViewer configuration, or any other type of private host you might you use.

You use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console to set up a private access channel for Oracle Analytics Cloud and configure access to your on-premises data sources. See Connect to Private Data Sources Through a Private Access Channel and Top FAQs for Private Data Sources in Administering Oracle Analytics Cloud on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Gen 2).
