Create a Connection to Your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Tenancy
Create a connection to your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) tenancy so that you can integrate Oracle Analytics with OCI functions, OCI Vision, OCI Data Science, or OCI Language. For example, you might register a language conversion function hosted in OCI so that you can convert English text into Spanish or German using an Oracle Analytics data flow.
You can connect to an OCI tenancy using an API key or a resource principal.
- Using an API key enables you to connect to OCI without having to log into Oracle Analytics as a user with BI Service Administrator privileges. However, you need to know the OCID details for the tenancy you're connecting to, and you have to generate a Public API key to register in OCI. To use this method, start with Step 1.
- Using a resource principal enables an OCI administrator to provision the Oracle Analytics to have the permissions on the OCI services without having to generate a Public API key to register in OCI. However, because the Resource Principal connection has administrator-level permissions, to select this option you must be logged into Oracle Analytics as a user with BI Service Administrator privileges. To use this method, start with Step 2.
