Migration Scenarios Covered in this Guide
With Oracle Analytics Cloud on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Gen 2), you can deploy services with several different feature sets:
- Self-Service Analytics
- Enterprise Analytics
This Guide describes how to migrate content to services deployed with Enterprise Analytics.
Not Covered in this Guide
This Guide doesn’t describe how to migrate non-Oracle BI Enterprise Edition objects (such as associated databases, security configuration, and so on) or objects that Oracle Analytics Cloud doesn’t support (such as scorecards). You must migrate non-Oracle BI Enterprise Edition artifacts separately or re-create them on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Gen 2).
Migration to an earlier Oracle Analytics Cloud product on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Gen 1) or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic isn't covered in this Guide.
Important Considerations Before Migration
Most organizations see advantages and benefits when they move from Oracle BI Enterprise Edition to Oracle Analytics Cloud. However, you must carefully consider the scope and constraints of this migration path for your own organization.
Before you start, Oracle recommends that you:
- Compare the features in Oracle BI Enterprise Edition and Oracle
Analytics Cloud.
Read the topic Feature Availability and Comparison to compare the features in Oracle BI Enterprise Edition and Oracle Analytics Cloud, and appreciate any differences between them.
- Plan your cloud deployment.
Another important consideration is planning the size of your cloud deployment to suit your anticipated workloads. Read How many OCPUs do you think you’ll need?
- Test your cloud deployment.
Oracle highly recommends that you test Oracle Analytics Cloud with your anticipated workloads to ensure adequate performance. This is critical if you decide to keep the data that you want Oracle Analytics Cloud to access in your on-premise environment, rather than move it to Oracle Cloud.
