OAC - Finally Up and Running

I had few hiccups while setting up my OAC instance. Learned a lot from these mistakes and would always recommend to read the document first and understand the pre-requisites before you get your OAC up and running

There are various blog posts that talk about how you can get started with OAC. The blogs that helped me to get started are Blog 1 (blog post at Rittman Mead and this post also has information about how to setup the https for your OAC instance) and Blog 2 (This particular blog helped me with the access rules that need to be enabled to get things to work)

Apart from these, the two things where I was stuck and probably would help others if you face the same issue

  • Even though I have created DBaaS and have started the service, my OAC still pop-up with the message that the pre-requisites are not met. All I did was to open up the ports (http, https, dbconsole, dblistener) and post that I was able to create the OAC instance. From your
From your Dashboard, do as shown in the below screenshot

Click on "Open Service Console" and perform the step as shown in the below screenshot


Click on "Access Rules" and ensure that all those marked are enabled as per the below screenshot

Once this is done, you should be able to launch the "Create Analytics Service"
  • While creating the OAC instance, remember to use the rest endpoint URL for storage directly copied from the accounts section. The format would be {REST endpoint URL}/{container}. I have named my container "beyondessbase". So, my storage container format would be {REST endpoint URL}/beyondessbase. Remember that the user id and password would be your cloud account.
You can get the REST endpoint of your storage container navigating as below
Click on the hamburger icon and click on "Dashboard". You would see all your created instances below



Click on "Open Service Console" and you would land to as below


Click on the "Accounts" and you would get the REST endpoint. This is the rest URL that you should use followed by the container. in my case, it's the {REST endpoint}/beyondessbase1. Though I have two containers, I was using beyondessbase1 for my OAC instance



I also had another issue of using http for my OAC instance which I don't like it. Becky has helped with a link to a post on how to fix that which can be found at the link blog post mentioned before as Blog 1

After all that is done. I am finally up and running with OAC. I will shut down the instances, for now, to use it tomorrow. Not sure what challenges I will encounter once I fire up my OAC instance tomorrow. Till then, Goodbye for now...

Remember to select the type of OAC that you would like to have. It can be Standard, Data Lake or Enterprise Edition



Happy Learning!!!

EPM Cloud Tips & Tricks - #1

The first EPM cloud product was released in 2014 and it's been six years till date. I was recently part of an FCCS implementation project. I know what you might be thinking. Coming from completely essbase and planning background and been working on it for almost 12 years and doing an FCCS project? Well, it turned out that way and it was a change for me too than being in my comfort zone and took it as a challenge.  I have been very busy for over the past one year and I didn't really had a chance or time to get back to my blogging and sharing my knowledge. The project finally went live and I am going to share my bit of learnings. Some of it you might alread know The first tip is going to be an easy one and those who have worked in FDMEE / Data Management in the cloud, you might already know it. But, this is very important when it comes to FCCS as zeroes are valid from Balance Sheet standpoint Data Management by default doesn't load zeroes. Below is a excerpt from the document...

OAC - New Interface

At ODTUG Kscope18 , Oracle has revealed new features and groundbreaking updates that are going to come in the next release in OAC. Have you ever wondered what it's going to be I was so excited that I kicked-off the promotional offer and fired up my OAC instance. But, I was surprised and felt sad after looking at the instance that is in public cloud and the instance that is going to come in the next release. Not sure if I am missing anything here which will enable me to access the newer interface / newer instance The new interface looks sleek and looks a lot better than the previous interface. I am using the instance as parts of Hands-On lab at ODTUG Kscope18. Not sure till when this environment will be available. I will update this blog and make it more comparitive with what is available right now in public cloud New JET UI. I don't know if that is the right way to call it but that's what it says when you fire up the OAC instance new interface Less clutter and wa...

OAC - Switch Classic to Modern - Trick

Back to back posts today. But, I am excited and wanted to share this cool hack....Not sure if anyone has figured it out.... I did a blogpost on OAC new / modern interface and few features that I really liked. You can find my blogpost here . A good friend (became friends at Kscope18) Vijay Kurian  posted in his blog at theunlockedcube  about the Essbase Cloud features Part I and Part II and he has shown how to switch from classic interface to modern interface For some reason it didn't work for me in the pormotional OAC instance that I was using. However, I was able to switch based on what I poseted in my previous blogpost In general If you want to switch from Classic to Modern, follow the below screenshot However, for some reason that didn't work for me and I didn't knew why What I did might sound pretty silly but now I have the whole new Modern Interface that i can use without having to rely on the Deep Dive environment that I was using earlier. (That's Ora...
