Essbase Cloud - REST API

REST API is not something new in Oracle EPM world when it was nunvieled and what runs behind most of the Oracle EPM product portfolio and that is the direction what Oracle says and probably you should hear it and start looking in to it When OAC was released in March 2017 and when I took a look at it three months later, I always wondered if there were REST API's that powers EssCli and I was right. Oracle at Sunday Symposium did mention that and showed a demo of how the REST API's can be used for dynamic data loading and I was thrilled. I was even thrilled when my good friend Vijay Kurian gave a session on Essbase REST API. You can download his presentation once it is available for everyone from ODTUG . Being a presenter and attendee, we get early access to the presentations and I feel so much previleged about it If you want to get started right away and want to go and look at the documentation, it's not available yet. This is where it becomes difficult to know what al...

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...

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 - 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...
