Verify the Update Cycle (Instances Created Before the November 2024 Update)
As part of the November update, Oracle assigns existing Oracle Analytics Cloud instances to an update cycle (Early or Regular). Before January 1st 2025, you must review and verify that the update cycle Oracle assigns to your instance is suitable for your environment. The update cycle you select is permanent and takes effect from the January 2025 update onwards.
On January 1st 2025, Oracle locks the update cycle for all Oracle Analytics Cloud instances you created before the November 2024 update. After January 1st 2025, you can't switch from the early rollout cycle to the regular rollout cycle (or the other way around) as the update cycle that you select is permanent and you can't change it. If your needs change after January 1st 2025, you must create a new service instance with the desired update cycle and migrate your content to the new service.
| Update Cycle | Description |
|---|---|
|
Early |
Oracle delivers updates as soon as they're available. If you manage multiple Oracle Analytics Cloud environments, early access gives you the flexibility to explore new features and stagger updates between environments. |
|
Regular |
(Default) Oracle delivers updates a few weeks after completing the early update cycle. If you manage multiple Oracle Analytics Cloud environments on the regular update cycle, Oracle will share the actual date of software updates for each environment in your software update notification. |
You must have full administrator permissions to change the update cycle for your instance.
If you have several Oracle Analytics Cloud instances you must verify each one.
