Comparison of Capabilities between Analytics Cloud Associated with Fusion Data Intelligence and Standalone Analytics Cloud
As an Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence service administrator, you perform certain tasks differently in the Oracle Analytics Cloud instance associated with Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence than the standalone Oracle Analytics Cloud instance.
Service administrators have access to two console user interfaces, and administrative tasks span both the consoles. The Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence Console allows administrators to manage central tasks that are common to both users as well as the application. The Oracle Analytics Cloud Console allows administrators to configure features that are specific to analytics. An Oracle Analytics Cloud instance associated with Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence is directly connected to the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse instance and doesn't support connections to external systems. For example, connections to social media platforms aren't supported through an Oracle Analytics Cloud instance associated with an Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence instance. You can use the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence Console to define external connections and extensions to the repository file but you can't directly access the repository (rpd) file.
The following table outlines the tasks that you can and can't perform on the Oracle Analytics Cloud instance Console that's included with Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence. You must have the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence service administrator role to access the Console and perform administration tasks.
| Tasks | More Information |
|---|---|
| Maps | Define how users display their data on maps. See Manage Map Information for Analyses. |
| Extensions | Upload custom visualization types or custom data actions. See Manage Custom Plug-ins. |
| Social | Not available. External connections to social media platforms aren't allowed in Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence. |
| Search Index | Set up how content is indexed and crawled so users always find the latest information when they search. See Schedule Regular Content Crawls and Monitor Search Crawl Jobs. |
| Safe Domains | Don't change the default details. Authorize access to safe domains. See Register Safe Domains. |
| Users and Roles | Not available. Use the Security option on the Console in Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence to define users and roles. See Manage Users, Groups, Application Roles, and Data Access. |
| Snapshots | Not available. Use the Bundles option on the Console in Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence to manage snapshots. See Bundle Your Application Artifacts. |
| Semantic Model Connections | Don't change the default details. Additional database connections for the semantic model aren't supported through the Oracle Analytics Cloud Console. Only the connection to Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is supported. However, all direct connections from the visualization layer in the Oracle Analytics Cloud instance are supported. |
| Virus Scanner | Don't change the default details. Use the Virus Scanner option on the Console in Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence to connect to your virus scanning server. See Configure a Virus Scanner. |
| Session and Query Cache | See which users are signed in and troubleshoot report queries. This is also accessible from the Console in Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence. See Monitor Users and Activity Logs. |
| Issue SQL | Test and debug SQL queries. See Run Test SQL Queries. |
| Mail Server | Connect to your email server. See Set Up an Email Server to Deliver Reports. |
| Monitor Deliveries | Track deliveries sent by the email server. See Track the Reports You Distribute by Email or Through Agents. |
| System Settings | Not authorized. Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence doesn't allow configuration of advanced options for the associated Oracle Analytics Cloud instance. Oracle directly manages the Oracle Analytics Cloud system settings for each of the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence instances and tunes the instances to provide an optimized user experience. |
| Remote Data Connectivity | Register one or more Data Gateway agents for remote connectivity to visualization workbooks. See Configure and Register Data Gateway for Visualization. |
| Vanity URL | Not available. |
| Early access to Oracle Analytics Cloud updates | Not available. Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence manages platform updates. See About Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence Releases. |
