About Scaling Resources

You can scale the resources provided by default with Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence based on your workload.

An activated Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscription enables a cloud account administrator and service administrator to create the following types of instances:
  • Development/Test
  • Additional test (ATE)
  • Production
The development/test and ATE instances typically have smaller capacity compared to the production instance. These instances are different in the following ways:
  • The development instance and ATE are for testing with a subset of data such as last 1 year as opposed to the full history and a subset of concurrent business users.
  • The development instance is to develop or test reports and customizations before deploying them in the production instance for business users.
  • The production instance is for production level business needs such as all historical data and all business users.
  • The production instance has higher resources and therefore higher performance.
  • Oracle monitors the production instances to ensure satisfactory level of service for the predefined content.
Prior to scaling these instances, note the following:
  • You'll incur additional usage charges if you scale up compute and storage resources.
  • You can scale up resources on your own using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console if you’ve an UCC subscription for PAYGO.
  • You can't scale down below the provisioned capacity.
  • You might need to scale up the Oracle Analytics Cloud instance associated with your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence instance in scenarios such as these:
    • Extensive semantic model extensions.
    • Extensive custom reports.
    • Use of large custom data sets.
    • Merge of external applications into the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence semantic model.
    • Sluggish report performance due to many concurrent users.
  • You can monitor the Oracle Analytics Cloud instance associated with your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence instance using the Metrics option. See Monitor Metrics.
  • You might need to scale up the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse instance associated with your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence instance in scenarios such as these:
    • Extensive use of data warehouse tools such as Oracle Machine Learning (OML) and Application Express (APEX).
    • Custom data that exceeds 50 GB.
    • Extensive custom queries.
    • Use of custom apps or tools against the database.
    • Many concurrent users running reports.
  • You can monitor the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse instance associated with your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence instance using the Performance Hub and Metrics Explorer options. See Monitor and Manage Database Performance andMonitor Metrics.
  • You can scale up the development/test instance and ATE in scenarios such as these:
    • Testing customizations before deploying them to the production instance.
    • Stress-testing that requires temporarily scaling up the instance.
    • Bringing additional volumes of data into the development/test instance and ATE.
Scale the resources as follows:
