New annual release of OAS 2024 - what will and won't be included from OAC ?

Michal Zima

I have a question/wish directed to Analytics Product Management:

New annual release of OAS 2024 is (I guess) slowly knocking on the door. And it would be very good for us, on-premise customers to know a little bit in advance what new features launched in OAC during year period will be included and what features (from whatever reason) will not be included into new release of OAS 2024 . This will really help us to "tame expections" from our business users, who are constantly asking questions like: "When we will have export to Excel in DV" or "Will it be possible to schedule DV workbooks and sending via email" etc.....

Thanks in advance for being open and sharing those information with us. It will avoid unwanted surprises when OAS 2024 will be launched.

In general the scope of features that we plan for OAS 2024 is inclusive of what has been made available between the OAC Mar 2023 update through the OAC Jan 2024 update. There may be a few features with cloud-based dependencies that do not make it to OAS. And yes, we do plan to have Semantic Modeler included in OAS 2024.

Hi Michal! Lots of good news coming your way re: OAS, but I will defer to @Alan Lee - Oracle-Oracle to connect with you on specifics.

Once it's out, of course, you'll be able to see the list in the What's New section for OAS in the Help Center, which might help with your business users. I'll also leave it to Alan to comment on whether we're planning a webcast to cover the update - regardless, if it helps to get your team together to talk through the release, we can help arrange something. Best, Emily

@Emily Cikovsky-Oracle Hi Emily, thanks for you answer, looking forward to have response from @Alan Lee - Oracle-Oracle or @Gabby Rubin-Oracle . What's new document (you are mentioning) is fine, but it is published just when new OAS released is out. This is a too late for us. I really want to avoid not pleasant surprises ,finding what is missing in OAS (but is in OAC) as it happened last year for example. Thanks for understanding.

I would also like to know what is available in OAS 2024 prior to it's release. My specific interest is in the related to the Multiuser Development process as we are just beginning to use this functionality. Is the MUD process different in OAS 2024?

Depends if you want to change it...

MUD for the RPD will still be the same and work the same for a few years. But if OAS 2024 comes with the new Semantic Modeler, and that your RPD is fully compatible with the Semantic Modeler, you can plan to move to that and adopt a totally different way to handle parallel development of your semantic model (RPD).

@Alan Lee - Oracle-Oracle Alan, thanks for your answer.

1) Having Semantic Modeller included in OAS 2024 is really good news

2) Am I too courageous to ask for providing the list of “few features with cloud-based dependencies that do not make it to OAS” ?

Thanks.

Do we know when the 2024 OAS Release will be available?

@User_J4W5A - Historically it has been sometime in March

Emily Cikovsky-Oracle

Yes, OAS releases annually in March, so it should be in your hands in the next two weeks (usual caveats apply, of course :).
