Sumanth V -Oracle

Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) REST APIs allow for automating snapshot management, including creating and restoring BAR files for backups. Automating these tasks ensures data consistency, quick recovery, and minimal manual intervention. This guide provides high-level steps to automate these tasks using REST API scripts.

Advantages of Automating Snapshot Management:

✔ Efficient Backup & Recovery – Reduces manual effort and ensures quick restoration in case of failures
✔ Improved Data Integrity – Ensures consistent snapshots with minimal risk of data loss
✔ Scheduled Automation – Enables routine backups without manual intervention
✔ Secure Storage & Retrieval – Facilitates easy storage and retrieval of snapshots for compliance and auditing
