Oracle Analytics and AI

Miguel Cardoso

Hi everyone,

We've just noticed that when creating new datasets and Dataflows in DV, we're being prompted to select a save location between My Folders and Shared folders (which we're very happy about), whilst up until very recently these used to be saved solely in DV under the Data folder structure.

We're wondering if this is related to this request:

Allow users to organize data sets into folders/sub-folders — Oracle

Any insights are greatly appreciated :)

Many thanks,

Miguel

Hi Miguel,

It's a new feature that was part of the Jan26 OAC update.

It is the feature named "Unified Catalog" that is still visible in the roadmap. You can see it mentioned here as well (with a video) : https://blogs.oracle.com/analytics/oracle-analytics-january-2026-update

Technically the DV objects that now you can "save" in the catalog still stay where they were. In the catalog it's mostly "references". The idea is that when you have a number of datasets, dataflows, connections it easier to be able to organize them in a tree structure like the catalog.

It is somewhat related to the idea you linked, there have been a number of ideas raised in the past years, some about organization, others about making migration across environment easier if every object was a catalog object.

Also look at the aliasing catalog object feature: it can make management easier by replacing/migrating objects and using aliases to not "break" dependencies/references in other objects etc.
