Hello All,

Let me seek your view on below queries:

1) Is OTBI (Operational Transactional BI) part of OBIEE or different tool all together?
2) Is OTBI is supported/compatible and widely used in OCI (On cloud infrastructure environment)?
3) Is OTBI also available with OAC (Oracle Analytics Cloud) stack?
4) Is Cloud version of OBIEE is known as OAS now?
5) What is difference between OAS and OAC?
6) Does OAC contain all features of OBIEE?

Thanks,
Rajneesh

    1.) OTBI uses the OBI technological platform but is the analytical engine "baked into" several oracle cloud products.

    2) See here:

    https://learn.oracle.com/ords/launchpad/learn?page=introduction-to-implementing-otbi&context=0:41136:41153

    https://learn.oracle.com/ords/launchpad/learn?page=getting-started-with-using-otbi&context=41090

    3.) No. OTBI and OAC are two completely different things. OTBI analyzes whatever product it gets bought with. OAC analyzes any data source you can think of.

    4.) No. OAS is Oracle Analytics Server and is the new on-premises product.

    5.) OAS is on-premises. OAC is in cloud.

    6.) No. OAC does not contain all features of OBIEE. Among other things it doesn't contain Act As, SQL group providers, etc

    Hi Christain,

    Thanks for your reply and it was helpful.

    I am a bit confused as below:

    1) I read that "Oracle Analytics Desktop (OAD) compatibility will align with OAC" . Is that mean - we can integrate OAD with OAC? If so then OAD will also analyzes any data source you can think of?

    2) I also read that "Customers can deploy OAS on-premises or in a private cloud". Is that mean that OAS can serve reporting needs on both -on premise as well on cloud (OCI- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)?

    Thanks,

    Rajneesh

    OAD is a desktop tool. So while you can analyze a lot of data sources it's probably not the most clever thing to do on a desktop. You just won't have the power you need.

    OAC or OAS with a well sized server is what you want. OAD is for small stuff.

    Yes you can deploy OAS in OCI If you want to have full control and full access down to OS level.
