End User should be able to change column display name in Subject Area without changing RPD in OACS.
Minimum dependency for business on IT.

This is a good point and would add value. It is also available in Answers so no reason for not being in DV, right?
This is a frustrating usability issue - a workaround that has been used to deal with this issue is to create new calculations every time a user needs to have a custom headers. Very tedious and time-consuming.
We used for this purpose (for on-premise OBIEE, but I guess, it should work) concept of externalization of names/decriptions of objects in presentation layer (see: https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/bi/analytics-server/metadata-oas/use-administration-tool-utilities.html#GUID-3F2BD5A3-2C8A-4F28-9379-7FCF32A748BE). Primarily it is intended for "localizing" presentation layer objects to different langauges, but can be used for your purpose as well. You just need to "expose" to end users (via some UI - for example in APEX) a table, which contains those "custom" presentation layer object names.
Hi Wilian,
Can you expand how it is possible in Answers? I though it is not available in Answers.

Thanks Michal for this workaround idea. I think we could use it if we want to implement for small set of columns.
If my subject area has 1000+ columns. I will end up creating 1000 init blocks. And assume that if a report has 20 columns, it will fire 20 different SQLs to display column names.
Did you had large scale or small scale columns using localization? And did you had any performance issue?
Hi Nikunj,
you only need one Init Block (one SQL query) to retrieve all "strings" for presentation layer object names for display.
I dont think that retrieval of 1000 + column names would be a problem...

I agree this will be a value addition.
However, you may try to create a local subject area with the subject area columns that you need and apply all preparation steps that are available for datasets. Not sure if this will serve your purpose but it could be a solution to some of the use-cases.
Does Oracle have any plans to introduce LLM-based AI features in a future release of Oracle Analytics Server (OAS) on-Premises? In particular, is there a roadmap for bringing capabilities such as the Oracle Analytics AI Assistant or an LLM-powered conversational chatbot, currently available in Oracle Analytics Cloud, to…
Summary of the Enhancement We request two key enhancements to the native Waterfall visualization in OAC Workbooks to support standard financial bridge reporting: Attribute-Driven Category Axis: Allow standard categorical attributes (with custom sorting) directly on the X-axis, removing the current dependency on Date/Time…
Currently in OAC, although we can create application roles in the OCI application (e.g Service Administrator), there is no way to programmatically create and configure custom application roles in OAC itself. This has to be done via the console system settings manually in OAC. We are running a large scale OAS > OAC…
Currently, in Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC), there is a 250GB storage limit for datasets, but there are no practical management features to operate within this limit. This makes day‑to‑day operations very inconvenient.I would like to request the following enhancements for dataset storage management: Configurable storage…
I'm not very technical so if this is a non-starter or there's a solid workaround that already exists, please advise. We have users that query SQL data sources directly in other tools, but then would like to bring that query as a dataset to OAS. Ideally they could create the view in the database and reference that object…
