Hello All,

I have updated to OAS's latest update for 2023 but at first I could't find the API connector under the connections so I found in MOS note that I had to turn on the preview options unders system settings. The problem I have is I don't see any preview options under my environment after doing this update.

Does anyone know if it's moved somewhere else or do I need to open a SR for this issue ?


Thanks

Syed

    @User_3YQO6 I will save your time for creating SR. I actually did the same recently (after performing in-place upgrade of our OAS environments to 2023/7.0 release and realized that all preview features from OAC are not included into this OAS release) and received following response from Product Development:

    "The concept of preview is that features are still evolving but are usable enough within specific limits.

    With OAC, we update those features within our bi-monthly updates until they get to the point that we enable them by default.

    With OAS we do not have an ability to provide frequent updates and not control on the user deploying those update, hence the concept of Preview features will not exist in OAS"

    I also created Idea:

    which has been declined by Product Mgmt with justification.

  • It is an OAC feature, it isn't listed as an OAS feature.

    The 2 products have different set of features. It looks like the REST API connection is one of the few OAC features that didn't make it into OAS (or Oracle did forget to expose the preview settings in OAS thinking that none was meant to be there, things like the Semantic Modeler etc.).

    If you want a formal Oracle answer you will probably need to raise an SR and ask them to confirm it is an OAC only feature.

    Thank you. I will raise an SR to confirm.
