FDI Dataflow Datasets and ADW Data Views Considered Custom Data?

Question

We want a better grasp on what is considered custom data so we can plan ahead and scale properly before we get too big. Fortunately we are no where near the 50gb limit as found using the subject area for custom data but it doesn't tell us other than 'System' where the custom data is coming from.  I found documentation here: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/analytics-for-applications/doc/top-faqs-data-configuration.html

And have a couple of questions

* Do data sets created from data flows saved to a) data storage (looks to be a flat file when created) or to a data warehouse connection considered custom data?
* Do data views in ADW using custom SQL count towards custom data?

From my talk through the AI assistant, this is what I can gather

* OAC data flows* Considered persistent data since we're saving to dataset storage and/or database connection.

* ADW data views* Not considered persistent data so. In my case since I only reference existing FDI data it does not count.

* BIP pipelines* Does not count and is included as an exception per documentation
* https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/analytics-for-applications/doc/top-faqs-data-configuration.html

* Semantic Extensions* Extensions at the logical layer are not considered peristent data (?) and does not count.

So my data flows seem to be my culprit and I'm not calculating against any external data so I believe best to eventually move these as data views

Thanks all

Thanks Daniel, I'll do that and report back

@marcfromhawaii, I have just checked one of my instances and that is showing I am using 2.4gb. Interestingly, these are all shown as System extensions. Might be worth raising an SR to see if support can tell you exactly what tables they relate to?
