Hi Prasad, since I am in the same position as you (thus I am Oracle customer), I cannot advise you on this. I guess, that Oracle is evaluating each Idea based on "Thumbs Up" collected, relevance of Idea, possibly by "weight" of customer, who has created Idea (you are working for CapGemini ,so I think, this should have a…

Hi Prasad, if I understand correctly your requirement, you want to restrict availability/usage of data sets(created in DV) in Answers tool (thus traditional tools) . If this is the case, than it is product enhancement requirement - to have the option (possibly as global setting for all data sets or per data set) to forbid…

Hi Prasad, your statement : "And these external subject areas are visible to all the users." is not true . In Answers tool , user is able to see just those external data sets , to which he has been granted privilege for that particular data set (using Inspect -> Access menu). And this behaviour is absolutely correct. You…

To have more fine-grained control over security (functional privileges, permission settings) in DV similar to "classical" OBIEE has been accented already in several existing Ideas. So it would be very helpful, if Product Development would judge those Ideas as really "highly wanted" and incorporate them in near future in…

Hi Shiram, thanks for you answer, I appreciate it, but I consider this as a really "very first kickoff". What you are describing is fine for some small playing and small POC, but I am missing serious and enterprise wide documentation/knowledge base - your post simply raises another questions : 1) Your description of XML…

Praveen, if you have setup Usage Tracking, this functionality is auditing/tracking all logical SQL, which BI Server (core component of OAS/OAC suite) is exectuting - and those logical SQL includes also your DV queries - the only difference is, that they are (in majority of cases) not run against subject area (but they…

We will need this (as a customizable option) for DV (in OAS) as well.

Hi Ranjith, read following documentation regarding Saved Customization : https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/12212/biee/BIESC/GUID-351F0594-047C-489B-A4B7-9779A0088574.htm#BIESC6012 . It is for OBIEE 12c, but the same pays for OAS/OAC - this should give you the guidance, how to setup (by yourself), what you are requesting.…

Dan, completely agree with you - as N. Amstrong said : "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" . To have (from UI) access to all variables (session/repository), defined in metadata is something, is something, which should not be that big deal to implement... Oracle is chasing for "shiny" new features in…

We received the same requirement from our DV business users.

So it looks like, that it does not work for OAS and OAC as well. Thanks Marcelo for confirmation. Rgds Michal 

HI Alwin, we are not a cloud customer, thus we are not using OAC, but OAS (Oracle Analytics Server - on premise sw). And we are having integration to AD (via Authentication provider) in place for ages (since OBIEE 11g/12c before we upgraded to OAS). And searching users (from AD) by Display Name is working perfectly in…

Hi Bret, see attached screenshot for data set acces screen - this is for OAS and it has been confirmed by Oracle support, that this behaviour is the same on their OAS environment. Your are right, if you search by User Id, Display Name is shown, but when you save it, User Id is then shown. And you cannot search by Display…

When speaking to data set admin actions, I have also one tip for change - which would be very helfpull for DevOps (deployment) operation - moving DV artefacts from one environment to other (DEV2PROD): Ability to change/switch connection assigned to data set (created from database connection) - when you deploy from DEV to…

To have more fine-grained control over functionalities in DV (similar to Privileges setup for "classical" OBIEE) is very desirable feature.

I resonate with this idea - we just know, that some logical SQL has been fired by some user (representing analysis run, dashboard prompt values retrieval, even runnign visualization in DV), but it is impossible to figure out, what user has exported what data from OBIEE/DV UI.

Small thing but with high value (missing in product since OBIEE). Should not be that complicated to implement, I guess.

Very desirable feature, there is a demand for that for quite long time (since "OBIEE" times).

Hi Gabby, thanks for sharing the link with publicly exposed Dashboard (https://ida.ussc.gov/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard) with I assume, mixed content of analysis and DV projects/canvas (along with dashboard prompt). Since we are using OBIEE (version 12c) for similar kind of presenting public dynamic content (see for…

Hi Garry, thanks very much for your very comprehensive answer - I really appreciate that. And all the argument, where you are explaining the rationales for having just one OAS release per year seems to be valid for me. It assures me (although it may seem that cloud "rules the world" and on-premise is something…
