Hi Gabby, thanks for info - since we are using on-premise sw - Oracle Analytics Server - this enhancement will be part of the next yearly release of OAS I guess - is this correct ? Kind regards Michal

Hi Marco, not sure, whether I understand your reply correctly - but true is (speaking about Oracle Analytics Server - thus on-premise sw, I dont know, whether in OAC the behaviour is different, but I suspect that not), that enforcement of re-entering password to be able to save changes in permissions (Access tab) for…

Completelly agree with this idea. The best option would be, if data sets, connections (generally all DV objects) would leverage BI catalog for storing their definitions - this would be the best synergy between "governed" and "self-service" worlds within Oracle Analytics suite (so far the only object, which uses BI catalog…

To offer comparable feature to agents (in "traditional" BI world) also for self-service DV projects is a almost "must-have" requirement - when we will be offering DV to business users.

Thanks to both of you for your comments. I understand, that API, mentioned in Philipp's post is not a official one, but at least it can give us a notion, what we can expect when it will be publicly available. Michal

Hi Mike, thanks for your reaction - I am glad to hear that. I am looking forward to have it implemented in next release of OAS. I know, that it will come first to OAC, but we are (and for some time we will be) on on-premise sw and thus I will be eagerly expecting new release of OAS (I guess it will be no sooner than next…

Definitelly this feature should be there - althought BI Server has time-series function - ToDate and Ago, those functions cannot be used for "external" data sets in DV (just for calculations in DV projects, based on Subject Areas - due to a need for Time dimension). If those functions would be "exposed" for all data sets,…

I am fighting with this for some time as well - it really complicates constructing Usage Tracking queries specific for Data Visualization. So this is highly wanted feature.

That is quite lone term limitation of BI Publisher templates (it pays not only from rows but also for columns in pivot table design), so this should be definitelly solved - highest time (this limit is there in BI Publisher since I remember - 10 years or more...)

Data Sets are set for Live query mode (as I pointed, data are quite volatile and using Auto query mode would require to perform Reload manually by data set owner). It is about BI Server cache - when somebody runs DV projects, results for visualization are cached in BI Server cache (we cannot "switch off" BI Server cache…

Hi Daniel, you are absolutelly right. If you are exposing DV project, with volatile data (external data sets from Oracle database for example), you dont want to run into situation, where consumer got stale data (because they are comming from BI Server cache) and you want to allow (if you cannot bypass BI Server cache - at…

All, who have been used to this feature, are really missing it - so pls, bring it back. Thanks Michal

I hit this limitation as well, so would be good to have it implemented. Generally what I am missing is the ability to "share" calculations across projects - since some calculation (due to the logic - see blog https://blogs.oracle.com/analyticscloud/two-ways-to-create-custom-calculations-in-oracle-analytics ) needs to be…

Hi Tim, thanks for your answer - I agree, that Oracle is moving in right direction, but still plenty of work to do to be able to catch the rest of the analytics word - hopefully another progress will be visible quite soon. Rgds Michal

Hi, Tony, as usual, perfectly hit the point - highly desirable feature. I would just add one more "feature" to the Tonny's list : Ability to perform "Data Refresh" from this "presentation" mode of DV. I am lacking this currentlt when running DV project in presentation mode (parameter reportmode=presentation). Kind regards…

Definitelly "must have" feature. I have already raised SR by Oracle support on this (for OAS version). API should deal also with ability to upload newer version of external data set (CVS/Excel), perform data refresh on data set etc.... There is quite rich API (Web Services) for "traditional" OBIEE world (/analytics), but…

Hi, juts jumping into discussion: Tim Vlamis recomendation is a kind of a little bit "dirty" workaround, which fills the gap in product. (like scraping with right hand on left ear.). Why should I create connection of "Oracle Application" to the same OAC/OAS instance, I am currently working on ? It should be the native…

Would be really usefull feature.

Hi Pravin, great to hear this announcement. I know, that Oracle is not commiting to any timeframes, but anyway, I am courious when we can expect this new modelling tool (new version of Bi Administration Tool) ? I am especially courious about availability for on-premise OAS sw. Thanks and kind regards Michal

Generally in Data Visualization the concept of hierarchical columns (known from OBIEE metadata) and allowing asymetral drilling is completelly missing. Even when working with Subject Areas from OBIEE in DV, DV is not aware of hierarchical columns, so you cannot work with it in DV. Very disarable feature (with ability to…
