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…

I agree - not all users are fans of those "wannabe funny" messages, rather provide the ability to customize message, which will appear during page loading (this can be leverage to provide some admin messages, informing user community about some important facts).

Similar topic has been discussed in Idea : https://cloudcustomerconnect.oracle.com/posts/a28f798a09 . We are also using "automatic" addition to "login" parameters (&NQUser + &NQPassword) into URL for our current "publicly" exposed OBIEE dashboards (using OBIEE 12c - see for…

Hi Mike, just out of curiosity - when can we approximately expect, that this API will be made available in both OAC/OAS products ? Thanks and regards Michal

Hi Mike, just a short question - can similar approach (as described in blog "Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) Embedding— Public User Access — Part 1") be taken to expose DV content publicly using OAS (thus on-premise sw) ? Thanks and kind regards Michal 

I completely agree - users should be restricted on DV Home page to see only objects (Subject Areas, data sets etc...), they are entitled to see, based on their privileges (assignments to application roles), they should not see all objects. I consider this behavior as a Bug , which should be fixed very soon.

To compete with self-service BI tool "pioneers" (Tableau,Power BI...) and offer similar capabilities, this feature is definitelly a "must" - and it pays for DV projects but as well for good old Dashboards/Analysis as well.

Hi, BIPLATFORM schema is one of the "supporting" schema, leveraged by OAS instance. For OAS, creation of those supporting DB schemas is part of the installation procedure. For OAC I guess, those schemas are created automatically (somewhere...) during provisioning of OAC instance. But you your questions (in respect of OAC)…

Hi Marcelo, actually OAS (and I assume OAC as well) is internally storing BI catalog object definitions in tables in BIPLATFORM schema (as opposed to OBIEE 12c, where BI catalog was physically directory structure on server filesystem) - those tables are following (this is result of my internal exploration, so no official…

Very smart idea - DV should have the same concept as GoURL for Answers/Dashboards, alloowing me to construct URL for displaying particular canvas of DV project and passing filtering conditions for that canvas.
