We were able to get this worked out a few months ago. I will post our document here so others can be helped.

Hi Joshua, Thanks for all your help. Looks like we will creating an SR. Tried _high, _medium, and _low TNS name entries, all of which are located in the TNSNAMES file.

Here are our results: Also added optional service name and port:

Yes, it is installed. What are we supposed to do next?

TNS_ADMIN Environment Variable has been set properly now. I have tried every combination I can of server names, services, and ports from the TNSNAMES to try to connect to Tableau. This is the Tableau Connection to Oracle screen. Can anyone let me know if you have successfully connected your Tableau Desktop to OADW Cloud?…

An error occurred while communicating with the data source Bad Connection: Tableau could not connect to the data source. Error Code: 37CE01A3 No details available. I copied the Server, Service and Port names from the TNSNAMES file located in the Wallet file.

Hello again, I successfully was able to create the table on the fly in OADW. However, Tableau does not have a connector directly to OADW tables. Our OADW connection credentials utilize the Wallet file. Tableau does not recognize a wallet file. Any suggestions here?

Hi Wayne, I will check. Thanks for the tip. Will post back with my results.

HI Joshua, I was just trying the Dataflow to a Database Connection. I am receiving an error of invalid table. I am assuming a table must be created in OADW first, as this method does not create the table for you? Have you done this before? Just wondering what the change management steps are (i.e. - Adding new fields to the…

Hi Wayne, Thanks for the quick response. I found the YouTube video you linked to regarding this on the exact same question, but this doesn't explain how Tableau connects directly do it. I only see a demo for a SQL client tool.

All, As a follow up, I found a workaround. If you have admin privileges, you can go to the Content Management page to see all the objects. Simply highlight the data flow and other objects (datasets, etc), and click Change Ownership to the user id needing the Dataflow. This seems to work, as I just tested it. Thanks, Rob

I suggested this at the 2022 Analytics Summit. The home page now has gotten quite messy with all the Data Sets, Data Flows, Reports, Workbooks, Favorites, etc., so users are confused on where to find their reports. We would like a way to customize the home page so we can have a simple menu for users to follow, while also…

This has become a very big challenge for us now that we are depending on OAC Data Flows. If we are able to control permissions Data Sets, Connections, Workbooks, Analyses, and other features, then permissions on Data Flows should have the same capability. This became evident over the past few weeks when one of a heavy user…

Luis, Isn't this already part of a planned release with the Cloud Semantic Modeler? https://blogs.oracle.com/analytics/post/oracle-analytics-updates-to-be-excited-for-in-2022 Thanks, Rob

Our organization is in need of this as well. This will become a change management nightmare if this feature is not enabled.
