This presentation discusses best practice architecture for migrating the Oracle BI Applications to the cloud. It focuses on the Oracle cloud platform and database services, with a nod to infrastructure services, to lay out the idea of the hybrid cloud, and variations of the new age cloud BI/DW architecture for your analytics environment to succeed while operating at the same reliability or better all the while benefiting from what the cloud offers best.

For your Oracle Analytics infrastructure, Do
you want to maintain:
• All of it
• Part of it
• None of it – Just make it work
Full Configuration or Configuration Limitations?
Are you freeing up internal resources, training
them on cloud, or pointing them to other
internal on-premises priorities?
Who’s paying for this again?

Learn the differences: PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS
Plan for the initiative and get some assistance
Use Oracle DBaaS (Oracle Cloud DB) if using Oracle BICS as
front end
Update your OBIEE Oracle RPD connection pools (Update your
Oracle BI LCM process)
Update your BICS data model to the Oracle Cloud Database

19. www.datavail.com 19
Several Options Available for
Moving OBIA into the Cloud
BICS Only
BICS w/ DBaaS
BICS to on-premises Database
Oracle Analytics Cloud Service (OAC)
Oracle Compute
Oracle Compute with BICS
Pure Private/Public Hosted Cloud
• Amazon, Azure, etc.

20. www.datavail.com 20
Using BICS – Just BICS

21. www.datavail.com 21
Gets you SaaS footprint ready-to-go in the Oracle cloud
Including Mobile and SSL
A limited-use database schema
• 50Gb max
• Little control over the data or underlying system
Using BICS – Just BICS

22. www.datavail.com 22
BICS using an On-Premises Database
Get BICS environment info and BICS public key
• Get on-premises database settings (Oracle only)
On-premises DBs and DBaaS can be used at the same time
Install RDC Application into WebLogic instance on-premises
Create WebLogic datasource to on-premises DB
Use RPD Load Java Datasources…
Update RPD Connection Pool
Save and Deploy to BICS

23. www.datavail.com 24
A One Way Move…
Basics – Oracle BI Lift & Shift to Cloud
Move data to DBaaS instance
Have on-premises RPD ready-to-go
Update on-premises RPD to DBaaS Connection Pool (use patchXML)

• New snapshot > Upload Snapshot
Create new reports/vizs in BICS

BICS Limitations
BICS has no counterpart functionality for :
Dashboard Conditions
KPI / KPI Watchlist
Segment
Scorecard
High-Level Expectations Setting
comparing to On-premises OBIEE

27. More Considerations
for On-Premises
Movement to Cloud

28. www.datavail.com 29
Ideal, but considerations for a lift & shift should be addressed:
• Requires Oracle BI Version 11.1.1.6 or later but most functionality is only in OBIEE 12c
Deploy Oracle BI or the Oracle BI Applications solution using on-premises first
before migrating to cloud unless using the compute cloud service.
• Ensure everything works as designed and developed
Oracle BI Lift & Shift to Cloud
Considerations

29. www.datavail.com 30
Assess security options and plan
• Privilege Security Matrix
• Authentication and Authorization
Assess migration options for RPD and Web Catalog and plan (to and from if
needed)
Assess environment #’s and plan accordingly
• Ex: Most cloud instances only have a Sandbox and a Production instance

Moving Data to the Cloud
Use a replication system such as
DBVisit Replicate or GoldenGate
Several methods exist for moving data
to the Oracle Cloud for
BICS/DBaaS/OCC
For OBIA in cloud with Oracle Compute
Cloud, use SDS schema in DBaaS

Moving Data to the Cloud
Getting BICS data is a solid aim, unless
using Oracle Compute Cloud for your
full OBIA installation
Many different methods for
moving/syncing operational data into
DBaaS
REST APIs seem to be first-class
citizens in Oracle Cloud

36. OBIA & Oracle
Compute Cloud
How much integration and
control do you really need?

37. www.datavail.com 38
Oracle Compute Cloud for Oracle
BI Applications
Using compute direct server access download or get
OBIA installation binaries and install as if on-premises
ODI, WebLogic - all install on your OCC instance
Use DBaaS and optimally use the SDS
Oracle has a delivered OBIA BICS BAR file for the
OBIA solution for BICS ready-to-go
Ultimately Oracle may remove the ability to install
OBIEE Portal on Compute Cloud
