Autonomous Database support in Essbase

Happy New Year 2019!

In my earlier post, we learnt to use existing CLI to connect to ADW and ATP. This was just a workaround and new OAC-Essbase CLI does not need it anymore.

However the workaround was only for CLI and there was no support through UI and REST.
From OAC 5.2, Essbase CLI, UI and REST support to create connection to autonomous database(Autonomous data warehouse and transaction processing).

This post will demonstrate to create a connection to ADW and that connection can then be used to data load, build dimension, drill through or any other use cases using Essbase data sources abstraction.

Step 1. Download the wallet ZIP from your ADW/ATP instance.

Step 2. If you need any proxy settings to connect to the database then extract the zip, change/add proxy details in the tnsnames.ora. This is specified in the post I mentioned at the start of this post.

Step 3: Create an Oracle Database - Autonomous Connection like below:


Now create a data source and use it to load data, build a dimension, drill through ....

Rest :

To upload wallet file for a connection to be created called myconn:
curl "http://host/essbase/rest/v1/connections/myconn/wallet" -X PUT
-H "Content-type: application/octet-stream"
 --data <Wallet file path>

To create:
curl "http://host/essbase/rest/v1/connections" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
--data "{""name"":""myconn"",""description"":"""",""type"":""DB"",""service"":""essbaseadw"",""walletPath"":""/system/wallets/myconn"",""user"":""ADMIN"",""password"":""password""}"
