Why I created a blog

Its been many years since I first created this blog. It has remained true to Essbase and related information over those years. Hopefully it has answered questions and given you insight over those years. I will continue to provide my observations and comments on the ever changing world of EPM. Don't be surprised if the scope of the blog changes and brings in other Hyperion topics.

Connectiong to Autonomous OAC through MaxL

Just a quick note, since I had to ask to get it to work. You have the capability to download a secure version of MaxL from the OAC Essbase instances. What this means is you can run the MaxL you have on-premises just by changing the server to the cloud URL.  If you are migrating from  on-prem, this can save you a lot of time as you won;t have to write REST calls or EssCLI.

When you connect to a PaaS OAC instance, you can just get the public IP address and use it, but ther is no public IP address for Autonomous OAC (OAAC). Insted, you have to use the server address like:
https://your instance.oraclecloud.com/essbase/, but that does not work.   I order to get it to work after essbase you have to add /agent.

Note, the same thing is true if you want to connect using EssCli.

Good luck. Hopefully your life became easier.
