Configure External Storage OCI Object Storage Connection

This document provides a step-by-step guide to configure an external storage connection using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage with Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Connector (BICC). It includes instructions for creating a bucket, gathering necessary OCI connection properties, configuring external storage settings, and testing the connection. The setup allows BICC to load files to the OCI Object Storage Bucket, making it compatible with Oracle Analytics Cloud for data replication.

Configure External Storage-OCI Object Storage Connection

https://www.ateam-oracle.com/post/set-up-oracle-fusion-saas-business-intelligence-cloud-
connector-bicc-to-use-oracle-cloud-infrastructure-oci-object-storage

a) Sign into Oracle Cloud: https://cloud.oracle.com

b) Click on the Infrastructure Dashboard

c) Click top left hamburger -> select Object Storage -> Object Storage

d) Create Bucket

e) Change the default bucket name -> change other settings as desired -> click Create Bucket

 The bucket name should not have any spaces in it.

 Leave the Storage Tier = Standard

 Object Events = Unchecked

 Encryption = "Encrypt Using Oracle Managed Keys" (suggested)

Client-side encryption is not supported. Customer-managed keys can be used to encrypt the data
stored in the object storage container instead of using the keys that Oracle generates. The encryption
key used is transparent to the client since object storage decrypts the data before sending it to the
client over SSL.

Return to the OCI tab -> Click (top right) on Profile -> User Details -> Scroll down to API Key ->
Add the Public Key that was generated and exported from BICC.
