The OAC 6.3 version is
getting released. When comparing to OAC 6.2, below mentioned are the new
features or enhancements in OAC 6.3
1
General
1.1
Projects
renamed to Workbooks
In the Oracle Analytics user interface and user
assistance, "projects" have been renamed to "workbooks." We
can use the workbooks to organize the visualizations just as you have done for
projects. In the DV link, when we click on Create, we have few options like
Project, Dataset, Data Flow etc. In the 6.3 release, the Projects will
be renamed as Workbooks.
1.2
Share
feedback on Oracle Analytics
Provide feedback on Oracle Analytics directly from
the user-profile menu. From the OAC 6.3 release onwards, users will have option
to share feedback on oracle analytics through user profile menu. The current
options in OAC 6.2 are as below.

Visualization
2.1
Position
tables and pivot tables
Format visualizations more easily with enhanced
positioning of tables and pivot tables.

Data
Preparation
3.1
Analyze
the performance of visualization components
The performance of visualization components can be
analyzed using the Built-In Performance tools. The statistics such as query
time, server time, and streaming time for visualization components in workbooks
can be analyzed using the performance tools.
3.2
Compute
machine learning model lift and gain values
Evaluate prediction machine learning models more
effectively using lift and gain statistics that you can visualize. Gain and
Lift charts are used to evaluate performance of classification model. They
measure how much better one can expect to do with the predictive model
comparing without a model. This can be used for Risk Modeling in
Banking/Insurance or in Supply Chain.
3.3
Experience
improved performance for datasets output to DSS.
From past few releases, Oracle team has been trying to further improve the query performance where multiple datasets were involved. However, with this 6.3 release users can expect Improved Data Flow query performance for datasets
written to Data Set Storage (DSS).
3.4
OTBI
and remote Oracle Analytics Server and Oracle BI EE sources for datasets with
multiple tables
We can use the Oracle Applications connection to add tables from Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence and remote Oracle Analytics Server and Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition subject areas and reports to datasets containing multiple tables. With this feature, with the help of Oracle Applications connection tables can be added from OTBI, OAS and OBIEE subject areas to datasets.

Administration
4.1
Export
snapshots to storage in Oracle Cloud
Store your Oracle Analytics Cloud snapshots on Oracle Cloud. Especially useful if you have to manage large snapshots or when experiencing issues downloading large snapshots to your local file system, or when moving snapshots between cloud environments. But the snapshot must be taken from an environment at the same version as or an earlier version than the target environment. With this feature rollout, hopefully user does not have to worry about the count limitation of 40 snapshots.
