About Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse
Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse enables you to analyze your NetSuite data and generate visualizations and reports.
This service is based on the real-world notions of KPIs, cards, and decks, and provides a collaborative experience optimized for executives and decision-makers. Business analysts can extend Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse using the intuitive KPI editor and other Oracle Analytics Cloud features to author new visualizations, reports, and dashboards. These analytics, whether new or ready-to-use, work alongside KPIs, cards, and decks for a comprehensive data analysis experience.
This packaged service includes Oracle Analytics Cloud and is powered by Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse. The service extracts and loads data from your Oracle NetSuite instance into an instance of Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse. You can then use Oracle Analytics Cloud to customize existing dashboards and create dashboards. You can augment your NetSuite data with data from the custom transaction objects and make the custom data available for reporting.
Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse consists of a data pipeline, data warehouse, semantic model, and best-practice content such as ready-to-use KPIs, dashboards, and reports. Oracle manages the service starting with deployment through performance monitoring, upgrades, and maintenance for the ready-to-use content.
Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse supports several non-English languages, and certain elements such as the user interface and auto-generated text are displayed in those languages.
- Standard tier: seven user packs
- Premium tier: nine user packs
- Enterprise tier: No limit on user packs
For example, if you have a Standard Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse license, you can only buy up to seven user packs. If you require nine user packs, then you must upgrade to the Premium license tier.

About the Autonomous Data Warehouse Tools
If you want to use the tools available in Autonomous Data Warehouse associated with your Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse instance, then note the following:
- If you’re an Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse (Standard and Premium) customer, then the Database tools option for only "Data Transforms" is enabled.
- If you’re an Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse (Enterprise) customer, then the Database tools option for only Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS), Oracle Application Express (APEX), Data Transforms, and Oracle Machine Learning is enabled.
- If you wish to use the Database tools that are enabled, then follow
this process:
- Download the wallet and open the README file. See About Autonomous Data Warehouse Wallet and Administrator Credentials.
- In the README file, copy any url for the Database tools listed
in the Autonomous Database Tools and Resources section till
.com
and then append the url after.com
for Data Transforms withodi/oracle-data-transforms/
and for Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) with/ords/
. You can use the URLs for Oracle Application Express and Oracle Machine Learning that are available in the README file.
Enable Single Sign-On
Set up the single sign-on authentication to enable users to access their Netsuite account through Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse.
When you enable single sign-on in Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse, you allow single sign-on access to NetSuite using authentication from a third-party identity provider. Users who have signed in to Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse can directly go to NetSuite. They don't need to log in separately to NetSuite, because authentication from the same identity provider is used for login to both Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse and NetSuite. To complete the single sign-on integration with a third party identity provider such as OKTA, Google, or Azure, you must refer to the applicable third party identity provider's documentation on how to obtain the required values.
- In Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse, open the Navigator menu, click Console, and then click Authentication.
- On the Authentication page, select Enable SSO.
- Under Authentication System Settings, in Assertion Consumer URL, enter the URL to direct your identity provider to send its SAML Response after authenticating a user.
- In Entity ID, enter the name of your application in the identity provider.
- In NamedID Format, ensure Email Address is selected and in NamedID Value, ensure that Primary Email is selected by default.
- Expand Advanced Settings, select Enable Single Logout, and provide appropriate values in Logout Binding, Single Logout URL, and Logout Response URL to configure the logout behavior.
