Migrate File-based Data and Custom Maps Manually

In Oracle Analytics Cloud, users upload data files to create their datasets, such as spreadsheets. Users might also upload files containing custom map layers and map backgrounds to enhance their visualizations and reports. When you migrate to Oracle Analytics Server, users must manually move their data files and custom map files as these files aren't included in the snapshot.

  • Data files (for example, XLSX, XLS, CSV, TXT files)
  • Map layers
  • Map backgrounds
  1. Sign-in to the source Oracle Analytics Cloud.
  2. Download the files that you want to migrate to Oracle Analytics Server.
    1. Navigate to the dataset that you want to download, click Actions, and then click Download File.
    2. Navigate to the custom map file (map layer, map background, or map image) that you want to download, click Options, and then click Download.

      For example, see Download Custom Map Layers.

  3. Sign-in to the target Oracle Analytics Server.
  4. Upload the files that you want to migrate to Oracle Analytics Server.
    1. Navigate to the Dataset tab and upload your data files. Enter the same Name and separator values that you used in Oracle Analytics Cloud.
    2. Navigate to the Maps tab and upload your custom map files (map layer, map backgrounds, or map images). Enter the same Name and property values that you used in Oracle Analytics Cloud.

      For example, see Add Custom Map Layers.
