About Private Access Channels
If you want Oracle Analytics Cloud to access data on a private host, you can set up a private access channel. A private access channel can give Oracle Analytics Cloud access to private data sources within your virtual cloud network (VCN) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or other networks peered to the VCN such as your corporate network.
You can set up a private access channel for Oracle Analytics Cloud instances deployed with Enterprise Edition. Private access channels aren't available to Oracle Analytics Cloud instances with Professional Edition.
Private access channels enable you to connect to private data source hosts. You can't use a private access channel to access any other type of private host. For example, you can't use private access channels to access private hosts that represent FTP servers, SMTP servers, printers , MapViewer configuration, or any other type of private host you might you use.
Private Access Channel for Oracle Analytics Cloud Instances with Public Endpoint
If Oracle Analytics Cloud has a public endpoint you must specify the VCN and subnet you want the private access channel to use.
If you want to restrict outgoing traffic (egress) over the private access channel, you can configure network security groups for your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance that contain one or more egress rules.
Private Access Channel for Oracle Analytics Cloud Instances with Private Endpoint
If Oracle Analytics Cloud has a private endpoint, the private access channel uses the same VCN and subnet as the private endpoint.
If you want to restrict incoming traffic (ingress) or outgoing traffic (egress) over the private access channel, you can configure network security groups for your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance that contain one or more ingress or egress rules.
