Reference for FastConnect

This guide lists the predefined objects in OCI Resource Analytics for the FastConnect service. You can find information about views, entity relationships, subject areas, and sample queries.

Views

This section provides information about views within OCI Resource Analytics FastConnect and their columns, data types, keys, and the referenced view and column names. The following views are available:

FastConnect Views
NameDescription
FAST_CONNECT_CROSS_CONNECT_DIM_VThis view stores information about cross-connects, which represent a physical connection between an existing network and Oracle.
FAST_CONNECT_CROSS_CONNECT_GROUP_DIM_VThis view stores information about cross-connect groups, which are a link aggregation group (LAG) that can contain one or more cross-connects.
FAST_CONNECT_CROSS_CONNECT_MAPPING_DIM_VThis view stores information about cross-connect mappings. Each row represents a cross-connect mapping associated with a virtual circuit.
FAST_CONNECT_VIRTUAL_CIRCUIT_DIM_VThis view stores information about virtual circuits.
FAST_CONNECT_CROSS_CONNECT_FACT_VFact table for OCI FastConnect cross-connect resources.
FAST_CONNECT_CROSS_CONNECT_GROUP_FACT_VFact table for OCI FastConnect cross-connect group resources.
FAST_CONNECT_VIRTUAL_CIRCUIT_FACT_VFact table for OCI FastConnect virtual circuit resources.

The suffixes in the view names designate the view type:

  • FACT_V: Fact
  • DIM_V: Dimension

The contents of each view and their relationships are listed in the following file: Fast Connect views.

Each tab in the Excel spreadsheet contains the details of a view.

Relationship Diagram

This section provides diagrams that define the logical relationship of a fact table with different dimension tables.

This diagrams show the relationship of fact views with different dimension views.

Subject Areas

This section provides information on the subject areas with data you maintain in FastConnect. These subject areas, with their corresponding data, are available for you to use when creating and editing analyses and reports. The information for each subject area includes:

  • Description of the subject area.

  • Business questions that can be answered by data in the subject area, with a link to more detailed information about each business question.

  • Job-specific groups and duty roles that can be used to secure access to the subject area, with a link to more detailed information about each job role and duty role.

  • Primary navigation to the work area that's represented by the subject area.

  • Time reporting considerations in using the subject area, such as whether the subject area reports historical data or only the current data. Historical reporting refers to reporting on historical transactional data in a subject area. With a few exceptions, all dimensional data are current as of the primary transaction dates or system date.

  • The lowest grain of transactional data in a subject area. The lowest transactional data grain decides how data are joined in a report.

  • Special considerations, tips, and things to look out for in using the subject area to create analyses and reports.
