OAC systemsettings

As of the writing of this post many on Oracle Analytics Cloud will have been patch to the latest version.  My current Cloud Analytics Cloud BI Instance is:

Oracle Business Intelligence Product Version 12.2.5.2.0 (Build BIPS-20190315164310 64-bit)

You can get there via the DV / Console or via URLs

https://YourCloud.analytics.ocp.oraclecloud.com/bipodadmin/

Scrolling down I see the property set to true.

Double Click on true and change to false

 

Follow Restart instructions

 

 

Then repeat process changing false back to true

I will leave reviewing the additional properties available in the systemsettings for another post.
