AI Data Platform Series: Setting Up the AI Data Platform Environment
This post backs up a step from the rest of the AI Data Platform series. Before any bronze/silver/gold Spark job can run, or a stream producer can hand data off to something downstream, the AI Data Platform (AIDP) environment itself has to exist: a Workbench, a workspace, a catalog, compute, and a place to keep secrets. This post walks through building all of that from nothing on a brand-new OCI tenancy, using the same TfL bus-arrivals demo's naming (catalog tfl, schemas bronze/silver/gold) as the throughline.

Connecting OPAF Chat to Oracle Analytics Cloud via MCP

It walks through the OAuth configuration, MCP server setup, and Agent Builder flow needed to let a private OPAF agent query live, governed OAC subject areas. The result is an analytics-aware AI assistant that can discover metadata, generate Logical SQL, and answer questions using trusted enterprise data—without duplicating the semantic model or underlying data.
