Essbase connectivity to OAC functionally remains the same. Customers need to ensure that they can connect to Essbase on OCI and ensure that networking components on the Essbase network topology allows ability to connect to Essbase instnace. Typically, this would require a "Service Gateway" setup that allows connectivity to Oracle PaaS services.
