Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence - Preview Features Unlocked
What Exactly Is a Preview Feature?
Preview Features are high-confidence capabilities, already complete in design and implementation and carrying a roadmap commitment, though they may still change before general availability. You can evaluate them for production use as-is; Oracle Support can help with feasibility questions.
Here's a quick tour, with a closer look at the Pipeline Features that give you the most control over data refresh and the third-party data connectors you can plug in alongside them.
⚙︎ Application Settings -

Bundle Repository | Share bundles between instances — privately within a tenancy, or publicly for tenancies with the right entitlements. |
AI Concierge | Ask administrator questions in conversational English; after your confirmation, it can activate functional areas, enable features, create data extensions, and configure pipeline parameters. |
