About the 1Z0-1177-26 Exam

Master the Oracle Governed Analytics Professional with Oracle Analytics Cloud exam (1Z0-1177-26) — building and refining analyses, views and calculations, formatting with filters, selection steps, prompts and variables, dashboard design with Dashboard Builder, prompts, pages and briefing books, data connectivity and artifact migration, administration, delivery and security, plus the full Oracle Analytics Publisher stack: data models, Layout Editor and RTF Template Builder, Excel and eText templates, scheduling, bursting and delivery, data sources, translations and secure reporting.

The Governed Analytics Professional with Oracle Analytics Cloud certification validates that you can build governed, shareable analytics content in Oracle Analytics Cloud — and then deliver it as pixel-perfect, scheduled, secured reporting through Oracle Analytics Publisher. It is the rare Oracle analytics credential that scores both halves of that story, with roughly 55% on the Oracle Analytics Cloud side and 45% on the Publisher side.

Who Should Take This Exam?

This exam is aimed at business analysts, BI analysts, reporting analysts, BI developers and data analysts who already work in Oracle Analytics Cloud day to day — the people who build the analyses, design the dashboards, and own the scheduled reports that the rest of the business reads.

It rewards product knowledge over infrastructure administration. The questions turn on how Oracle Analytics behaves and which object is the right one to reach for — which view type, which filter mechanism, which template technology, which delivery channel — rather than on provisioning or platform operations.

Prerequisites: None (hands-on experience with Oracle Analytics Cloud and Oracle Analytics Publisher recommended)

Typical study time: 8-12 weeks alongside regular hands-on use

💡 Study tip: Two domains tie for the heaviest weight at 15% — Building and Formatting Reports Using Layout Editor and Template Builder and Managing Report Scheduling, Data Sources, Administration, and Translations. Both are Oracle Analytics Publisher topics, so start there: together they are 30% of the exam, and the Publisher domains as a group carry 45%. The two 5% domains (Understanding Oracle Analytics Cloud and Exploring and Creating Reports and Data Models in Oracle Analytics Publisher) are the lightest, but they set up vocabulary the heavier domains assume.

Frequently asked questions

The questions analysts usually ask before preparing for Oracle’s Governed Analytics Professional exam.

What does 1Z0-1177-26 cover? #

The exam covers ten scored domains. Understanding Oracle Analytics Cloud at 5%; managing and creating analyses, views and content at 10%; formatting data and managing filters, selection steps and variables at 10%; designing, creating and enhancing dashboards at 10%; connecting to data sources and migrating artifacts at 10%; managing administration, security and performance at 10%; exploring and creating reports and data models in Oracle Analytics Publisher at 5%; building and formatting reports using Layout Editor and Template Builder at 15%; managing report scheduling, data sources, administration and translations at 15%; and managing and securing Oracle Analytics Publisher inside Oracle Analytics Cloud at 10%.

How much of the exam is Oracle Analytics Publisher? #

Close to half. The four Publisher domains — reports and data models, Layout Editor and Template Builder, scheduling and data sources and translations, and securing Publisher within Oracle Analytics Cloud — together carry 45% of the scored weight. Treat Publisher as a first-class study area rather than an appendix to the analyses and dashboards content.

Is 1Z0-1177-26 a lab exam? #

No. Oracle’s MyLearn listing describes a 50-question, 90-minute multiple-choice exam. It is delivered as an online certification exam and does not list a hands-on performance lab. Confirm the current passing score when you register, as Oracle can revise it.

Do I need another Oracle certification first? #

No formal prerequisite is listed. Oracle recommends hands-on experience with both Oracle Analytics Cloud and Oracle Analytics Publisher before attempting the exam.

Which domain should I study first? #

Two domains tie for the heaviest weight at 15% each — building and formatting reports using Layout Editor and Template Builder, and managing report scheduling, data sources, administration and translations. Both are Oracle Analytics Publisher topics, so starting there covers 30% of the exam and builds the foundation for the other two Publisher domains.

How long is the certification valid? #

The credential follows Oracle’s Cloud Recertification policy. Check the official Oracle certification page for the current recertification requirements before you plan your renewal.
