What is an OCE file?

OCE files mostly belong to BrioQuery.

BrioQuery Output Connection: OCE files often serve as output connection files for BrioQuery. They store settings and parameters that link query output to further data processing. For example, the file may hold details used by the BI tool to reestablish a connection to data sources.

Oracle Cost Estimator Configuration
Other OCE files are generated by the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Cost Estimator. They contain cost parameters and configuration settings that allow the tool to calculate cloud service expenses. For more information, check the Oracle Cost Estimator page.

Key details summarized by FilExt.com:

They are proprietary files not meant to be edited in a basic text editor.

Opening these files requires the original application (BrioQuery or Oracle Cost Estimator).

The file may include sensitive configuration data.

How to open OCE files
