Introduction

What is Data Integration?  Consolidate date in one place (…)  Commonly referred to as: – ETT – ETL – Etc…  The one thing that will take a lot of time in your project plan

What is the need for Data Integration?  Provide access to business data – One source of the truth – Analysis – Summaries – Ad hoc query – Forecasts – Predictions

What does the Integration architecture consist of?  Consolidate data – Across systems  Define the target structures – Understandable (consolidated) presentation – Optimized for query retrieval  Set up this environment  Manage this environment  Maintain this environment

What Data Integration areas are covered by OWB?  Consolidate data – Across systems  Define the target structures – Understandable (consolidated) presentation – Optimized for query retrieval  Set up the environment  Manage the environment  Maintain the environment

How do I use OWB? Data structure design Capture source definitions ETL design Oracle 8i/9i/10g Generate code Deploy Extract and Transform Data Validate design

ETL and Schema Design

What design capabilities are there?  Data structures: – Dimensional – Relational  ETL processes: – Data flows – Process flows  End user access

Focus on ETL  Data Flows – The core of Extract, Transform and Load – Allows you to design individual extraction routines – Graphical Editor  Process Flows – Groups several data flows – Contains many built-in activities such as notification, fork, FTP etc…
