Data Loading
The Key to Improved Performance and Reduced Costs
E-LT provides flexible architecture for
optimized performance
Benefits

Leverage set-based transformations

Improved performance for loading, no

network hop

Takes advantage of existing hardware

Copyright 2014. Apps Associates LLC.

15

ETL Architecture
Informatica

Is an ETL tool (Extract, Transform, Load)

Has dedicated ETL engine
Transformation is the core part of ETL
Integration service handles the
transformation part, resulting in better
performance
File based transformation operations

Copyright 2014. Apps Associates LLC.

16

ETL Architecture
ODI

Is an ELT tool (Extract, Load, Transform)

Does not have dedicated ETL engine
Relies on database capabilities of the source / target database i.e. first loads the data in
some staging tables in the target database and later inserts / updates the data into the
final target tables based on the data transformation has to perform
Performance is primarily based on Source and Target Tables and Database

Copyright 2014. Apps Associates LLC.

17

ETL Architecture

In-database E-L-T Transformation vs. E-T-L.

Best in class performance, scalability, availability
Lightweight deployment for lower TCO
Faster time-to-value through declarative design
Heterogeneous, open and standards-based
Set based transformation

GUI
7.9.6.4

11.1.1.7.1

Connecting to the ETL Repository

We need to have client tool installed in the
machine to access repository

Connecting to the ETL Repository

No separate Client tools is involved. We can
connect to repositories using ODI console
or by web based URL

ETL Repositories
It has only one repository, so we have one
set of connection entries

ETL Repositories
We have two Repositories. Master and
Work Repositories. So we need two
Independent connection entries

Cost
ODI is cost effective compared to
Informatica
Copyright 2014. Apps Associates LLC.

21

GUI
Hardware
Informatica tool utilize its own engine to
implement the ETL process. So investment
in additional hardware to implement the
tools ETL engine.

Hardware
Utilizes existing hardware. ODI can run on
the same hardware as the database engine
underpinning the data warehouse, using
the existing hardware deployed.

22

Implementation
Domain Files
We need to configure manually

Domain Files
No need to configure Domain files. It is
automatically configured by using
Configuration Manager.

Time
It takes more time for configurations

Time
It takes less time for configurations

ETL Customization
In order to load data to custom column we
need to edit the Mapping

ETL Customization
In order to load data to custom column we
need to edit the interface

ETL Troubleshooting
Features like backtracking, dependencies
and debugger

ETL Troubleshooting
Features like Simulation to debug

Copyright 2014. Apps Associates LLC.

23

Declarative Design
Improved Developer Productivity and Lower Maintenance Costs
Informatica ETL Design
Developer must define every step of Complex ETL
Flow Logic
And significant development and maintenance
efforts

ODI Declarative Design

Simplifies the number of steps
Automatically generates the Data Flow whatever
the sources and target DB

Benefits
Reduces the learning curve
Shorter implementation times
Streamline access to non-IT pros

Administrative UI to track and manage implementation projects and functional setup steps

Copyright 2014. Apps Associates LLC.

26

BI Applications Configuration Manager

A centralized (thin client/web application)
console to

and user selections
Provide check lists and validations of all
necessary tasks
Reduce dependency on documentation
Configuration migration capabilities
Copyright 2014. Apps Associates LLC.

27

configuration data from source
Ability to track configuration progress
for project management
Enable / disable a functional area
from a module
Ability to create load plans with
extract only
Define, generate, execute and
monitor load plan
Scheduling for load plan for data
refresh

Copyright 2014. Apps Associates LLC.

29

BI Applications OLTP Coverage

Copyright 2014. Apps Associates LLC.

30

Migration Path
No formal migration path from 7.9.x to 11g
Ideal for implementations with minimal customizations
Upon implementation of BI Apps 11g, manually migrate the customizations on a
case by case basis as needed

Copyright 2014. Apps Associates LLC.

31

Enhanced ETL Architecture Using GoldenGate

Optional Feature for 11g
Challenge:
Customers with geographically distributed source systems are increasingly being challenged
by rapidly expanding data sizes and shorter ETL windows
Solution:
Optimize ETL load and reduce impact on OLTP system leveraging the strengths of GoldenGate
Completely prepackaged solution
Creation of Source Dependent Data Store (SDS)
Ability to complete all extraction tasks while in source system availability window

Copyright 2014. Apps Associates LLC.

32

Real-Time Data Refresh Using GoldenGate

Built in integration with GoldenGate

No need for batch load windows
ODS/SDS near real time refresh from distributed source databases
Ability to add/change indexes and views on SDS
Source for real time reporting needs
