 Introduction to Oracle Data Integrator
A widely used data integration software product, Oracle Data Integrator provides a new declarative
design approach to defining data transformation and integration processes, resulting in faster and
simpler development and maintenance. Based on a unique E-LT architecture (Extract - Load
Transform), Oracle Data Integrator not only guarantees the highest level of performance possible for
the execution of data transformation and validation processes but is also the most cost-effective
solution available today. Oracle Data Integrator provides a unified infrastructure to streamline data
and application integration projects.

Here are the key reasons why companies choose Oracle Data Integrator for their data integration
needs:

Faster and simpler development and maintenance: The declarative rules driven approach to data
integration greatly reduces the learning curve of the product and increases developer productivity
while facilitating ongoing maintenance. This approach separates the definition of the processes from
their actual implementation, and separates the declarative rules (the "what") from the data flows
(the "how").

Data quality firewall: Oracle Data Integrator ensures that faulty data is automatically detected and
recycled before insertion in the target application. This is performed without the need for
programming, following the data integrity rules and constraints defined both on the target
application and in Oracle Data Integrator.

Better execution performance: traditional data integration software (ETL) is based on proprietary
engines that perform data transformations row by row, thus limiting performance. By implementing
an E-LT architecture, based on your existing RDBMS engines and SQL, you are capable of executing
data transformations on the target server at a set-based level, giving you much higher performance.

Simpler and more efficient architecture: the E-LT architecture removes the need for an ETL
Server sitting between the sources and the target server. It utilizes the source and target servers to

perform complex transformations, most of which happen in batch mode when the server is not busy
processing end-user queries.

Platform Independence: Oracle Data Integrator supports all platforms, hardware and OSs with the
same software.

Data Connectivity: Oracle Data Integrator supports all RDBMSs including all leading Data
Warehousing platforms such as Oracle, Exadata, Teradata, IBM DB2, Netezza, Sybase IQ and
numerous other technologies such as flat files, ERPs, LDAP, XML.

Cost-savings: the elimination of the ETL Server and ETL engine reduces both the initial hardware
and software acquisition and maintenance costs. The reduced learning curve and increased
developer productivity significantly reduce the overall labor costs of the project, as well as the cost of
ongoing enhancements.

Oracle Data Integrator Component Architecture:

The Oracle Data Integrator platform integrates in the broader Fusion Middleware platform and
becomes a key component of this stack. Oracle Data Integrator provides its run-time components as
Java EE applications, enhanced to fully leverage the capabilities of the Oracle WebLogic Application
Server. Oracle Data Integrator components include exclusive features for Enterprise-Scale
Deployments, high availability, scalability, and hardened security.

Repositories:

The central component of the architecture is the Oracle Data Integrator Repository. It stores
configuration information about the IT infrastructure, metadata of all applications, projects,
scenarios, and the execution logs. The Oracle Data Integrator Repository is composed of one Master
Repository and several Work Repositories. Objects developed or configured through the user
interfaces are stored in one of these repository types.

There is usually only one master repository that stores the following information:

1) Security information including users, profiles and rights for the ODI platform
2) Topology information including technologies, server definitions, schemas, contexts, languages and
so forth.
3) Versioned and archived objects.

The work repository is the one that contains actual developed objects. Several work repositories
may coexist in the same ODI installation (for example, to have separate environments or to match a
particular versioning life cycle). A Work Repository stores information for:

1) Models, including schema definition, data stores structures and metadata, fields and columns
definitions, data quality constraints, cross references, data lineage and so forth.
2) Projects, including business rules, packages, procedures, folders, Knowledge Modules, variables
and so forth.
3) Scenario execution, including scenarios, scheduling information and logs.

When the Work Repository contains only the execution information (typically for production
purposes), it is then called an Execution Repository.

ODI Studio and User Interfaces:

Administrators, Developers and Operators use the Oracle Data Integrator Studio to access the
repositories. ODI Studio provides four Navigators for managing the different aspects and steps of an
ODI integration project:

1) Designer Navigator is used to design data integrity checks and to build transformations such
as for example:
• Automatic reverse-engineering of existing applications or databases
• Graphical development and maintenance of transformation and integration interfaces
• Visualization of data flows in the interfaces
• Automatic documentation generation
• Customization of the generated code

Business Intelligence Solution Providers http://www. learnhyperion.wordpress.com 5

 2) Operator Navigator is the production management and monitoring tool. It is designed for IT
production operators. Through Operator Navigator, you can manage your interface
executions in the sessions, as well as the scenarios in production.

3) Topology Navigator is used to manage the data describing the information system's physical
and logical architecture. Through Topology Navigator you can manage the topology of your
information system, the technologies and their datatypes, the data servers linked to these
technologies and the schemas they contain, the contexts, the languages and the agents, as well
as the repositories. The site, machine, and data server descriptions will enable Oracle Data
Integrator to execute the same integration interfaces in different physical environments.

4) Security Navigator is the tool for managing the security information in Oracle Data
Integrator. Through Security Navigator you can create users and profiles and assign user
rights for methods (edit, delete, etc) on generic objects (data server, datatypes, etc), and fine-
tune these rights on the object instances (Server 1, Server 2, and so forth).

Run-Time Agent:
At design time, developers generate scenarios from the business rules that they have designed. The
code of these scenarios is then retrieved from the repository by the Run-Time Agent. This agent then
connects to the data servers and orchestrates the code execution on these servers. It retrieves the
return codes and messages for the execution, as well as additional logging information – such as the
number of processed records, execution time and so forth - in the Repository.

The Agent comes in two different flavors:

• The Java EE Agent can be deployed as a web application and benefit from the features of an
application server.
• The Standalone Agent runs in a simple Java Machine and can be deployed where needed to
perform the integration flows.

Oracle Data Integrator Console:

Business users (as well as developers, administrators and operators), can have read access to the
repository, perform topology configuration and production operations through a web based UI called
Oracle Data Integrator Console. This web application can deployed in a Java EE application server
such as Oracle WebLogic.
To manage and monitor the Java EE and Standalone Agents as well as the ODI Console, Oracle Data
Integrator provides a new plug-in that integrates in Oracle Fusion Middleware Control Console.

 Configuring and Deploying the ODI Console

Oracle Data Integrator Console:

The new Oracle Data Integrator Console replaces and unifies the former 10g Metadata Navigator and
Lightweight Designer components. This web interface for production operations has been rewritten
using the ADF-Faces Ajax Framework for a rich user experience.

Using this console, production users can set up an environment, export and import the repositories,
manage run-time operations, monitor the sessions, diagnose the errors, browse design-time artifacts
and generate lineage reports.

This web interface integrates seamlessly with Oracle Fusion Middleware Control Console and allows
Fusion Middleware administrators to drill down into the details of any Oracle Data Integrator design-
time and run-time object.

Pre Requisite:
1) Oracle Data Integrator 11g (11.1.1) installed on client machine.
