Overview of this book

Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is Oracle's strategic data integration platform for high-speed data transformation and movement between different systems. From high-volume, SOA-enabled data services, to trickle operations ñ ODI is a cutting-edge platform that offers heterogeneous connectivity, enterprise-level deployment, and strong administrative, diagnostic, and management capabilities. "Getting Started with Oracle Data Integrator 11g: A Hands-On Tutorial" provides you with everything you to get up and running with Oracle Data Integrator, and more! Following an example scenario, the book covers essential information about the ODI architecture and using ODI across different databases (Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL), and file types such as XML, before covering Orchestrating Data Integration Workflows, Error Management, Operational Management and Monitoring, and beyond. "Getting Started with Oracle Data Integrator 11g: A Hands-On Tutorial" begins by describing the Oracle Data Integrator architecture and teaching you to install the product following best practices. You'll then be introduced to some of the key concepts of ODI such as the Knowledge Modules. Later topics include moving and transforming data from sources to targets including the Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Flat files, and XML files, each with illustrated hands-on examples for the different technologies. Your learning experience will be made all the more rich with chapters introducing, explaining and leveraging additional ODI functionality such as variables, reusable procedures, temporary indexes and more. Finally ODI's workflow and task orchestration capabilities are explained before introducing you to Error Management with ODI's built-in 'error hospital' and 'error recycling' capabilities for non-compliant data, not to mention tackling ODI Studio, ODI Console and Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.

Summary


Here's what we've covered in this chapter:

  • We've learned about the FILE_GENERIC data server and what we'd need to look out for when using different character sets in files

  • We've seen how to reverse-engineer metadata from both fixed format and delimited files and how the two methods differ

  • We've used an Oracle External Table without having to learn the detailed database syntax to achieve this, because the Knowledge Module we used encapsulated all that expertise and made it easily reusable

  • We also saw that there are still circumstances (such as setting the necessary database permissions) when some additional preparatory work is needed before we can use platform-specific Knowledge Modules

We've integrated data from a flat file into a database. Next we're going to deal with a form of file that has massively growing significance in the business IT world, namely XML files.
