1 Oracle Data Integrator Overview

This chapter provides an introduction to Oracle Data Integrator, the technical architecture,
and the contents of this Getting Started guide.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Section 1.1, "Introduction to Oracle Data Integrator"
Section 1.2, "Oracle Data Integrator Component Architecture"
Section 1.3, "Get Started with Oracle Data Integrator"
1.1
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.
1.1.1 The Business Problem

In today's increasingly fast-paced business environment, organizations need to use more
specialized software applications; they also need to ensure the coexistence of these
applications on heterogeneous hardware platforms and systems and guarantee the ability to
share data between applications and systems. Projects that implement these integration
requirements need to be delivered on-spec, on-time and on-budget.
1.1.2 A Unique Solution

Oracle Data Integrator employs a powerful declarative design approach to data integration,
which separates the declarative rules from the implementation details. Oracle Data
Integrator is also based on a unique E-LT (Extract - Load Transform) architecture which
eliminates the need for a standalone ETL server and proprietary engine, and instead
leverages the inherent power of your RDBMS engines. This combination provides the
greatest productivity for both development and maintenance, and the highest performance
for the execution of data transformation and validation processes.
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.
1.2
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 many platforms, hardware and
OSs with the same software.
Data Connectivity: Oracle Data Integrator supports many RDBMSs including leading
Data Warehousing platforms such as Oracle, Exadata, Teradata, IBM DB2, Netezza and
numerous other technologies such as Big Data, 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.
ODI 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. Figure
11 shows the ODI component architecture.
Figure 11 Oracle Data Integrator Component Architecture
1.2.1 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. Many instances of the repository can coexist in the IT
infrastructure, for example Development, QA, User Acceptance, and Production. The architecture
of the repository is designed to allow several separated environments that exchange metadata
and scenarios (for example: Development, Test, Maintenance and Production environments).
The repository also acts as a version control system where objects are archived and assigned a
version number.
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:
Security information including users, profiles and rights for the ODI platform
Topology information including technologies, server definitions, schemas, contexts,
languages and so forth.
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:
Models, including schema definition, datastores structures and metadata, fields and
columns definitions, data quality constraints, cross references, data lineage and so forth.
Projects, including business rules, packages, procedures, folders, Knowledge Modules,
variables and so forth.
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.
1.2.2 ODI Studio and User Interfaces

Administrators, Developers and Operators use the Oracle Data Integrator Studio to access the
repositories. This user interface is used for administering the infrastructure (security and
topology), reverse-engineering the metadata, developing projects, scheduling, operating and
monitoring executions.
ODI Studio provides four Navigators for managing the different aspects and steps of an ODI
integration project:
Designer Navigator is used to design data integrity checks and to build transformations such
as for example:
o
Automatic reverse-engineering of existing applications or databases
Graphical development and maintenance of transformation mappings
Visualization of data flows in the mappings
Automatic documentation generation
Customization of the generated code
10
Operator Navigator is the production management and monitoring tool. It is designed for IT
production operators. Through Operator Navigator, you can manage your mapping
executions in the sessions, as well as the scenarios in production.
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 mappings in different physical environments.
Security Navigator is the tool for managing the security information in Oracle Data
Integrator. Through Security Navigator you can create users, roles 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, etc).
Oracle Data Integrator also provides a Java API for performing all these run-time and designtime operations. This Oracle Data Integrator Software Development Kit (SDK) is available for
standalone Java applications and application servers.
1.2.3 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 three different flavors:
Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) Agents are deployed on Oracle WebLogic Server
and can benefit from the application server layer features such as clustering for High
Availability requirements. Java EE Agents can be managed using Oracle Enterprise
Manager.
Standalone Agents can be installed on the source or target systems and require a
Java Virtual Machine.
Colocated Standalone Agents can be installed on the source or target systems as

well. They can be managed using Oracle Enterprise Manager and must be
configured with an Oracle WebLogic domain. Colocated Standalone Agents can run
on a separate machine from the Oracle WebLogic Administration Server
These agents are multi-threaded java programs that support load balancing and can be
distributed across the information system. The Agent holds its own execution schedule which
can be defined in Oracle Data Integrator, and can also be called from an external scheduler. It
can also be invoked from a Java API or a web service interface.
To manage and monitor the Java EE and Colocated Standalone Agents as well as the ODI
Console, Oracle Data Integrator provides a plug-in that integrates with Oracle Enterprise
Manager Cloud Control as well as Oracle Fusion Middleware Control Console.
11
1.2.4 Management Pack for Oracle Data Integrator

The Management Pack for Oracle Data Integrator leverages Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud
Control best-in-class application performance management, service level management and
configuration management capabilities to provide a centralized management solution for
Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition.
For more information about the Management Pack for Oracle Data Integrator, please visit the
following link: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/middleware/dataintegration/management-pack-for-odi/overview/index.html
1.2.5 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 be deployed in Oracle
WebLogic Server.
1.2.6 Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control

Fusion Middleware Control organizes a wide variety of performance data and administrative
functions into distinct, Web-based home pages for the farm, cluster, domain, servers,
components, and applications. The Fusion Middleware Control home pages make it easy to
locate the most important monitoring data and the most commonly used administrative
functions all from your Web browser.

metadata associated with the environment and the ODI objects created (such as mappings,
models, data stores.). ODI uses master and work repositories to manage ODI metadata
between environments, such as development, test and production. For the purpose of the
demo, both a master and work repository will be created.
The ODI Repositories are created via either the repository creation utility (RCU) or via the
ODI Studio client. For the purpose of the Getting Started demonstration, ODI Studio will be
used to create the repositories.
2.4.1 Repository Requirements

The Oracle Data Integrator Repository is stored within a relational database. The getting
started environment leverages the Oracle RDBMS for the underlying location for the
repository. To move forward, a user needs to be created to store and manage the repository.
The Getting Started environment leverages the user prod_odi_repo (which needs to be
created), to store the ODI Master and Work Repositories.
User-ID:
Password:
prod_odi_repo
oracle
If using SQL Plus, sample syntax for creating this new user is:
SQL> create user prod_odi_repo identified by oracle;
18
Depending on your database configuration, you may also wish to create a new tablespace and
associate the user prod_odi_repo to it.
A second user will need to be created for the demonstration data as well. The odi_demo user
will store the demonstration sample data and is referenced in the ODI Topology and Model
metadata.
User-ID:
Password:
odi_demo
oracle
If using SQL Plus, sample syntax for creating this new user is:
SQL> create user odi_demo identified by oracle;
2.4.2 Create the Master Repository

Creating ODI repositories starts with the Master Repository. Following are the steps needed
to complete the Master Repository creation.

3 Working with the ETL Project

This chapter provides an introduction to the ETL (Extract Transform Load) project that is
delivered in the demonstration environment with Oracle Data Integrator Studio.
Section 3.1, "The Example Environment"
Section 3.2, "The Data Models"
Section 3.3, "Integration Challenges"
3.1 The Example Environment

The Demo project is an example to help you understand how to transform and check the
integrity of the data in your information systems.
The examples in this getting started guide track sales from various heterogeneous data
sources issued from the production systems. Figure 31 shows the example environment.
Figure 31 Example Environment
The example environment uses the following elements:
The Repository: The Repository contains all of the metadata required for the
getting started demo examples.
Orders Application: An application for tracking customer orders, hosted in the

Oracle database (the "srcdemo" sample).
Parameters: Flat files (ASCII) issued from the production system containing a list of sales
representatives and the segmentation of ages into age ranges.
30
Sales Administration: The administration or tracking of sales, hosted in another

Oracle database (the "trgdemo" sample). This data warehouse is populated with our
transformations.
3.2 The Data Models

The demonstration environment includes three ODI data models:
Orders Application
Parameters
Sales Administration
This section provides the schema diagrams for these data models.
3.2.1 Orders Application

The Orders Application data model is based on the Oracle RDBMS technology and includes six
datastores:
SRC_CITY
SRC_CUSTOMER
SRC_ORDERS
SRC_ORDER_LINES
SRC_PRODUCT
SRC_REGION
Figure 32 shows the schema diagram of this data model.

Note that this data model does not enforce any foreign key constraints, even if some
functional relations exist between the data.
Figure 32 Orders Application Schema Diagram
3.2.2 Parameters
The Parameters data model is based on the File technology and includes two datastores:
SRC_SALES _PERSON
SRC_AGE_GROUP
31

Figure 33 Parameters Schema Diagram
3.2.3 Sales Administration Oracle

The Sales Administration data model is based on the Oracle RDBMS technology and includes
seven datastores:
TRG_CITY
TRG_COUNTRY
TRG_CUSTOMER
TRG_PRODUCT
TRG_PROD_FAMILY
TRG_REGION
TRG_SALES

Figure 34 Sales Administration Schema Diagram

3.3 Integration Challenges

The challenges common to all data integration and transformation projects are:
Accurately and easily exchanging data between your applications while respecting
the business rules of your information system
Automate end to end process flows
Visibility over the entire set of data integration processes
The examples used in this guide illustrate how to address these issues. During this getting
started guide, you will learn how to:
Create mappings to move and transform data
Two simple examples will show you how to improve productivity by loading the data
from Orders Application and Parameters into the Sales Administration data warehouse.
Automate the execution of these mappings into packages
This part of the Getting Started guide will show you how to automate your Oracle Data
Integrator processes. The aim of this exercise is to load the entire Sales Administration data
warehouse with a single click.
Execute the package and review the execution results
You will learn how to execute the Load Sales Administration package and the mappings
Load TRG_CUSTOMERand Load TRG_SALES you have created and how to review the
results of these executions.
Prepare the developed components for deployment
You will learn how to run the Load Sales Administration package automatically in a
production environment.
Implement Data Quality Control to check data in a database
By implementing two examples, you will learn how Oracle Data Integrator enables you to
ensure the quality of the data in your applications while segregating invalid rows. The
Orders Application tables contain a number of data inconsistencies that you will detect.
Note: In this guide, we will be looking at processes that focus on ETL. While it is
beyond the scope of this document, implementing different integration patterns
(real-time, for example) can be carried out in the same fashion. For more
information on this, see the Oracle Data Integrator documentation after completing
this guide.
Now that you have been introduced to the concepts of the Demo Project and its components,
you can move on to Introduction to using ODI Studio.
33
4 Introduction to Using Oracle Data Integrator Studio

This chapter describes the first steps towards using Oracle Data Integrator Studio.
4.1 Using the ODI Studio Navigators

ODI Studio provides four Navigators for managing the different aspects and steps of an
ODI integration project:
Designer Navigator
Operator Navigator
Topology Navigator
Security Navigator
The tasks performed in this getting started guide take place in Designer Navigator (to create
and execute your developments) and in Operator Navigator (to monitor the execution of
your developments). This section only describes the Navigators that are used in this getting
started guide. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Data Integrator for
information about the Topology and Security Navigators.
4.1.1 Starting Oracle Data Integrator Studio

This section describes how to start Oracle Data Integrator Studio. You can skip to section
4.2 if you have already started ODI Studio.
To launch ODI Studio:
On Unix operating systems:
ODI_HOME/odi/studio/odi.sh
On Windows operating systems:
ODI_HOME\odi\studio\odi.exe
Note: On Windows, you can launch ODI Studio from the Start menu:
On the Start menu, select All Programs > Oracle > Oracle Data
Integrator > ODI Studio.
Upon launching Studio the first time, you will be prompted with an Import Preferences
screen. Proceed to click No.
34
The ODI Studio client will continue to load. Click on Connect to Repository then ensure the
Login Name is set to ODI Getting Started and click OK.
4.2 Designer Navigator

Designer Navigator is used to manage metadata, to design data integrity checks, and to
build transformations.
The main objects you handle through Designer Navigator are models and projects.
The data models for your applications contain all of the metadata in your data
servers (tables, columns, constraints, descriptions, cross-references, etc.)
The projects contain all of the loading and transformation rules for your data servers
(mappings, procedures, variables, etc.)
The Designer Navigator appears as shown in Figure 42.
Figure 42 Designer Navigator
35
The Designer Navigator has the following accordions:

Projects
Models
Load Plans and Scenarios
Global Objects
Solutions
The Projects accordion contains the developments made

with Designer Navigator.
The Models accordion contains the descriptions of the
data and applications structures.
The Load Plan and Scenarios accordion contains
generated code and executable objects.
The Global Objects accordion contains the Global User
Functions, Variables, Markers, and Sequences.
The Solutions accordion contains the Solutions that have
36
been created when working with version management.
The demonstration import files provide the objects you will need in this Getting Started
guide:
In the Models accordion, you will find all the data models corresponding to the
Orders Application, Parameters and Sales Administration applications.
In the Projects accordion, you will find the Demo project and the Sales
Administration folder which already contains several mappings. You will develop
your new mappings in this folder.
The necessary Knowledge Modules (KM) are already imported in the Demo Project:
LKM SQL to SQL (Built-In)
CKM Oracle
IKM Oracle Incremental Update
4.3 Operator Navigator

Operator Navigator is the management and monitoring tool. It is designed for IT operators
and can be used by developers to check code execution and perform debugging operations.
Through Operator Navigator, you can manage your development executions in the
sessions, as well as the scenarios.
The Operator Navigator has the following accordions:
Session List
Hierarchical Sessions
Load Plan Executions

Scheduling
Load Plans and Scenarios
Solutions
The Session List accordion displays all sessions

organized per date, physical agent, status,
keywords, and so forth.
The Hierarchical Sessions accordion displays the
execution sessions organized in a hierarchy with
their child sessions.
The Load Plan Executions displays the Load Plan
Runs of the Load Plan instances
The Scheduling accordion displays the list of
physical agents and schedules.
The Scenarios accordion displays the list of scenarios
available
The Solutions accordion contains the Solutions that
have been created when working with version
management.

5 Working with Mappings

This chapter describes how to work with mappings in Oracle Data Integrator. The
demonstration environment includes several example mappings. In this chapter you will
learn how to create the following mappings:
Load TRG_CUSTOMER: This mapping loads the data from the SRC_CUSTOMER table
in the Orders Application model into the TRG_ CUSTOMER target table in the Sales
Administration model.
Load TRG_SALES: This mapping loads the data from the SRC_ ORDERS table and from
the SRC_ORDER_LINES table in the Orders Application model into the TRG_SALES target
table in the Sales Administration model.
Section 5.1, "Load TRG_CUSTOMER Mapping Example"
Section 5.2, "Load TRG_SALES Mapping Example"
5.1 Load TRG_CUSTOMER Mapping Example

Purpose and Integration Requirements
Mapping Definition
Creating the Mapping
5.1.1 Purpose and Integration Requirements

This section describes the integration features and requirements the mapping Load
TRG_CUSTOMER is expected to meet.
The purpose of the Load TRG_CUSTOMER mapping is to load the data from the SRC_
CUSTOMER table in the Orders Application model into the TRG_CUSTOMER target table in
the Sales Administration model.
However, the SRC_CUSTOMER table does not contain all of the data that is required for
this operation. The following information has to be added to the target table:
The age range (AGE_RANGE) that is defined in the SRC_AGE_GROUP flat file in the
Parameters model corresponds to the AGE attribute in the source table.
The last and first names of the customer sales rep. (LAST_NAME and FIRST_ NAME)
that is defined in the SRC_SALES_PERSON file in the Parameters model correspond to the
sales representative ID (SALES_PERS_ID) in the source table.
38
The transformed value of the numeric data (0, 1, 2) from the DEAR column in the source
table into an standard salutation text string in the target (Mr, Mrs, or Ms).
The concatenated first and last names of the source customers.
The source data is not always consistent with the integrity rules implemented in the target
environment. For this mapping, the data has to be cleansed by verifying that all constraints
are satisfied and by storing invalid rows in an error table rather than in our target database.
In this example, two important integrity rules must be satisfied:
Customers must be older than 21 (condition AGE > 21)
The customers must be associated with a city (CITY_ID) that exists in the TRG_ CITY
table (reference FK_CUST_CITY)
The functional details for these rules and the procedure to follow are given in
Section 5.1.3, "Creating the Mapping".
5.1.2 Mapping Definition

This section describes the mapping Load TRG_CUSTOMER that will be created in this
example. See Section 5.1.3, "Creating the Mapping" for more information.
The Load TRG_CUSTOMER mapping uses the following data and transformations:
One target datastore. Table 51 lists the details of the target datastore.

5.1.3 Creating the Mapping

This section describes how to create the Load TRG_CUSTOMER mapping. To create the
Load TRG_CUSTOMER mapping perform the following procedure:
1. Insert a New Mapping
2. Define the Target Datastore
3. Define the Source Datastores
4. Define the Lookup Table
5. Define the Join between the Source Datastores
6. Define the Mappings
7. Define the Data Loading Strategies (LKM)
8. Define the Data Integration Strategies (IKM)
9. Define the Data Control Strategy
5.1.3.1
Insert a New Mapping

To create a new mapping:
1. In Designer Navigator, expand the Demo project node in the Projects accordion.
2. Expand the Sales Administration node.
3. In the Sales Administration folder, right-click the Mapping node and select New
Mapping as shown in Figure 51.

Figure 51 Insert New Mapping
The Mapping Editor is displayed.

4.
Enter the name of your mapping (Load TRG_CUSTOMER) in the Name field as shown in
Figure 52.
41
Figure 52 Mapping Editor
Ensure the Create Empty Dataset option is not selected.
5.1.3.2
Define the Target

The target is the element that will be loaded by the mapping.
To insert the target in the Load TRG_CUSTOMER mapping:
1. Verify you are in the Logical tab of the Mapping Editor.
2. In the Designer Navigator, expand the Models accordion and the Sales
Administration model.
3. Select TRG_CUSTOMER datastore under the Sales Administration model
and drag it into the mapping editor as shown in Figure 5-3.
Figure 53 Selecting the Target
42
5.1.3.3
Define the Source

The source datastores contain data used to load the target datastore. Two types of datastores
can be used as a mapping source: datastores from the models and reusable mappings. This
example uses datastores from the Orders Application and Parameters models.
To add source datastores to the Load TRG_CUSTOMER mapping:
1. Under models, drag the following source datastores into the Source Diagram:
SRC_CUSTOMER from the Orders Application model
SRC_SALES_PERSON from the Parameters model
2. The Mapping should look like shown in Figure 54.
Figure 54 Adding Data Stores to a Mapping
5.1.3.4
Define the Lookup

This section describes how to create a lookup that defines that the customer's age must be
between the minimum and maximum ages in the file.
A lookup is a datastore (from a model or the target datastore of a map) - called the lookup
table - associated to a source datastore - the driving table - via a join expression and from
which data can be fetched and used in mappings.
Lookup tables are added with the Lookup Component.
To create a lookup in the Load TRG_CUSTOMERmapping:
1. From the Components panel, drag Lookup into the mapping as shown in
Figure 55 below.
43
Figure 55 Insert a Lookup
2. From the Parameters model, drag the SRC_AGE_GROUP datastore into the Mapping. The
SRC_AGE_GROUP datastore will be used as a lookup table.

3. Drag the following source columns into the Lookup:
Age from the SRC_CUSTOMER source datastore

AGE_MIN from the SRC_AGE_GROUP datastore
AGE_MAX from the SRC_AGE_GROUP datastore
Figure 5-6 Select the lookup sources
44
4. Select the LOOKUP, click Condition in the LOOKUP Properties as in Figure 5-7.
Figure 5-7 Lookup Condition
5.
Modify the Condition by replacing the = with the string between. You should
have the following in the Lookup Condition
SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE between SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN and

SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX
This corresponds to a join between the SRC_CUSTOMER and the SRC_AGE_ GROUP
datastore and defines that the customer's age must between the minimum and maximum ages
in the file.

5.1.3.5
Define the Join between the Source Datastores

1.
2.
3.
This section describes how to define a join between the source datastores. To
create the join defined in Table 59:
Drag the JOIN component into the mapping.
In the mapping, drag the SALES_PERS_ID column from the SRC_ CUSTOMER
datastore into the JOIN.
In the mapping, drag the SALES_PERS_ID column from the SRC_SALES_PERSON
datastore into the join.

5.1.3.6
Define the Target Expressions

The following columns are mapped in this section: CUST_ID, DEAR, CUST_ NAME,
AGE_RANGE, SALES_PERS, CRE_DATE and UPD_DATE.
To Auto Map from the sources to the target, the connector points need to be dragged and
dropped between components.
1. From the JOIN component, drag the connector point, holding and dragging to the target
input connector point. An Attribute matching dialog is displayed, keep the defaults and
click OK.
Figure 511 Attribute Matching
The transformation rules, defined as expressions, are listed on the target column.
Following are the steps to complete the custom mappings.
Click on the TRG_CUSTOMER datastore in the mapping to display the properties.
Figure 512 TRG_CUSTOMER Properties
47
CUST_ID Mapping Expression

The CUST_ID mapping expression maps the SRC_CUSTOMER.CUSTID source column to
the TRG_CUSTOMER.CUST_ID target column. Note that these 2 columns have not been
automatically mapped, since their names are slightly different.
To define the expression for the CUST_ID target column:
1. In the SRC_CUSTOMER data source, select the CUSTID column.
2. Drag it into the CUST_ID field in the Target Datastore as shown in
Figure 513.
Figure 513 CUST_ID Mapping Expression
3. Select the mapped field, CUST_ID in the Target Datastore to display its properties in the
Property Inspector.
DEAR Mapping Expression
This transformation rule maps the source datastore's DEAR column (numeric) as a string
expression (0 -->'MR', 1 -->'MRS', 2 -->'MS').
To define the expression for the DEAR target column:
1. In the Target Datastore, select the DEAR target column to display the mapping
properties in the Property Inspector.
2. In the Expression field, enter the following mapping expression:
CASE
WHEN SRC_CUSTOMER.DEAR = 0 THEN 'Mr'
WHEN SRC_CUSTOMER.DEAR = 1 THEN 'Mrs'
ELSE 'Ms'
END
48
Tip: You can drag source columns, for example the SRC_ CUSTOMER.DEAR column, into
the Expression field. You can also use the Expression Editor.
CUST_NAME Mapping Expression

This transformation rule maps the concatenated value of the first name and uppercase last
name of each customer.
To define the expression for the CUST_NAME target column:
1. In the Target Datastore, select CUST_NAME to display the mapping properties in the
Property Inspector.
2.
In the Expression field, enter the following mapping expression:
SRC_CUSTOMER.FIRST_NAME || ' ' || UPPER(SRC_CUSTOMER.LAST_NAME)

Tip: Use the Expression Editor to create this rule. By using the Expression Editor,
you can avoid most common syntax errors.

AGE_RANGE Mapping Expression
This mapping expression maps the SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_RANGE to the TRG_
CUSTOMER.AGE_RANGE and is already defined.
1.
In the Target Datastore, select AGE_RANGE to display the mapping properties in the
Property Inspector.
2.
In the Expression field, the following mapping expression should appear:
SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_RANGE
Tip: Auto-completion functions are available in ODI Studio. In the Expression, type SRC_ and
then press <CTRL-SPACE>, a pop-up window displays available fields as shown in Figure 515.
Figure 5-15 Auto-completion
You can also drag and drop the AGE_RANGE column from SRC_AGE_GROUP into
AGE_RANGE in TRG_CUSTOMER.
SALES_PERS Mapping Expression
This will map the concatenated value of the first name and uppercase last name of each
salesperson.
To define the mapping expression for the SALES_PERS target column:
49
1. In the Target Datastore, select SALES_PERS to display the mapping properties in the
Property Inspector.
2. In the Expression field, enter the following mapping expression:
SRC_SALES_PERSON.FIRST_NAME || ' ' ||

UPPER(SRC_SALES_PERSON.LAST_NAME)
CRE_DATE Mapping Expression
To define the mapping expression for the CRE_DATE target column:
1. In the Target Datastore, select CRE_DATE to display the mapping properties in the
Property Inspector.
2. In the Expression field, enter the following mapping expression: SYSDATE
3. Verify that Active is selected.
4. Unselect Update. The mapping will be performed only on Insert.
5. The Property Inspector of the CRE_DATE attribute appears as shown in
Figure 516.
Figure 516 Property Inspector of the CRE_DATE Mapping
UPD_DATE Mapping Expression

To define the mapping expression for the UPD_DATE target column:
1. In the Target Datastore, select UPD_DATE to display the attribute properties in the
Property Inspector.
2. In the Expression field, enter the following mapping expression: SYSDATE
3. Verify that Active Mapping is selected.
4. Unselect Insert. The mapping expression will be performed only on Update.
Notes on the Expression Editor

The Expression Editor that is used to build the Expressions does not contain all the
functions specific to a technology. It contains only functions that are common to a large
number of technologies. The fact that a function does not appear in the Expression Editor
does not prevent it from being entered manually and used in an Expression.
50
If you were to execute this mapping on the target using the Execute on Hint field, the
Expression Editor would give you the syntax for your target system.
The Target Datastore Panel
Your transformation rules appear in the Target Datastore Attributes panel as shown in
Figure 517.
Figure 517 Target Datastore Mappings
Set the Integration Type

Finally click on TRG_CUSTOMER datastore in the Mapping and in the Properties panel under
Target set the Integration Type to Incremental Update.
5.1.3.7
Define the Data Loading Strategies (LKM)

The data loading strategies are defined in the Physical tab of the Mapping Editor. Oracle
Data Integrator automatically computes the flow depending on the configuration in the
mapping's diagram. It proposes default KMs for the data flow. The Physical tab enables you
to view the data flow and select the KMs used to load and integrate data.
Loading Knowledge Modules (LKM) are used for loading strategies and Integration
Knowledge Modules (IKM) are used for integration strategies.
You have to define the way to retrieve the data from the SRC_AGE_GROUP, SRC_
SALES_PERSON files and from the SRC_CUSTOMER table in your source environment.
To define the loading strategies:
1. In the Physical tab of the Mapping Editor, select the access point that corresponds to the
loading of the SRC_AGE_GROUP, SRC_SALES_PERSON files. In this example, this is the

SRC_AGE_GROUP_AP and SRC_SALES_PERSON_AP. The Property Inspector should
display the properties of the access points.
2. In the Property Inspector, verify that the LKM SQL to SQL (Built-In) is selected in the
Loading Knowledge Module Selector list as shown in Figure 518.
51
Figure 518 Physical tab of the Load TRG_CUSTOMER Mapping Editor
5.1.3.8
Define the Data Integration Strategies (IKM)

After defining the loading phase, you need to define the strategy to adopt for the integration
of the data into the target table.
To define the integration strategies:
1. In the Physical tab of the Mapping Editor, select TRG_CUSTOMER in the
TARGET_GROUP object. The Property Inspector will display the properties of the target.
2. In the Property Inspector, set the IKM to IKM Oracle Incremental Update in the
Integration Knowledge Module Selector list. If this IKM is not in the list, make sure you have
correctly set the Target Integration Type to Incremental Update in the Logical panel.
3. In the knowledge module options, leave the default values. The Property Inspector
appears as shown in Figure 519.
52
Figure 519 Property Inspector for Target Area of Load TRG_CUSTOMER
Note: Only the built-in Knowledge Modules or the ones you imported to your
Project appear in the KM Selector lists. The demonstration environment already

includes the Knowledge Modules required for the getting started examples. You
do not need to import KMs into the demonstration Project.
For more information on importing KMs into your Projects, see "Importing a
KM" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Data Integrator.
5.1.3.9
Define the Data Control Strategy

In Section 5.1.3.7, "Define the Data Loading Strategies (LKM)" and Section 5.1.3.8, "Define
the Data Integration Strategies (IKM)" you have specified the data flow from the source to
the target. You must now define how to check your data (CKM) and the constraints and
rules that must be satisfied before integrating the data.
To define the data control strategy:
1. In the Mapping Physical tab under the TRG_CUSTOMER Properties, select Check
Knowledge Module, verify that the CKM Oracle is selected for Check Knowledge Module.
2. In the Logical view, select the target datastore TRG_CUSTOMER and verify the Constraints
panel. Set the constraints that you wish to verify to true.
53
PK_TRG_CUSTOMER
FK_CUST_CITY
The Constraints tab appears as shown in Figure 520

3. From File main menu, select Save.
The Load TRG_CUSTOMER mapping is now ready to be run.
5.2 Load TRG_SALES Mapping Example

Purpose and Integration Requirements
Mapping Definition
Creating the Mapping
5.2.1 Purpose and Integration Requirements

This section describes the integration features and requirements the mapping Load
TRG_SALES is expected to meet.
The purpose of this mapping is to load the SRC_ORDERS table of orders and the SRC_
ORDER_LINES table of order lines from the Orders Application model into the TRG_SALES
target table in the Sales Administration model. The data must be aggregated before it is
integrated into the target table. Only orders whose status is CLO are to be used.
However, the source data is not always consistent with the integrity rules present in the
target environment. For this transformation, we want to cleanse the data by verifying that
all of the constraints are satisfied. We want to place any invalid rows into an error table
rather that into our target database. In our case, two important integrity rules must be
satisfied:
The sales must be associated with a product (PRODUCT_ID) that exists in the
TRG_PRODUCT table (reference FK_SALES_PROD
The sales must be associated with a customer (CUST_ID) that exists in the TRG_
CUSTOMER table (reference FK_SALES_CUST
The functional details for these rules and the procedure to follow are given in Section 5.2.3,
"Creating the Mapping".
54
5.2.2 Mapping Definition

This section describes the mapping Load TRG_SALES that will be created in this example.
See Section 5.2.3, "Creating the Mapping" for more information.
The Load TRG_SALES mapping uses the following data and transformations:

5.2.3 Creating the Mapping

This section describes how to create the Load TRG_SALES mapping. To create the Load
TRG_SALES mapping perform the following procedure:
1. Insert a Mapping
2. Define the Target Datastore
3. Define the Source Datastores
4. Define Joins between the Source Datastores
5. Define the Order Filter
6. Define the Transformation Rules
7. Define the Data Loading Strategies (LKM)
8. Define the Data Integration Strategies (IKM)
9. Define the Data Control Strategy
5.2.3.1
Insert a New Mapping

To create a new mapping:
3. In the Sales Administration folder, right-click the Mappings node and select New
Mapping.
4. Enter the name of your mapping (Load TRG_SALES) in the Name field. Create Empty
Dataset should be unchecked.
56
5.2.3.2
Define the Target Datastore

To insert the target datastore in the Load TRG_SALES mapping:
1. Go to the Logical tab of the Mapping Editor.
2. In the Designer Navigator, expand the Models accordion and the Sales Administration
model.
3. Select the TRG_SALES datastore under the Sales Administration model and drag it into
the mapping.
5.2.3.3
Define the Source Datastores

The Load TRG_SALES mapping example uses datastores from the Orders Application model.
To add source datastores to the Load TRG_SALES mapping:
1. In the Mapping tab, drag the following source datastores into the Source Diagram:
SRC_ORDERS from the Orders Application model

SRC_ORDER_LINES from the Orders Application model
Figure 5-21 Load TRG_SALES Mapping
5.2.3.4
Define the Order Filter

In this example, only completed orders should be retrieved. A filter needs to be
defined on the SRC_ORDERS datastore.
To define the filter:
1. In the mapping, select the STATUS column of the SRC_ORDERS datastore and drag it
onto the Source Diagram.

2. The filter appears as shown in Figure 522.
57
Figure 522 Filter on SRC_ORDERS
3. Select the filter in the Source Diagram to display the filter properties in the
Property Inspector.
4. In the Condition tab of the Property Inspector, modify the filter rule by typing:
SRC_ORDERS.STATUS = 'CLO'
5.2.3.5
Define Joins between the Source Datastores

This section describes how to define joins between the source datastores. To
create the join defined in Table 59:
1. Drag the JOIN component into the mapping from the Components palette
2. Drag the ORDER_ID column of the SRC_ORDERS datastore into the JOIN.
3. Drag the ORDER_ID column of the SRC_ORDER_LINES datastore into the JOIN.
A join linking the two datastores appears. This is the join on the order number. The join
has the following expression:
SRC_ORDERS.ORDER_ID=SRC_ORDER_LINES.ORDER_ID
5.2.3.6
Define the Transformation Rules

Many of the transformations used for this mapping will use an aggregate function. These
functions are implemented using the AGGREGATE Component.
1.
From the Components palette, drag the AGGREGATE component into the mapping.
2.
Drag the AGGREGATE output connector point to the TRG_SALES input connector point.
This action will start an Automap, selecting OK will backfill the AGGREGATE from the
Target attributes.
58
3. Define the following transformations rules.

Define the following transformation rules in the Aggregate component:
CUST_ID: Drag the SRC_ORDERS.CUST_ID column into the CUST_ID

column in the Aggregate Component. This transformation rule maps the
CUST_ID column in your SRC_ORDERS table to the CUST_ID column in
your target table.
PRODUCT_ID: Drag the SRC_ORDER_LINES.PRODUCT_ID column into

the PRODUCT_ID column in the Aggregate Component. This transformation
rule maps the PRODUCT_ID column in your SRC_ORDER_LINES table to
the PRODUCT_ID column in your target table.
FIRST_ORD_ID: Drag the SRC_ORDERS.ORDER_ID column into the

Expression field. Enter the following text in the Implementation field:
MIN(SRC_ORDERS.ORDER_ID)
This transformation rule maps the minimum value of the ORDER_ID column
in your SRC_ORDERS table to the FIRST_ORD_ID column in your target
table.
FIRST_ORD_DATE: Drag the SRC_ORDERS.ORDER_DATE column into

the Implementation field. Enter the following text in the Expression field:
MIN(SRC_ORDERS.ORDER_DATE)
This transformation rule maps the minimum value of the ORDER_DATE
column in your SRC_ORDERS table to the FIRST_ORD_DATE column in
your target table.
LAST_ORD_ID: Drag-and-drop the SRC_ORDERS.ORDER_ID column into

the Expression field. Enter the following text in the Implementation field:
MAX(SRC_ORDERS.ORDER_ID)
This transformation rule maps the maximum value of the ORDER_ID
column in your SRC_ORDERS table to the LAST_ORD_ID column in your
target table.
LAST_ORD_DATE: Drag the SRC_ORDERS.ORDER_DATE column into

59
MAX(SRC_ORDERS.ORDER_DATE)
This transformation rule maps the maximum value of the ORDER_DATE
column in your SRC_ORDERS table to the LAST_ORD_DATE column in
your target table.
QTY: Enter the following text in the Implementation field:

SUM(SRC_ORDER_LINES.QTY)
This transformation rule maps the sum of the product quantities to the QTY
column in your target table.
AMOUNT: Enter the following text in the Expression field:

SUM(SRC_ORDER_LINES.AMOUNT)
This transformation rule maps the sum of the product prices to the
AMOUNT column in your target table.
PROD_AVG_PRICE: Drag the SRC_ORDERLINES.AMOUNT column into

AVG(SRC_ORDER_LINES.AMOUNT)
This transformation rule maps the average of the product prices to the PROD_
AVG_PRICE column in your target table.
Review carefully your Aggregate rules and make sure that you have defined the rules as
shown in Figure 523 below.
Note that even though this example uses aggregation functions, you do not have to specify
the group by rules: Oracle Data Integrator will infer that from the mappings, applying SQL
standard coding practices.
Figure 523 Aggregate Properties
60
Figure 5-24 Mapping logical view
Setting the Integration Type:

Click on the TRG_SALES datastore in the mapping, in the Properties panel under Target
set the Integration Type to Incremental Update.
5.2.3.7
Define the Data Loading Strategies (LKM)

In the Physical tab, Oracle Data Integrator indicates the various steps that are performed
when the map is executed.
In the Physical tab you define how to load the result of the orders and order line aggregates
into your target environment with a Loading Knowledge Module (LKM).
To define the loading strategies:
1. In the Physical tab of the Mapping Editor, select the source set that corresponds to the
loading of the order line's filtered aggregate results. In this example, this is the
AGGREGATE_AP access point in the ODI_DEMO_TRG_UNIT.
2. In the Property Inspector, set the LKM to LKM SQL to SQL (Built-In).GLOBAL using
the LKM Selector list as shown in Figure 526.

Figure 525 Physical tab of Load TRG_SALES Mapping
Figure 5-26 AGGREGATE_AP Properties, Loading Knowledge Module Selection
61
5.2.3.8
Define the Data Integration Strategies (IKM)

After defining the loading phase, you need to define the strategy to adopt for the integration
of the data into the target table.
To define the integration strategies:
1. In the Physical tab of the Mapping Editor, select the Target object (TRG_SALES). The
Property Inspector should display the properties of the target.

2. In the Property Inspector, set the IKM to IKM Oracle Incremental Update using the IKM
Selector list. If this IKM is not in the list, make sure you have correctly set the Target
Integration Type to Incremental Update in the Logical panel.
3. In the knowledge module options, leave the default values.
5.2.3.9
Define the Data Control Strategy

In Section 5.2.3.7, "Define the Data Loading Strategies (LKM)" and Section 5.2.3.8, "Define
the Data Integration Strategies (IKM)" you have specified the data flow from the source to
the target. You must now define how to check your data (CKM) and the constraints and
rules that must be satisfied before integrating the data.
To define the data control strategy:
1. In the Physical tab of the Mapping Editor for the Target, verify that the CKM Oracle is
selected.
Figure 527 Load TRG_SALES Mapping
62
2. In the Logical tab of TRG_SALES, select Constraints. Set the constraints that you wish to
verify to true:
PK_TRG_SALES
FK_SALES_CUST
FK_SALES_PROD
Figure 5-28 Constraint Definition for TRG_SALES
3. From File main menu, select Save.
The Load TRG_SALES mapping is now ready to be executed.

Implementing Data Quality Control
This chapter describes how to implement data quality control. An introduction to data
integrity control is provided.
Section 6.1, "Introduction to Data Integrity Control"
Section 6.2, "SRC_CUSTOMER Control Example"
6.1 Introduction to Data Integrity Control

Data integrity control is essential in ensuring the overall consistency of the data in your
information systems applications.
Application data is not always valid for the constraints and declarative rules imposed by the
information system. You may, for instance, find orders with no customer, or order lines with
no product, and so forth.
Oracle Data Integrator provides a working environment to detect these constraint
violations and to store them for recycling or reporting purposes.
There are two different types of controls: Static Control and Flow Control. We will examine the
differences between the two.
Static Control
Static Control implies the existence of rules that are used to verify the integrity of your
application data. Some of these rules (referred to as constraints) may already be
implemented in your data servers (using primary keys, reference constraints, etc.)
With Oracle Data Integrator, you can enhance the quality of your data by defining and
checking additional constraints, without declaring them directly in your servers. This
procedure is called Static Control since it allows you to perform checks directly on existing
- or static - data.
Flow Control
The information systems targeted by transformation and integration processes often
implement their own declarative rules. The Flow Control function is used to verify an
application's incoming data according to these constraints before loading the data into these
targets. The flow control procedure is detailed in the "Mappings" chapter.
64
Benefits
The main advantages of performing data integrity checks are the following:
Increased productivity by using the target database for its entire life cycle. Business rule
violations in the data slow down application programming throughout the target
database's life-cycle. Cleaning the transferred data can therefore reduce application
programming time.
Validation of the target database's model. The rule violations detected do not always imply
insufficient source data integrity. They may reveal a degree of incompleteness in the target
model. Migrating the data before an application is rewritten makes it possible to validate a
new data model while providing a test database in line with reality.
Improved quality of service for the end-users. Ensuring data integrity is not always a
simple task. Indeed, it requires that any data violating declarative rules must be isolated
and recycled. This implies the development of complex programming, in particular when
the target database incorporates a mechanism for verifying integrity constraints. In terms of
operational constraints, it is most efficient to implement a method for correcting erroneous
data (on the source, target, or recycled flows) and then to reuse this method throughout the
enterprise.
6.2 SRC_CUSTOMER Control Example

This example guides you through the data integrity audit process (Static Control).
The Orders Application contains data that does not satisfy business rule constraints on a
number of different levels. The objective is to determine which data in this application
does not satisfy the constraints imposed by the information system.
This section includes the following topics:
Objective
Interpreting the Problem
Creating Constraints
Run the Static Control
Follow the Execution of the Control in Operator Navigator
Interpreting the Results in Operator Navigator
6.2.1 Objective
Some data in our source may be inconsistent. There may be constraints in the target table
that are not implemented in the source table or there may be supplementary rules that you
wish to add. In our case we have two constraints that we want to enforce on the
SRC_CUSTOMER table:
Customers must be over 21 years of age. However there could be some records
corresponding to younger customers in the input table.
The CITY_ID column must refer to an entry in the SRC_CITY table. However there
could be some values that do not exist in the city table.
We want to determine which rows do not satisfy these two constraints and automatically
copy the corresponding invalid records into an error table for analysis.
65
6.2.2 Interpreting the Problem

Enforcing these types of rules requires the use of a check constraint (also referred to as a
condition), as well as a reference constraint between the SRC_CITY and SRC_ CUSTOMER
tables.
6.2.3 Creating Constraints

This section describes how to create the following constraints:
Age Constraint
Reference Constraint
6.2.3.1
Age Constraint
Creating an age constraints consists in adding a data validity condition on a column. To
create the age constraint:
1. In the Models accordion in Designer Navigator, expand the Orders Application model.
2. Expand the SRC_CUSTOMER datastore.
3. Right-click the Constraints node and select New Condition as shown in Figure 61.
Figure 61 Insert New Condition
4. In the Definition tab of the Condition Editor:
In the Name field, enter the name of your condition. For example: AGE > 21.
From the Type list, select Oracle Data Integrator Condition.
In the Where clause field, enter the following SQL code:

SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE > 21
Note:
You can enter this text directly in the Where clause field or you can use the
Expression Editor. To open the Expression Editor click Launch the expression
editor in the Where clause toolbar menu.
The constraints created by Oracle Data Integrator are not actually created
on the database. The constraints are stored in the Repository.
66
In the Message field, specify the error message as it will appear in your error table:
Customer age is not over 21!
Figure 62 shows the Condition Editor.

Figure 62 Condition Editor
5. From the File main menu, select Save to save the condition.
6.2.3.2
Reference Constraint
This section describes how to create a reference constraint based on the CITY_ID column
between the SRC_CUSTOMER table and the SRC_CITY table.
This constraint allows checking that customers are located in a city that exists in the
SRC_CITY table.
To create the reference constraint:
1. In the Models accordion in Designer Navigator, expand the Orders Application model.
2. Expand the SRC_CUSTOMER datastore.
3. Right-click the Constraints node and select New Reference as shown in Figure 63.
67
Figure 63 Insert New Reference
4. In the Definition tab of the Reference Editor:
From the Type list, select User Reference.

From the Model list in the Parent Model/Table section, select Orders Application. This is the
data model containing the table you want to link to.
From the Table list, select SRC_CITY. This is the table you want to link to.
Figure 64 shows the Reference Editor.
Figure 64 Reference Editor
5. In the Reference Editor, go to the Attributes tab.

6. On the Columns tab, click Add as shown in Figure 65.
68
Figure 65 Columns tab of the Reference Editor
A new row is inserted in the columns table.

7.
In this step you define the matching columns:

Click on the row that appears. This will bring up a drop-down list containing all of the
columns in the appropriate table.
From the Columns (Foreign Table) list, select CITY_ID.
From the Columns (Primary Table) list, select CITY_ID.
Figure 66 shows the Columns tab of the Reference Editor with the selected matching
columns.
Figure 66 Columns tab of the Reference Editor with matching columns
Note that in this example the Foreign Table is SRC_CUSTOMER and the Primary Table is
SRC_CITY. Note also that it is not required for foreign keys that the column names of the
Foreign Table and the Primary Table match. It just happens that they do in this example.
8. Select File > Save to save this reference.
Tip: You can alternately use the [CTRL - S] shortcut to save the current Editor.
6.2.4 Run the Static Control

Running the static control verifies the constraints defined on a datastore. You can now verify
the data in the SRC_CUSTOMER datastore against the constraints defined in Section 6.2.3,
"Creating Constraints".
To run the static control:
1. In the Models accordion in Designer Navigator, right-click the SRC_CUSTOMER
datastore.
69
2. Select Control > Check.

3. The Execution dialog is displayed as shown in Figure 67.
Figure 67 Execution Dialog
4. Click OK in the Execution dialog.

5. The Information Dialog is displayed as shown in Figure 68.
Figure 68 Information Dialog
6. Click OK in the Information Dialog.
Oracle Data Integrator automatically generates all of the code required to check your data
and start an execution session.
6.2.5 Follow the Execution of the Control in Operator Navigator

Through Operator Navigator, you can view your execution results and manage your
development executions in the sessions.
To view the execution results of your control:
1. In the Session List accordion in Operator Navigator, expand the All Executions node.
The Session List displays all sessions organized per date, physical agent, status, keywords,
and so forth.
2. Refresh the displayed information clicking Refresh in the Operator Navigator
toolbar.
70
The log for one execution session appears as shown in Figure 69.
Figure 69 Session List in Operator Navigator
The log comprises 3 levels:

Session (corresponds to an execution of a scenario, a mapping, a package or a procedure
undertaken by an execution agent)
Step (corresponds to a checked datastore, a mapping, a procedure or a step in a
package or in a scenario)
Task (corresponds to an elementary task of the mapping, process or check)
6.2.6 Interpreting the Results in Operator Navigator

This section describes how to determine the invalid records. These are the records that do
not satisfy the constraints and has been rejected by the static control.
Determining the Number of Invalid Records
Reviewing the Invalid Records
6.2.6.1
Determining the Number of Invalid Records

To determine the number of invalid records:
1. In the Session List accordion in Operator Navigator, expand the All Executions node
and the SRC_CUSTOMER session.
2. Double-click the SRC_CUSTOMER step to open the Session Step Editor.
71
3. The Record Statistics section details the changes performed during the static control.
These changes include the number of inserts, updates, deletes, errors, and the total number
of rows handled during this step.
Figure 610 shows the Session Step Editor of the SRC_CUSTOMER step.
Figure 610 SRC_CUSTOMER Session Step Editor
The number of invalid records is listed in the No. of Errors field. Note that the static control
of the SRC_CUSTOMER table has revealed 6 invalid records. These records have been
isolated in an error table. See Section 6.2.6.2, "Reviewing the Invalid Records" for more
information.
6.2.6.2
Reviewing the Invalid Records

You can access the invalid records by right-clicking on the table in your model and selecting
Control > Errors...
To review the error table of the static control on the SRC_CUSTOMER table:
1. In Designer Navigator, expand the Orders Application model.
2. Right-click the SRC_CUSTOMER datastore.
3. Select Control > Errors...
4. The Error Table Editor is displayed as shown in Figure 611.
72
Figure 611 Error Table of SRC_CUSTOMER Table
The records that were rejected by the check process are the following:
5 records in violation of the AGE > 21 constraint (the actual age of the customer
is 21 or younger, see the AGE column for details).
1 record in violation of the FK_CITY_CUSTOMER constraint (The CITY_ID value does
not exist in the SRC_CITY table).
You can view the entire record in this Editor. This means that you can instantly see which
values are incorrect, for example the invalid CITY_ID value in the top record.
Note that the error message that is displayed is the one that you have defined when setting
up the AGE > 21 constraint in Section 6.2.3.1, "Age Constraint".
Now that the static controls have been run on the source data, you are ready to move on to
the implementation of mappings.
73
Working with Packages
This chapter describes how to work with Packages in Oracle Data Integrator. The Load Sales
Administration package is used as an example. An introduction to Packages and automating
data integration between applications is provided.
Section 7.1, "Introduction"
Section 7.2, "Load Sales Administration Package Example"
7.1 Introduction
This section provides an introduction to automating data integration using packages in
Oracle Data Integrator.
7.1.1 Automating Data Integration Flows

The automation of the data integration is achieved by sequencing the execution of the
different steps (mappings, procedures, and so forth) in a package and by producing a
production scenario containing the ready-to-use code for each of these steps.
This chapter describes how to sequence the execution of the different steps. How to
produce the production scenario is covered in Chapter 9, "Deploying Integrated
Applications".
7.1.2 Packages
A Package is made up of a sequence of steps organized into an execution diagram.
Packages are the main objects used to generate scenarios for production. They represent
the data integration workflow and can perform, for example, the following jobs:
Start a reverse-engineering process on a datastore or a model
Send an email to an administrator
Download a file and unzip it
Define the order in which mappings must be executed
Define loops to iterate over execution commands with changing parameters
In this Getting Started exercise, you will load your Sales Administration application using
a sequence of mappings. Since referential constraints exist between tables of this
application, you must load target tables in a predefined order. For example, you cannot
load the TRG_CUSTOMER table if the TRG_CITY table has not been loaded first.
In the Section 7.2, "Load Sales Administration Package Example", you will create and run a
package that includes mappings that are included in the Demo project and mappings that
youve created in Chapter 5, "Working with Mappings".
74
7.1.2.1
Scenarios
A scenario is designed to put source components (mapping, package, procedure, variable)
into production. A scenario results from the generation of code (SQL, shell, and so forth) for
this component.
Once generated, the code of the source component is frozen and the scenario is stored
inside the Work repository. A scenario can be exported and then imported into different
production environments.
Note: Once generated, the scenario's code is frozen, and all
subsequent modifications of the package and/or data models

which contributed to its creation will not affect it. If you want to
update a scenario - for example because one of its mappings has
been changed - then you must generate a new version of the
scenario from the package or regenerate the existing scenario.
See "Working with Scenarios" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle
Data Integrator for more information.
In Chapter 9, "Deploying Integrated Applications", you will generate the LOAD_
SALES_ADMINISTRATION scenario from a package and run this scenario from Oracle Data
Integrator Studio.

7.2.1 Purpose
The purpose of the Load Sales Administration package is to define the complete workflow for
the loading of the Sales Administration application and to set the execution sequence.
7.2.2 Mappings Provided with Oracle Data Integrator

The demo repository is delivered with a number of Mappings. The Demo project now
contains the following objects as shown in Figure 71:
Seven Mappings:
Load TRG_CITY: a mapping that populates the TRG_CITY table. This mapping
is delivered with the demo repository.
Load TRG_COUNTRY: a mapping that populates the TRG_COUNTRY table.
This mapping is delivered with the demo repository.
Load TRG_CUSTOMER: a mapping that populates the TRG_CUSTOMER table. This
mapping is created in Section 5.1, "Load TRG_CUSTOMER Mapping Example".
75
Load TRG_PRODUCT: a mapping populates the TRG_PRODUCT table. This mapping

Load TRG_PROD_FAMILY: a mapping that populates the TRG_PROD_ FAMILY
table. This mapping is delivered with the demo repository.
Load TRG_REGION: a mapping that populates the TRG_REGION table. This mapping
Load TRG_SALES: a mapping that populates the TRG_SALES table. This mapping is
created in Section 5.2, "Load TRG_SALES Mapping Example".
One procedure:
The Delete Targets procedure empties all of the tables in the Sales Administration
application. This operation is performed by using a Delete statement on each table.
Figure 71 Demo Project
7.2.3 Problem Analysis

In order to load the Sales Administration application correctly (in accordance with the
referential integrity constraints), the tasks must be executed in the following order:
1. Empty the Sales Administration tables with the Delete Targets procedure
2. Load the TRG_COUNTRY table with the Load TRG_COUNTRY mapping
3. Load the TRG_REGION table with the Load TRG_REGION mapping
4. Load the TRG_CITY table with the Load TRG_CITY mapping
5. Load the TRG_PROD_FAMILY table with the Load TRG_PROD_FAMILY mapping
6. Load the TRG_PRODUCT table with the Load TRG_PRODUCT mapping
7. Load the TRG_CUSTOMER table with the Load TRG_CUSTOMER mapping
76
8. Load the TRG_SALES table with the Load TRG_SALES mapping
Such an integration process is built in Oracle Data Integrator in the form of a Package.
7.2.4 Creating the Package

This section describes how to create the Load Sales Administration Package. To create the
Load Sales Administration Package perform the following steps:
1. Create a New Package
2. Insert the Steps in the Package
3. Define the Sequence of Steps in the Package
7.2.4.1
Create a New Package

To create a new Package:
3. In the Sales Administration folder, right-click the Packages node and select New
Package as shown in Figure 72.
Figure 72 Insert New Package
The Package Editor is started.

4. Enter the name of your Package Load Sales Administration in the Name field.
7.2.4.2
Insert the Steps in the Package

To insert the steps in the Load Sales Administration Package:
1. Select the following components one by one from the Projects accordion and drag-anddrop them into the diagram:
Delete Targets (Procedure)
Load TRG_COUNTRY
Load TRG_REGION
Load TRG_CITY
Load TRG_CUSTOMER
77
Load TRG_PROD_FAMILY
Load TRG_PRODUCT
Load TRG_SALES
These components are inserted in the Package and appear as steps in the diagram. Note that
the steps are not sequenced yet.
7.2.4.3 Define the Sequence of Steps in the Package

Once the steps are created, you must reorder them into a data processing chain. This chain has
the following rules:
It starts with a unique step defined as the First Step.
Each step has two termination states: Success or Failure.
A step in failure or success can be followed by another step, or by the end of the
Package.
In case of failure, it is possible to define a number of retries.
A Package has one entry point, the First Step, but several possible termination steps. The
Load Sales Administration Package contains only steps on Success.
Defining the First Step
To define the first step in the Load Sales Administration Package:
Note: If you have dragged and dropped the Package components in the order
defined in Section 7.2.4.2, "Insert the Steps in the Package", the Delete Target
procedure is already identified as the first step and the first step symbol is displayed
on the step's icon. If this is the case, define the next steps on success.
1.
Select and right-click the Delete Target procedure step.
2.
Select First Step from the contextual menu. A small green arrow appears on this
step.
Defining the Next Steps on Success
To define the next steps on success:
1. In the Package toolbar tab, select Next Step on Success.
2. Select the Delete Targets step.

3. Keep the mouse button pressed and move the cursor to the icon of the step that must
follow in case of a success (here the Load TRG_COUNTRY step) and release the mouse
button.
A green arrow representing the success path between the steps, with an ok label on it
appears.
4. Repeat this operation to link all your steps in a success path sequence. This
sequence should be:
78
Delete Targets (First Step)

Load TRG_COUNTRY
Load TRG_REGION
Load TRG_CITY
Load TRG_CUSTOMER
Load TRG_PROD_FAMILY
Load TRG_PRODUCT
Load TRG_SALES
The resulting sequence appears in the Package diagram as shown in Figure 73.
Figure 73 Load Sales Administration Package Diagram
5. From the File main menu, select Save. The package is now ready to be executed.
79

The mapping that you have executed has identified and isolated 2 invalid records in an
error table that was automatically created for you.
In this error table, you can see that the mapping rejected:
Records that did not satisfy the FK_CUST_CITY constraint (for example, the CITY_ID
value does not exist in the table of cities TRG_CITY table).
You can use the ODI_CHECK_DATE field to identify the records rejected for your latest
execution.
The invalid records were saved into an error table and were not integrated into the target
table.

Deploying Integrated Applications
This chapter describes how to run the Load Sales Administration Package in a production
environment.
Section 9.2, "Scenario Creation"
Section 9.3, "Run the Scenario"
Section 9.4, "Follow the Execution of the Scenario"
9.1 Introduction
The automation of the data integration flows is achieved by sequencing the execution of the
different steps (mappings, procedures, and so forth) in a package and by producing a
production scenario containing the ready-to-use code for each of these steps.
Chapter 7, "Working with Packages" describes the first part of the automation process:
sequencing the execution of the different processes in a Package.
This chapter describes the second part: how to produce a scenario that runs automatically the
Load Sales Administration Package in a production environment.
9.2 Scenario Creation

To generate the LOAD_SALES_ADMINISTRATION scenario that executes the Load Sales
Administration Package:
1. In the Project accordion, expand Sales Administration and then Packages.
2. Right click on Load Sales Administration and select Generate Scenario The New
Scenario dialog appears as shown in Figure 91.

10 Using Oracle Data Integrator

with Oracle GoldenGate
This chapter describes how to configure and use Changed Data Capture (CDC) with Oracle
GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator.
This tutorial is only included in the ODI Getting Started VirtualBox image available at:
Section 10.2, "Reviewing the Oracle GoldenGate JAgent configuration in ODI Studio"
Section 10.3, "Initial load"
Section 10.4, "Setting up Changed Data Capture"
Section 10.5, Synchronizing the changed data
10.1Introduction
The demo environment used for this Getting Started tutorial also includes two
installations of Oracle GoldenGate 12c. A source installation is used to capture
data from the Orders Application schema while a target installation delivers the
captured data into the Sales Administration schema. Once the data has been
replicated by GoldenGate ODI will detect the changed records and perform some
transformations before inserting the data into the final target table.
Figure 10-1 Real-time data integration architecture with GoldenGate and Data Integrator
In this chapter we will configure Oracle GoldenGate through ODI Studio using
the following Journalization Knowledge Module: JKM Oracle to Oracle Consistent
(OGG Online).
87
Please refer to the Connectivity and Knowledge Modules Guide for Oracle Data
Integrator for more information about the GoldenGate Knowledge Modules and
how the two products integrate.
The Using Journalizing chapter of the Developers Guide for Oracle Data Integrator
contains valuable information about the Changed Data Capture framework in
ODI.
10.1.1 Connect to the ODI Work Repository

1.
2.
3.
Open up ODI Studio.

If you were already connected to a different repository, use Disconnect in the ODI
menu to close the current connection.
Click on Connect to Repository then set the Login Name to ODI and OGG Getting
Started and click OK.
The Designer Navigator appears as shown in Figure 103.
88
Figure 103 Designer Navigator
The demonstration environment provides the objects you will need in order to use Oracle
Data Integrator and Oracle GoldenGate together:
In the Models accordion, you will find the data models corresponding to the
Orders Application, Parameters, and Sales Administration applications:
o The Orders Application model contains a single datastore called
OGG_CUSTOMER which contains the data that will be captured and
replicated by Oracle GoldenGate.
o The Sales Administration model contains several datastores including
OGG_CUSTOMER which is a copy of the OGG_CUSTOMER datastore seen in
the Orders Applications model. This table is the target of the Oracle GoldenGate
processes and the changed records will be replicated into it from the
OGG_CUSTOMER table contained in the Orders Applications model.
This model also contains the TRG_CUSTOMER datastore which is the final
target table and will be populated by ODI using the changed data replicated
by GoldenGate.
89
In the Projects accordion, you will find the ODI and OGG Integration Demonstration
project and two folders Initial Load and Sync Data which already contain several
mappings you will be using in this chapter.
o The Initial Load folder contains a Mapping named Initial Load Staging
which is used to perform the initial load of the OGG_CUSTOMER table in
the Sales Administration model
Figure 10 4 Initial Load folder
The Sync Data folder contains a Mapping named Load TRG_CUSTOMER

which is used to perform both an initial load of TRG_CUSTOMER using
only ODI as well as an incremental load of TRG_CUSTOMER using ODI
and GoldenGate.
This folder also contains a Package called Sync Data which will be used to
orchestrate the Data Integrator and GoldenGate processes.
Figure 105 Sync Data folder
The necessary Knowledge Modules (KM) are already available in the ODI and OGG
Integration Demonstration project:
IKM Oracle Incremental Update
IKM Oracle Insert
IKM SQL Control Append
LKM Oracle to Oracle Pull (DB Link)
LKM SQL to SQL (Built-In)
CKM Oracle
JKM Oracle to Oracle Consistent (OGG Online)
90
10.2Reviewing the Oracle GoldenGate JAgent configuration in ODI Studio

Oracle Data Integrator 12c can integrate with Oracle GoldenGate through the GoldenGate
JAgents. The JAgents are defined in ODI as Data Servers in Topology. In this getting started
environment we have already pre-configured the connections to the source GoldenGate
installation JAgent (OGG_Source) and the target GoldenGate installation JAgent (OGG_Target).
We will now review their configuration:
1.
Open up the Topology Navigator and expand the Physical Architecture and
Technologies nodes.
2.
Scroll down in the Technologies list and expand the Oracle GoldenGate node.
Figure 106 Oracle GoldenGate technology
3.
Double-click on OGG_Source to review its configuration settings. In Figure 10 -7 we

can see the various configuration parameters stored in ODI such as the JAgent host
and port as well as the GoldenGate installation directory.
This information allows ODI to communicate with the JAgent and remotely deploy
configuration settings into a GoldenGate installation.
91
Figure 107 Oracle GoldenGate JAgent configuration
The JAgent processes are not yet running we will start them once we will have finished the
GoldenGate configuration in Designer and we will come back to Topology to test the
connections.
10.3Initial load
Before we load the data and start the changed data capture processes we will look at the data contained in
our source (OGG_CUSTOMER in Orders Application model), staging (OGG_CUSTOMER in Sales
Administration model) and target (TRG_CUSTOMER in Orders Application model) tables.
10.3.1 Starting the ODI and OGG Demo Client

1.
Go back to the VirtualBox desktop
2.
Double-click on the ODI and OGG Demo Client shortcut on the Linux desktop.
Figure 10-8 Starting the ODI and OGG Demo Client
This client is not part of ODI or GoldenGate and was created specifically to showcase the
integration between the two products. Once the client is opened it will show the Staging and
92
Target tables as empty. We will first do their initial load and then stream and transform the
data into the target table.
Note: If the Staging and Target tables are not empty you can truncate them using the Clean Up
Target Tables Procedure available in the Initial Load folder in ODI Studio. Simply run this
procedure to clean up the environment.
10.3.2 Running the Mappings

We will be using ODI to perform the initial load of the GoldenGate target table
(OGG_CUSTOMER in Sales Administration model) and the Data Integrator target table
(TRG_CUSTOMER in Sales Administration model).
1.
Go back to Designer, expand the Initial Load folder and expand the Mappings node.
The Mapping called Initial Load Staging will be doing a bulk load from the source table
OGG_CUSTOMER in the Orders Application model into the OGG_CUSTOMER table in
the Sales Administration model
2.
Right-click on Initial Load Staging and select Run

Figure 10-9 Running Initial Load Staging Mapping
93
Leave the default settings and click OK in the Run window and then click OK again to
close the Information window.
3.
Go back to the ODI and OGG Demo Client window and you will now see that the
Staging table has been populated as shown below
Figure 10-10 ODI and OGG Demo Client
We will now perform the initial load of TRG_CUSTOMER in the Sales Administration model.
1.
Go back to Designer
2.
Loading data into TRG_CUSTOMER requires other tables like TRG_CITY or

TRG_REGION to be populated. If you didnt previously run the Load Sales
Administration package from Chapter 7 Working with Packages then you will need to
first execute the following scenario: LOAD_REFERENCE_DATA. You can find this
scenario in the Load Plans and Scenarios accordion as shown below:
94
Figure 10-11 LOAD_REFERENCE_DATA Scenario
Right-click on it and select Run then leave the default settings in the Run window and
click OK to close the Information window.
3.
Now expand the Sync Data folder and expand the Mappings node. The Mapping called
Load TRG_CUSTOMER will be doing a bulk load from the staging table
OGG_CUSTOMER in the Sales Administration model into the TRG_CUSTOMER table
in the same model
4.
Right-click on Load TRG_CUSTOMER and select Run
95
Figure 10-12 Running Load TRG_CUSTOMER Mapping
Leave the default settings, make sure you are using the Bulk Load Deployment
Specification and click OK in the Run window and then click OK again to close the
Information window.
96
5.
Go back to the ODI and OGG demo client window and you will now see that the
Target table has been populated as shown below
Note: If TRG_CUSTOMER is not getting populated it is most likely due to the missing
reference data. Please run the scenario LOAD_REFERENCE_DATA as mentioned in
Step #2 above and then run Load TRG_CUSTOMER again.
Now that we have data in all our tables we can start the GoldenGate processes,
initialize the ODI CDC infrastructure and propagate changed records from the source
table OGG_CUSTOMER in the Orders Application model into the target table
TRG_CUSTOMER in the Sales Administration model.
10.4Setting up Changed Data Capture

The ODI CDC infrastructure and Oracle GoldenGate Capture and Delivery processes
configuration is done at the Models level in Designer.
1.
In ODI Studio go to Designer and expand the Models node.
2.
Double-click on the Orders Application model to open it and click on the Journalizing
panel.
Figure 1014 Orders Application model Journalizing panel
The Journalizing panel is where the mechanisms used for Changed Data Capture in
ODI are set up. In this example we use Oracle GoldenGate to detect and replicate
changed records, to do so we have picked the JKM Oracle to Oracle Consistent (OGG
97
Online) Journalization Knowledge Module.

This JKM will generate the ODI CDC infrastructure as well as remotely configure the
source and target GoldenGate instances.
The GoldenGate Process Selection section can be used to define new GoldenGate
Capture and Delivery processes from ODI Studio or to select existing ones. In this
environment we have already pre-configured all the Capture and Delivery processes.
3.
You can optionally go back to Topology and under Physical Architecture, expand
OGG_Source and open up the CAP Physical Schema underneath it to review the
capture process settings as shown in the figure below.
Figure 1015 GoldenGate Capture process configuration
Now that we have reviewed the GoldenGate settings we can start it in this environment.
For more information about the ODI CDC framework or the GoldenGate parameters please
refer to the resources mentioned in section 10.1 Introduction.
98
4.
Go to the VirtualBox image desktop
5.
Start the GoldenGate Capture and Delivery processes using the StartOGG command.
It will start the Manager and JAgent processes for both the GoldenGate source and
target.
Figure 10-16 Start GoldenGate using Start OGG
6.
Wait a minute so the script can complete and go back to ODI Studio and go to
Topology open up OGG_Source then click on Test Connection and finally on Test as
shown below.
Figure 10-17 Testing GoldenGate JAgent connection
The test results should show a successful connection, you can repeat the same steps
for OGG_Target.
The GoldenGate infrastructure is running fine, we can finish the configuration.
1.
Go back to Designer
2.
Right-click on the Orders Application model and select Changed Data Capture then Add
to CDC. This will register all the datastores contained in that model into the ODI
Changed Data Capture framework. Click Yes to close the Question window.
99
Figure 10-18 Add Orders Applications model to CDC
3.
Next we will add a Subscriber to the ODI CDC infrastructure. A subscriber is an alias
representing a process interested in changed data. Since we can have multiple
processes interested in the same changed data we can define multiple subscribers.
Each subscriber can move the changed data when needed without impacting the other
ones.
Right-click on the Orders Application model and select Changed Data Capture then
Subscriber and finally click on Subscribe
100
Figure 10-19 Add a Subscriber
In the Select your Subscriber(s) window enter ODIDEMO in the List of Subscribers to Add
field then click on the + icon to add ODIDEMO to the list. Click OK when done.
Figure 10-20 Enter Subscriber name
101
Click OK in the Run window and finally click OK to close the Information window.
4.
A Session is now running, go to Operator to verify that all the steps were executed
correctly as shown in Figure 10-22 below. Click on the Refresh button as needed.
Figure 10-21 Session monitoring in Operator
5.
Go back to Designer and right-click on the Orders Application model and select Changed
Data Capture then Start Journal
102
Figure 10-22 Start Journal
Leave the default settings and click OK in the Run window and finally click OK to
We can monitor the status of the new Session in Operator, go there to verify that all
the steps were executed correctly as shown in Figure 10-23 below
103
Figure 10-23 Session monitoring in Operator
Some Tasks will show a warning status (yellow icon) which is fine as long as Step 1 Orders Applications is successful (green icon).
10.5Synchronizing the changed data

Now that the overall configuration of the ODI CDC framework and GoldenGate is done, we
can focus our attention on the Mapping that will move the replicated data from GoldenGate
into our target table TRG_CUSTOMER.
10.5.1 Load TRG_CUSTOMER Mapping

1.
In Designer, open up the Projects accordion
2.
Expand the Sync Data folder then expand the Mappings node
3.
Open up the Load TRG_CUSTOMER Mapping, in the Logical tab click on

OGG_CUSTOMER. It is worth noting that OGG_CUSTOMER used in this Mapping is
coming from the Orders Applications source model. It is the actual source table and not
the replicated copy used by GoldenGate (located in the Sales Administration model).
ODI will transparently know which table to use based on the Journalizing settings of
the Mapping. In the Properties window, select the Journalizing panel as shown below
104
Figure 10-24 Load TRG_CUSTOMER Mapping Journalizing panel
As you can see the Journalized Data Filter is set to use the ODIDEMO Subscriber that
was previously registered in the ODI CDC framework.
4.
Click on the Physical tab to review the Mapping physical designs
105
Figure 10-25 Load TRG_CUSTOMER Mapping Physical Tab
5.
Two deployment specifications have been created in this getting started environment.
Bulk Load does a bulk insert into TRG_CUSTOMER and was previously used to
perform an initial load of the target table.
Trickle Feed performs an incremental load of TRG_CUSTOMER using the changed
data coming from Oracle GoldenGate.
6.
Click on Trickle Feed to open up the incremental load Physical Design.
7.
Click on OGG_CUSTOMER in ODI_DEMO_TRG_UNIT to open up its Properties. The

Journalized Data Only parameter has already been checked and ensures ODI connects
to its CDC infrastructure to get only the changed records from GoldenGate instead of
going directly against the source table.
Figure 10-26 OGG_CUSTOMER Properties
106
This enables us to create a single logical Mapping design and apply it to multiple
physical scenarios:
a.
A bulk load use case in which the data is moved from

OGG_CUSTOMER in Orders Applications to TRG_CUSTOMER
using only ODI. The IKM used is the IKM SQL Control Append and
this is represented by the Bulk Load deployment specification
b.
An incremental load use case in which the data is replicated from

OGG_CUSTOMER in Orders Applications to OGG_CUSTOMER in
Sales Administration using GoldenGate and then further
transformed from OGG_CUSTOMER into TRG_CUSTOMER, both
located in Sales Administration. The IKM used is the IKM Oracle
Incremental Update and this is represented by the Trickle Feed
deployment specification
10.5.2 Sync Data Package

As we have seen previously the Load TRG_CUSTOMER Mapping will be moving the changed
data into the target table. Before we can run the Mapping we need to review a Package which
will be orchestrating the execution of the Mapping along with some additional CDC tasks.
1.
Expand the Packages node in the Sync Data folder
2.
Open up the Sync Data Package

Figure 10-27 Sync Data Package Diagram
This package will wait for new changes to be replicated by Oracle GoldenGate and
upon detection it will move and transform the replicated data from the staging table
into the target table using Data Integrator.
The ODI Tool step Wait for Changes is doing the CDC detection using
OdiWaitForLogData, it is waiting for some changed records to be published by
GoldenGate. Once the detection is successful the next Model step Extend and Lock will
logically lock the records that will be moved for our ODIDEMO subscriber.
107
The Mapping Load TRG_CUSTOMER will load the changed data using the Trickle Feed
physical design and the ODIDEMO Subscriber as we have seen in section 10.3.3.
Once the Mapping is executed the Model step Purge and Unlock removes the logical
lock on the changed records and purges them for the ODIDEMO Subscriber.
Finally the Package ends with a step executing a Scenario. It allows us to essentially
loop through the same Package creating a new Session for every execution. This is a
best practice rather than creating the loop directly in the Package as this allows us to
better control the overall execution.
3.
Right-click on the Sync Data Package and select Run to start its execution
Figure 10-28 Execute Sync Data Package
Leave the default settings and click OK in the Run window and finally click OK to
4.
Go to Operator and review the Session execution. Expand the Session List accordion
then expand Date, Today and the Session named Sync Data as shown below
Figure 10-29 Sync Data Package Execution in Operator
108
The Package execution is waiting on the Wait for Changes step which is expected. We
now have to make some changes in the source data using the ODI and OGG Demo
Client.
5.
Go back to the ODI and OGG Demo Client window and make some changes in the
source table such as changing the first name of several records. You will then see the
changed data being propagated first by GoldenGate from Source to Staging then by
Data Integrator from Staging to Target. The changed records are highlighted in yellow
as seen in Figure 10-29 below.
6.
You can go back to Operator to see the new SYNC_DATA Sessions that were triggered
by the changed data detection.
7.
Optionally, you can stop the Scenario execution from Operator. Right-click on the
Scenario currently in Running status (green Play button) and select Stop Immediate.
Click OK in the Stop Session window.
Figure 10-31 Stop Scenario execution from Operator
You have successfully moved and transformed changed records using Oracle Data Integrator
and Oracle GoldenGate.

11 Going Further with Oracle Data Integrator

This chapter provides information for going further with Oracle Data Integrator. This
chapter includes the following sections:
Section 11.1, "Summary"
Section 11.2, "What else can you do with Oracle Data Integrator?"
Section 11.3, "Learn More"
11.1Summary
Congratulations! You have now completed an ETL project and learned about the
fundamentals of Oracle Data Integrator. You have also learned about the ODI Changed Data
Capture framework and used it with Oracle GoldenGate.
In this Getting Started guide, you learned how to:
Create mappings to load the data from the Orders Application and Parameters

11.2What else can you do with Oracle Data Integrator?

You have learned how to use Oracle Data Integrator for a typical Data Warehousing
project. But Oracle Data Integrator is capable of addressing any type of data-driven
integration, from batch to near-real-time, as for example:
Data Migration - with or without subsequent replication between the old and the new
system
Point-to-point Data Integration
Data Replication
Furthermore, in this Getting Started guide you have only seen Oracle Data Integrator
connecting to a relational database and files. Oracle Data Integrator can also access and
integrate all database systems, Big Data technologies such as Hive, Sqoop or HBase, ERPs
and CRMs, mainframes, flat files, LDAP directories, XML data sources, and so forth - all
within the same toolset and using the same methodology.
Oracle Data Integrator is the only integration platform that unifies data, event, and servicebased integration with a common declarative rules driven approach. It enables the
enterprise to present a single view of its Information System, with a single, unified access
model.
Some of the benefits that you will find from using Oracle Data Integrator include:
Unified integration support: Oracle Data Integrator is the only integration application
software to support data-, event- and service-oriented integration with the same interface.
This unique feature allows IT teams to cover all integration needs: batch and real-time,
asynchronous and synchronous - regardless of data volumes or latency requirements.
Enhanced productivity and a short learning curve: the declarative rules driven
approach is shared throughout Oracle Data Integrator, regardless of the data, event or
service orientation of each integration mechanism. With a common use model and shared
user interfaces throughout the platform, the learning curve is shortened and productivity
is dramatically increased.
Shared, reusable metadata: with a single metadata repository that is fully integrated
with all components of Oracle Data Integrator, the consistency of the integration processes
is guaranteed. The repository also promotes the reusability of declarative rules for data
transformation and data validation across processes.
Support for multiple applications: Oracle Data Integrator is well suited to a broad range
of integration projects- ETL, Data Migration, Master data management, Business Activity
Monitoring (BAM), Business Process Management (BPM), Business Process Reengineering
(BPR), and Web Services integration - implemented using a combination of Data-oriented,
Event-oriented, and Service-oriented mechanisms.
