Reusable Objects

This document summarizes tools and objects in BODS Server. It describes five main tools: Repository Manager, Server Manager, BODS management console, Metadata integrator, and License manager. It also describes two client tools: Designer and Locale Selector. Finally, it outlines two types of BODS objects - reusable objects like data flows and jobs, and single-use objects like scripts. It provides examples of projects, jobs, dataflows, and datastores as key reusable objects in BODS.

BODS Server tools


I. Repository Manager:It s a tool to create repositories; It helps to check the version
of the repository; upgrade repository. If BODS version gets upgraded we will
upgrade the repository. It is administrator tool; desktop tool; server tool.
II. Server Manager: It is a tool to create Job server, Access server; Assignment of
repository to job server is done here; It is server tool ; administrator tool; desktop
tool; we can do email configurations; we can define pageble memory path
settings; we can do email configurations; we can do real time job configuration at
receiver side.
III. BODS mgmt console:
IV. Metadata integrator: It is a tool which will integrate BODS and BO BI; here in
BODS we will get all metadata of (universes, reports etc.) and so the impact and
linage analysis; It is desktop tool; Server tool; administrator tool; we can schedule
the metadata integrator to get the data from cmsdb to BODS repo with regular
intervals.
V. License manager: We can add, delete, modify licenses; It is a desktop tool;
Administrator tool; server tool.
2. BODS Client tools
I. Designer: It is a desktop application and client tool; it is a developer tool to
develop BODS jobs; it supports batch job and real time jobs; it is only
aapplication , it does not store data.
II. Locale Selector :It will help you to select a default language of designer;
Developer tool; it is client tool; it is desktop tool.
III. Documentation: Technical manual of the tool.
BODS Objects
BODS objects are two types
I. Reusable objects: A reusable object has a single definition; all calls to the object
refer to that definition. Accessreusable objects through the local object library. A
data flow, work flow, datastore, function etc are example of reusable objects.
II. Single-use objects: Some objects are defined only within the context of a single job
or data flow, for example scripts, project, loop, try-catch, conditionsetc are single
use objects.
Projects: A project is a reusable object that allows you to group jobs;A project is the highest
level of organization offered by the software; You can use a project to group jobs that have
schedules that depend on one another or that you want to monitor together.
Jobs: A job is the only object you can execute. You can manually execute and test jobs in
development.
Dataflow: It is an object to define a ETL definition in BODS (what to extract, how to extract
and where to load).
Workflow: It is an object which helps in grouping of data flows (or) grouping of set of ETL
operations
Datastores: Datastores represent connection configurations between the software and
databases or applications:
There are three kinds of Datastores:
I. Database Datastores:provide a simple way to import metadata directly froma
RDBMS.
II. Application Datastores:let users easily import metadata from mostEnterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) systems.
III. Adapter Datastores:can provide access to an application’s data and metadataor just
metadata. For example, if the data source is SQL-compatible, theadapter might be
designed to access metadata, while Data Services extractsdata from or loads data
directly to the application.
