Introduction This article presents a modified version of the ODI load knowledge module called LKM Oracle to Oracle (datapump). The ODI load knowledge module (LKM) presented in this article has been enhanced with additional options and steps to take advantage of the best features of Oracle Data Pump and Oracle External Tables. Some of the enhancements include data compression, server to server file transport, threads control, and the use of Oracle Optimizer Hints. This...

Introduction The Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) Extract option SQLPREDICATE may be used to speed-up the initial load of large tables when the source database is Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, or Teradata. In this article we shall discuss the various OGG options for splitting data across multiple initial load Extract groups and demonstrate the effectiveness of each. The scripts and information provided in this article are for educational purposes only. They are not supported by Oracle...

Introduction Many times when working with customers, we hear "We were told never to use Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) to do initial loads, so how do we load our non-Oracle data to Oracle?" It is true that native database utilities can be used to make copies of large databases faster than OGG in a homogeneous (like-to-like) implementation. However, when loading data of dissimilar structure OGG may be the best, and possibly only, data load solution. The key is to use some of the more...

Introduction The cost of reproducing a production environment for the purpose of developing and testing data integration solutions can be prohibitive. A common approach is to downscale the development environment by grouping databases and applications. The purpose of this post is to explain how to define the ODI Topology when the physical implementation differs between the development and production environments. Using ODI with a Development Topology that Doesn’t Match...

Introduction With over 90% of internet traffic now coming from mobile devices, there is a huge pressure on companies to make their customer-facing applications suitable for rendering on smart phones and tablets. A-team is involved with a number of customers who are looking for ways to adapt their existing Oracle ADF applications and make them “mobile-enabled” . This article is the third in a series of articles that describe what we learned from the experiences with these...

Introduction This write up illustrates Oracle GoldenGate's behavior in a distributed file system environment that supports file locking. Oracle GoldenGate(OGG) is very commonly used in an Oracle RAC environment. When OGG is installed in a distributed file system in a RAC environment, at any given time the OGG processes run in a single node of the cluster. To prevent accidental startup from another node of the cluster while the OGG processes are already running in another node...

Introduction This article illustrates how to implement early arriving facts in Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). This article has two parts. Part I gives you an overview of a proof-of-concept created in ODI to implement an early arriving fact. Part II includes step-by-step instructions on how to implement an early arriving fact using Oracle database functions, ODI lookups, ODI user functions, and ODI custom knowledge modules. Also, Part II focuses on creating a...

Introduction This article includes step by step instructions on how to implement an early arriving fact using database functions, ODI lookups, ODI user functions, and ODI custom knowledge modules. In this article, I focus on creating a reusable solution in ODI that can be utilized for other early arriving facts in your data warehouse. This is Part II of a two-parts article. Part I gives you an overview of the proof-of-concept (POC) I created in ODI to implement an early...

Introduction In Part 1 of the B2B Agreement Life-Cycle Management Series, we looked at the best practices to import high volume of agreement metadata into the repository [1]. In this post, we will take a look at the best practices to deploy the agreement metadata for run-time processing. Background B2B 11g supports the notion of agreements, which serve as the binding contract between different partners and documents defined within the repository. In order to facilitate...
