Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) Integration with OBIEE PHANI KOTTAPALLI AST CORPORATION Purpose: The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of Oracle Data Integrator 11g Architecture, Installation process and integration process between Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) and Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). The presentation also includes different products like Security Navigator, Topology Navigator and their usage in Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition. Creation of master and work repository will also be discussed. Introduction: Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition 11g is a latest release from Oracle Data Integrator. It delivers high-performance data movement and transformation among enterprise platforms with its E-LT architecture. With Extract Load and Transform (E-LT) technology ODI process improves performance, reduces data integration costs across various systems. This approach eliminates the need of the exclusive Transformation Server between the Source and Target Data server. Data Connectivity: Oracle Data Integrator supports all RDBMSs including all leading Data Warehousing platforms such as Oracle, Teradata, IBM DB2, Netezza, Sybase IQ and numerous other technologies such as flat files, ERPs, LDAP, XML. Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition is a comprehensive suite of enterprise BI products that delivers a full range of analysis and reporting capabilities. BI infrastructure Integrates with any data source, extraction, transformation and load (ETL) tool, application server, portal technology, other front-end and analytical tools, and databases. It also includes a full range of easy-to-use and end-user tools such as Interactive Dashboards, advanced reporting and publishing, full ad-hoc analysis over the Web and alerts, mobile analytics.

ODI Repository: In ODI the Repository is a comprehensive and shared metadata repository. The Repository is a combination of a master repository and several work repositories. In 11g Administrators and developers use the Oracle Data Integrator Studio to access the repositories.

Master Repository:

I. Usually only one master repository that stores the information on the topology including server defineations, schemas, contexts and languages etc.

II. Security information including users, profiles and rights for ODI platform.

Work Repository:

I. This will stores the information about data models, projects, business rules, packages, procedures, variables etc.

II. Scenario execution, scenarios, scheduling information and logs

Topology Navigator: Topology Navigator is used to manage the data that will describe the information system's physical and logical architecture. Topology Navigator is used to manage the topology of information system, the technologies and their data types. The site, machine, and data server descriptions will enable Oracle Data Integrator to execute the same interfaces in different environments. ODI 11g Architecture

Business Challenges: The Biggest challenge integrating with OBIEE, is in choosing how the interfaces between EBS layer and the OBIEE layer are scheduled to run and the efficiency in minimizing the data losses. On a daily basis, data from the EBS is consolidated and summarized in the ODI Layer before being brought into the OBIEE for analytic reporting. The flow in Fig 2 illustrates the integration between the EBS and the OBIEE using ODI layer as a conduit.
