Hi Mark,

Good article. Has anyone used the new Hyperion HFM and Essbase adaptors for ODI to push data from ODI to these source databases? Or are people using HFDM to do this from ODI?

Hi, I’ve got a problem.
When I try to journal a datastore which its name is 24 o 25 characters , I got the error
“This datastoreis not journalized on this context”. Why?

It’s great to read Mark’s evaluation on ODI. I am in a process of synchronizing data between two applications which do not expose internal data schemas but a web service and SOAP API list are provided for manipulating data. For this use case, as a POC I tried to invoke the provided web service and create a XML data server. But I could not able to invoke any method except login method as other method calls need authentication (other methods do not login info arguments). I still cannot find a way to store login() response (URL and sessionId) temporary and post subsequent method calls to that url (like we do in a proxy in web services client application).

May be I’ve not explained well the situation, but anyway basically what I need is to create a ‘Data Server’ from data which acquire from an external web service and proceed with interfaces in ODI.

I follow Nathalie’s blog too, but those areas have not been discussed yet.

Thanks.

Great article! I downloaded ODI to solve an old problem: migration of a dBaseIII fiel with a memo field into an oracle table.
are knowledge modules avaiable for this situation ?

thans in advance.

Jeff – my take on this is that some of the integration tools from query tool vendors such as Cognos and BO are designed to work with any target database and have the “lowest common denominator” approach to coding this is often comes out as row-based simple SQL. I would prefer to implement good database specific code for my ETL process – it is here where I want the best use of my batch window so I favour product that target the code generated to platform

Good article! One thing we debate at my work is choice of ETL vendor. We use OWB and oracle data warehouse and ODI appears to have some interesting features. Our debate goes like this “should the ETL tool integrate more closely with the database or the data access tools”. We use Business Objects for data access and some feel we should be considering their Data Integrator product as their being sold on the intgegration with the BO product stack. I feel it’s more important that the ETL and db work well together.
Any opinions?

Hi Mark,

I am trying to evalute the ODI tool for the conversion and interfaces purpose while implementing the R12 Oracle Enterprise Suite, am but skeptical of using this tool for this implementation as I am not sure if all my requirements will be met by ODI, can you give your inputs of utilising ODI for the above context, also would like to know the scenarios where this tool can be used .

thnx

Vikash
