Following on from my postings last week about future OBIEE architecture, I’ve spent a couple of evenings this week taking a closer look at the web services support in Oracle Data Integrator. Specifically, I was interested to see how ODI mappings and packages could be called by a BPEL process, and how data retrieved from […]

Following on from my blog article earlier this week on future Oracle BI architectures, I’ve read through the comments and had a think about how things might work, and put together some thoughts on how organizations might use Oracle’s Enterprise Edition BI tools now and going into the future.
To recap, the idea here is to […]

One of the presentations I’m giving over the next couple of months is one for the UKOUG BI & Performance Management event on future Oracle BI architectures. The driver for this for me is around all the different options that are now available for building Oracle BI systems, now that we’ve got products from Siebel, […]

Keeping my head down building Oracle 11g OLAP cubes for research and self-education meant the I missed yesterday’s product announcement from Oracle, but with the wonders of Blog aggregators (and in particular Beth’s) I spotted a mention on Vincent McBurney’s blog of the newly announced (and available) Oracle Data Integration Suite.
This is one of […]

Last week I posted an article on the forthcoming round of BI Masterclasses that I’ll be running through Oracle University, and I suggested an agenda mainly focused around the new BI Enterprise Edition family of products. I invited feedback on the agenda and got some useful comments, which reinforced in my mind the fact that […]

I’ve been working fairly solidly with Oracle Data Integrator over the past few weeks, and I think I’ve used it enough now to form a few opinions on the product. I did some work with a client who wanted to evaluate it for it’s ability to handle Changed Data Capture, I’ve been writing an article […]

Tomorrow is the OUG Scotland BI Tech SIG Meeting up in Edinburgh, and I’m about to get on a train up to Gatwick to fly up this afternoon. I’m doing two presentations, the PDFs for which I’ve just uploaded:

Manage the DW Lifecycle using OWB10gR2
An Introduction to Oracle Data Integrator

Apart from myself, Peter Scott and Mike […]

I’ve been away for a few days, but when I got back tonight I noticed that Oracle Data Integrator, formerly known as Sunopsis Data Conductor and the subject of a number of my blog postings late last year, is now available for download on OTN. Data Integrator differs from Warehouse Builder in that it sits […]

I’m writing this whilst sitting in the departure lounge at Vienna Airport, and as my flight’s been delayed, I thought I’d do the next posting in my “Sunopsis on Oracle” writeup. The other week, I worked through the demo that comes with Sunopsis Data Conductor and said at the time I’d try the software out […]

In this first article since the “Amazing November 2006 Blog Catastrophe”, I’m going to go back to Sunopsis Data Conductor and look at what’s involved in putting your own project together, running against Oracle datasources and targets. For anyone who’s not kept up with the Oracle news, Sunopsis are the ETL vendor Oracle are in […]
