Getting Started with Oracle Data Integrator 11g: A Hands-on Tutorial

Getting Started with Oracle Data Integrator 11g: A Hands-on Tutorial, 9781849680684 (184968068X), Packt Publishing, 2012

The May 26, 2011 edition of the Economist magazine cites a report by the the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) about data becoming a factor of production, such as physical or human capital. Across the industry, enterprises are investing significant resources in harnessing value from vast amounts of data to innovate, compete, and reduce operational costs.

In light of this global focus on data explosion, data revolution, and data analysis the authors of this book couldn't have possibly chosen a more appropriate time to share their unique insight and broad technical experience in leveraging Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) to deliver key data integration initiatives across global enterprises. Oracle Data Integrator constitutes a key product in Oracle's Data Integration product portfolio. ODI product architecture is built on high performance ELT, with guiding principles being: ease of use, avoiding expensive mid-tier transformation servers, and flexibility to integrate with heterogeneous platforms.

I am delighted that the authors, six of the foremost experts on Oracle Data Integrator 11g have decided to share their deep knowledge of ODI in an easy to follow manner that covers the subject material both from a conceptual and an implementation aspect. They cover how ODI leverages next generation Extract-Load-Transformation technology to deliver extreme performance in enabling state of the art solutions that help deliver rich analytics and superior business intelligence in modern data warehousing environments. Using an easy-to-follow hands-on approach, the authors guide the reader through successively complex and challenging data integration tasks—from the basic blocking and tackling of creating interfaces using a multitude of source and target technologies, to more advanced ODI topics such as data workflows, management and monitoring, scheduling, impact analysis and interfacing with ODI Web Services. If your goal is to jumpstart your ODI 11g knowledge and productivity to quickly deliver business value, you are on the right track. Dig in, and Integrate.
