Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2 Transforming Data into Quality Information INTRODUCTION Enterprises have always relied on data to be successful. Customers, products, suppliers, and sales transactions all need to be described and tracked in one way or another. Even before computers became commercially available, the data in the form of paper records has been vital to both commercial and non-commercial organizations. With the advent of computing technology, the sophistication of data usage by businesses and governments grew exponentially. The technology industry serving these needs has generated many buzz words that come and go: decision support systems, data warehousing, customer relationship management, business intelligence, etc., but the fact remains the same—organizations need to make the best use of the data they have to increase their efficiency today and improve their planning for tomorrow.

    Oracle9i Database with OLAP: Using OWB USE ORACLE WAREHOUSE BUILDER TO BUILD YOUR OLAP-READY DATA WAREHOUSE Patricia Fay, Jean-Pierre Dijcks, Oracle Corporation Copyright Oracle Corporation, 2002. All rights reserved. 1 of 38 Oracle9i Database with OLAP: Using OWB INTRODUCTION Technology attempts to make it easier to provide solutions for difficult problems. But, no matter how ingenious the technology is, the ability to implement it often becomes the deciding factor in whether the solution it offers is adoptable. A solution is most useful when it fits comfortably into the process and information flow of your business. This paper describes an OLAP solution that will comfortably fit into your processing environment. One long-time problem that is looking for a solution is well known by businesses that have complex analytic, forecast and planning requirements. You already know if your business requires the analytic capabilities of a multidimensional analytic engine. In the past, that meant the purchase and maintenance of a database system which was different from the database system that warehoused the source data. And was probably different from the database system that hosted your Business Intelligence applications. The OLAP option of the Oracle9i Database provides the capability to perform all analysis tasks in the same database system that supports your BI applications. Oracle9i also provides tools that support all of the OLAP activities from data preparation through the reporting of analytic findings. Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) is the Oracle ETL tool that supports the design, deployment, and maintenance of the data warehouse. You can use OWB to fully prepare and maintain your source data for OLAP processing.

  • Oracle Warehouse Builder: SOA and Web Services Ready
    Warehouse Builder 11g ORACLE WAREHOUSE BUILDER: WEB SERVICES AND SOA-READY May 2008 Oracle Warehouse Builder: Web Services and SOA Ready INTRODUCTION: DATA INTEGRATION WITH OWB Data integration problems, at least in their general outline, are by now familiar to all of us. The details vary, but at root, the problem, time and again, is “how do I get data from various sources, transform it, and make it available to various consumers?” One classic version of the problem is the data warehousing problem: moving data from sources, to a staging area, then integrating it, and pushing it out to an array of targets, such as a data warehouse, data marts, master data management systems, and so on. Other scenarios might include, a simpler one-time movement of data, federation of data sources, data migrations where a gradual transition from an old system to a new system is required, and so on. But there are two technical problems that must always be answered when tackling the integration question: how do I actually gain access to data in different sources, and publish the results of data integration to make them accessible for consumers? And how do I orchestrate the activities involved in the data integration process? SOA: New Technologies, Old Questions The SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) approach, reframing applications as collections of loosely-coupled software services communicating using open standards like SOAP and HTTP, may be the new model for application architecture in the age of the Web, but it still presents these familiar fundamental problems, if in new guises. Services may be built and combined to make applications while being more agnostic about the technologies to build each component, and WSDL as the basis for describing their interactions, but the basic needs in integration scenarios are not so different from before.
