5. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris What is OWB? Extract / Transform / Load (ETL) OWB is a CODE GENERATOR  PL/SQL, XPDL, CTL files

6. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris What is OWB? =

7. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris OWB : Metadata Metadata is central in OWB architecture A working solution requires one to: 1. Build ETL “logically” 2. Build PL/SQL from “design model” 3. Execute actual ETL (runtime) “Orphan” of data warehousing Operational and Contextual Benefits

8. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris Operational : Logic AND Code BUSINESS LOGIC CAPTURED

9. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris Operational : Impact Analysis What’s the possible impact of a change to the CATEGORY DATAFILE in my SALES application?

17. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris Metadata : Paris Note : Possible, not “out of the box”

18. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris UDOs : Implementation First : Classes  Create Iconsets  Create Classes, Associations, Folders Second : Objects  Programmatically (OMBPlus/Java)  OWB Client

19. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris UDO Classes : Step 1 Create Iconset

20. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris UDO Classes : Step 2 Create CLASS DEFINITION Done in OMBPlus in Single User Mode Requires Knowledge of  First, Second, Third class objects in OWB Repository  Folder Definitions  Association Definitions “Non-trivial” to say the least

21. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris UDO Classes : Step 2 (syntax) OMBDEFINE MODULE CLASS_DEFINITION ‘MY_MODULE’ OMBDEFINE FIRST_CLASS_OBJECT CLASS_DEFINITION ‘EXCEL’... OMBREDEFINE CLASS_DEFINITION ‘MY_MODULE’ ADD CHILD_TYPE ‘EXCEL’ OMBDEFINE SECOND_CLASS_OBJECT CLASS_DEFINITION ‘WORKSHEET’ OMBREDEFINE CLASS_DEFINITION ‘EXCEL’ ADD CHILD_TYPE ‘WORKSHEET’ OMBDEFINE ASSOCIATION_DEFINITION... NOT exact syntax Oracle should provide “reference” TCL Bayon will publish scripts/information when Paris is released (maybe an Expert)

22. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris UDO Objects : Programmatically

23. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris UDO Objects : OMBPlus Swiss Army Knife of OWB  TCL scripting, easy access to OWB Rep Simple pseudo code:  For x in [ file with values ] {  create/update JSP objects (values)  } Java for more “advanced” needs

24. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris UDO Objects : Programmatically BUSINESS OBJECTS REPOSITORY REPORT DEFINITIONS EXTRACT REPORT DATA FROM BO REP GENERATE TCL FROM DATAFILES.TCL SCRIPTS OWB REPOSITORY

25. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris UDO Objects : Manually

26. OWB 10g Release 2 Codename: Paris Other Noteworthy Items Exp/Imp/Snapshots/etc work Public Metadata Views  ALL_IV_GENERIC_ASSOCIATIONS  ALL_IV_GENERIC_FCOS  ALL_IV_GENERIC_FOLDERS  ALL_IV_GENERIC_MODULES  ALL_IV_GENERIC_SCOS Use UD_ so OWB can identify USER DEFINED Classes
