I tend to work with ODI quite a bit. Recently, I came across a scenario where the standalone agent on one of our boxes was turning itself off once in a while. While the issue was fixed, it did provide the impetus for this post. Today, we’ll take a look at the ODI (11g) standalone……
I thought today we’d take a look at whether it would be possible to do an entire post on record separators, and how they apply to ODI! Be still, my beating heart! Yes, this has all the potential of being one of the most exciting posts I’ve put up. So anyways, let’s get to it.……
Through this blog, we’ve been trying to advertise the fact that the tools we have at our disposal go a long way towards creating user-friendly solutions. Today, I thought I’d delve into the world of the Essbase API. Further, I thought we’d explore how the API can work, with Jython, and by extension, ODI. There……
When I started working on Hyperion, most my projects were relatively small compared to the projects I have been doing the past 3 years. Now projects are over a year long with 2, 3, 4 phases and most of the times include Essbase, Planning, DRM, ODI to name a few of those tools. The bigger……
I wanted to go over a scenario that arises when you have enterprise licensing for ODI and how this relates to authentication. Specifically, when ODI is authenticated externally. Now, this is not something that most of us EPM developers are used to, but this is standard when BIAPPS is set up. Normally, we would just……
I often use Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) for automation and ETL processes in the EPM projects I help deliver. ODI is a wonderfully flexible and powerful tool that works incredibly well out of the box. But there are some little tweaks to ODI that I find necessary to resolve some occasional hiccups I encounter. I……
Today, I wanted to post a little addendum to our earlier post on Groovy and REST. We’ll take a look at how you can further extend your integration capabilities, by adding ODI to your Groovy > REST calls. You might have noticed Groovy on ODI and wondered how you might use it. To access ODI’s……
I thought today we’d look at how executing dynamic SQL with ODI is both simple and effective. I ran into a scenario recently, where I had to make updates to an indeterminate number of tables. The number was indeterminate, but not the names of the tables. The table names were derived from a view, which……
The first time a user launches the ODI Studio they will be prompted or required to set up the initial connection to the Master and Work repositories. This connection information is stored in each user profile. So each user that wishes to log into the ODI Studio console will have to perform this action. To……
PREREQUISITES Download the ODI install file http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/data-integrator/downloads/index.html. Make sure you have a Java JDK installed. I used the version seen below. The Oracle support matrix shows any version greater than 1.7.0_55 as supported. I’m not sure if 1.8 is supported though so I stuck with version 7. Note that support for 7 is set to……
Until recently, I never encountered a situation where I needed a “yellow interface” in ODI (Oracle Data Integrator). Typical ODI interfaces leverage models that are manually created and point to static objects such as tables or files. On a recent project, I took to ODI to create an automation process that would be used to……
