Presentation:Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse Customization

OBAW Customization Scenarios

• Categorized by data sources and modification types

Type I CustomizationAdding Additional Columns

• Type I customizations involve extracting additional

columns from source systems that are already mapped

and loading the data to existing data warehouse tables.

• Extend mappings

– Existing mappings and tables are extensible

– Sample placeholders demonstrate how to pass and store

additional data

– DO NOT modify existing logic or columns

Type I CustomizationTypical Extension Steps

1. Copy the appropriate mappings to a custom

Informatica folder

2. Extend the source and target tables by making

changes to the tables in the database

3. Extend the SDE and SIL mappings by bringing in the

additional columns.

4. Copy the appropriate workflows to the custom

Informatica folder.

5. Modify the workflows.

6. Update the DAC with the necessary changes.

Type II CustomizationAdding Additional Tables

• Use pre-packaged adaptors to add new fact or

dimension tables to the data warehouse, regardless of whether they are already mapped.

• Build new SDE and SIL mappings.

• Use required system columns

• Register tables and indices in DAC

• Register new tasks for Informatica workflows, assemble

subject areas and build execution plans in DAC

• Use naming convention WC_TABLENAME_<table type>

Type II CustomizationConsiderations

• Create custom SDE and SIL folders in Informatica and

make changes to them.

• Do not change objects in shipped folders

• Create custom workflows for all customized mappings

– Each workflow should load only one table.

– Workflow name should match a session name that is used inside

the workflow.

– Set the appropriate source and target connection values in

Informatica Designer.

– Register workflows in the DAC.

Customization Labs

Goals of this set of labs:

• Allow you to gain high-level working skills with Informatica PowerCenter tools

• Familiarize you with the steps needed to customize and

extend the OBAW in line with Type I customizations

Considerations to keep in mind

• The Informatica portions will be conducted using a

viewlet so you will perform actions inside the viewlet that

do not reflect real behavior exactly. These deviations will be noted in the lab steps where appropriate.

• The end state mapping has already been completed.

• You cannot make a mistake. Seriously, if you make a

mistake the viewlet will not advance (of course you can

always advance using the forward button at the bottom

of the viewlet).

Use Case

• Executives want to see additional data elements related

to a customer outreach initiative in the reports that are

related to customers.

• The outreach initiative information is maintained in an

Excel spreadsheet by the Director of Customer

Satisfaction.

Use Case: Technical Enablement

• In the Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10 OLTP Database

– The table LAB_CUST_OUTREACH_ZONES was created to hold the data on customer satisfaction outreach zones and the assignment of current customers to these zones. This data was imported into the database using Oracle Data Integrator.

• In the Data Warehouse:

– The table LAB_W_CUSTOMER_LOC_D was created as a copy of W_CUSTOMER_LOC_D with a new column called X_OUTREACH_ZONE added after the X_CUSTOM column.

– The table LAB_W_CUSTOMER_LOC_DS was created as a copy of W_CUSTOMER_LOC_DS

• The source table only has five records since the real point of the exercise is to work with the tools and flow versus loading hundreds of rows of data.

Lab 1

• Create the mapping and workflow (viewlet)�

Lab 2

• Create the DAC artifacts

Lab 3

• Run the execution plan and verify load
