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

Chapter 2. Product Installation

This chapter provides instructions for installing and configuring the Oracle Data Integrator product for a development or production environment. After reviewing the prerequisites for the product installation, we will cover the installation and configuration of the ODI repository, the Studio (graphical interface), and the Standalone Agent.

As a point of reference, Oracle maintains a list of prerequisites and step by step installation instructions at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/data-integrator/documentation/index.html.

Prerequisites


Before installing the product, we have to make sure that all components are available and that the systems where the product will be installed conform to the product requirements. Download the required components as follows:

  • The components need to be downloaded from the ODI OTN web page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/data-integrator/downloads/index.html. For the purpose of this book, we will assume that the installation is done on a Windows operating system. Download the ODI installation file.

  • Download the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) tool that will be needed to create the ODI repositories. RCU can be downloaded from the ODI download page on OTN.

Make sure to download the latest release of both products. Note that the ODI file is quite large (close to 2 GB). Depending on the quality of your bandwidth, the download could take quite a while and should be scheduled accordingly.

Prerequisites for the repository

To install the repository, you must have access to...

Installing ODI 11g


In this section we will view step-by-step instructions for installing ODI.

Two installation modes

Since the installation involves several components, there are two distinct installation modes for the repositories. They are as follows:

  • Oracle Repository Creation Utility (RCU) installation: Oracle provides a dedicated program that assists with the creation of repositories. This tool will create repositories for any Oracle tool that requires such an infrastructure, including ODI. This tool makes installation extremely simple, but will necessarily be less flexible than a repository created directly from the ODI Studio.

  • Creation from the ODI Studio: The installation program will only install the graphical interface and the Agent. The repositories can be created from the Studio graphical interface after it has been properly installed. The Agent will have to be manually configured to connect to the repository in this case. This installation mode may be required when additional...

Post installation—parameter files review


The following files are worth looking at:

  • For the Studio, you will find under Documents and Settings\<your login name>\Application Data\odi\oracledi\ all the configuration files that contain your login preferences and Studio preferences. If you need to add JDBC drivers for the Studio, you will need to store them into the userlib subdirectory.

  • For the Agent, under the agent \bin directory, you will find the odiparams.bat file (the same odiparams.sh will exist on Unix) that defines all the connection parameters for the Agent to connect to the repository. For instance, C:\Oracle\product\11.1.1.5\ODI\oracledi\agent\bin. The installation program has also created an agent_<your_agent_name>.bat file to start the Agent you have defined with the appropriate parameters.

Summary


In this chapter, we have reviewed the environment required for the ODI installation as well as the different steps required to install ODI. If you follow these steps with your installation, ODI will be installed and up and running with properly configured Master and Work repositories.

In the next chapter, we will introduce the notion of variables, how to define them, and how and where to use them. Then we will be ready to go into the actual use of the product.

Oracle Data Integrator is Oracle Corporation's premier software product for integrating data across an organization's lines of business. It addresses the need to move data among transaction processing systems, data warehousing implementations, business intelligence tools, master data management, so-called "big data," and the like. It is fully integrated with the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Enterprise Data Quality.As an instructor and consultant for the better part of my 40+ year professional career, I have always sought to share with my students value-added collateral that reinforces the lessons I teach them in the classroom (either through traditional or live virtual class settings). I've shared white papers, links to documentation both inside and outside of vendors' mind space and the results of personal research via email threads and blogs. I eagerly anticipate that someone will create a well-written primer that's driven by the needs of a critical mass of product users.Such is the case with the new book, Getting Started with Oracle Data Integrator 11g: A Hands-on Tutorial. The authors of this practical, easy to digest, 384 page paperback (available also as an e-book) are directly involved with the development and support of the product known by its users simply as "ODI." They ostensibly avoided creating just another rehash of vendor documentation, opting instead to "accelerate your learning of ODI 11g" through hands-on lessons.As they mention in the first few pages, they hope to "highlight the key capabilities of the product in relation to data integration tasks (loading, enrichment, quality, and transformation" by exposing the key productivity features inherent in a code generator that automates the implementation of much of the required logistics traditionally hand-coded in conventional ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) processes.They illustrate sample use cases that transcend the mundane, offering examples that exploit a varied set of relational database tables, text files and XML (Extensible Markup Language) data. In keeping with their tutorial focus, they maintain an educational perspective, demonstrating how the features and functions of the tool are used in real-world situations. Their "number one goal is to get you familiar, comfortable, and successful" using the product. In my professional opinion, I believe that the entire book is faithful to their objectives.With chapters that cover every critical topic from a brief but effective review of ODI terminology, architecture and concepts, through product installation, application development and administration, the authors provide a comprehensive look at the tool without bogging the reader down in minutia. They cover the use of database technologies like MySQL, Oracle database and Microsoft SQL Server. Best of all, the entire book has an enthusiastic tone. As they say, "If it is not obvious by the time you finish reading this book, we <really like> ODI 11gR1" (the emphasis on "really like" is theirs).I, too, am a zealous devotee of ODI. I have worked with the product ever since Oracle Corporation acquired the French company known as Sunopsis a half-decade ago. Several of the authors were among those who developed and marketed what has evolved into Oracle Data Integrator 11g. I've taught well over 1,000 people how to be successful with ODI in those intervening years. I welcome this new book as an essential title in the library of every student I teach going forward. I will heartily recommend it to everyone "interested in, or responsible for, the content, freshness, movement, access to, or integration with data."One final comment: I pride myself on being well-versed in ODI. I kept track of all the techniques and observations about this software that I may not have fully exploited, despite my experience. When I was finished reading the book, I had compiled a list of about a dozen features that were interpreted in significantly better ways than I've traditionally explained them! My hat's off to the team who wrote this excellent book!(This book is available via www.amazon.com or directly from the publisher, Packt Publishing)Paperback Edition: Getting Started with Oracle Data Integrator 11g: A Hands-on Tutorial Kindle Edition: Getting Started with Oracle Data Integrator 11g: A Hands-On Tutorial

This book has done a great job of introducing ODI at both conceptual and operational levels. It covers 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.At conceptual level, it has discussed how ODI can deal with heterogeneous datatypes with ease and efficiency. For example, it introduces the concepts of:* Abstraction* Decoupling* Declarative Design* Delegating and distributing processingUsing these design patterns, ODI allows:* Integration strategies be reused* Heterogeneity of data server types be encapsulated via models and other integration objects* Life management of development, test, or production environments be easily maintainedFor operational details, the largest part of the book is a set of hands-on step-by-step tutorials that build a non-trivial Order Processing solution that you can run, test, monitor, and manage. It has highlighted the key capabilities of the product in relation to data integration tasks (loading, enrichment, quality, and transformation) and the productivity achieved by being able to do so much work with heterogeneous datatypes while writing so little SQL.
