Agenda
Start to use the Topology navigator within ODI 11g
Understand ODI physical architectures
Learn how to create data servers
Create physical schemas
Create logical schemas, and link them to physical ones through contexts
Topologies
The physical and logical representation of the ODI components and architecture
Contains connections to data servers, repositories, agents and contexts
Defined using the Topology navigator within ODI Studio
Technologies
Types of data source that can be connected
to by ODI
Databases, files, application software,
web services
Typically accessed through JDBC drivers
Can be extended to cover non-shipped
data sources
Creating Data Sources in ODI 11g : Overview

Data sources are required in order to connect mappings to your data
Defined in the Topology Navigator
A typical data source combines three ODI objects
A Data Server connection to a physical database
A Physical Schema connecting to a particular database account/schema
A Logical Schema, through a Context, that connects to a physical schema
Allows connections to be set up that keep
a common name (logical schema) that can
point to different physical sources
depending on environment (prod, test etc)
Data Servers
Connections through to physical data sources
Oracle database, directory of files, XML file, application server
For databases, defines the login that will be used to connect
Can subsequently be used to connect to multiple schemas
Made up of a name, credentials, and either JDBC or JNDI connection details
Creating a Data Server Part 1 : Select Technology

Select technology on which the data server is based
Right-click and select New Data Server
Creating a Data Server Part 2 : Enter Name and Connections

Enter name for data server
Enter connection details (username and password) if appropriate
Leave blank for files, XML etc
Creating a Data Server Connection to a JAX-WS Server

For web service (JAX-WS) connections, enter Base URL for published services
Also enter name for directory for saving web services into
Creating a Data Server Part 3 : Enter JDBC Connection Details

Select JDBC Driver from list
Select JDBC URL template from list
Use Test Connection button to test using default agent
Logical Schemas
The logical name (or alias ) for the schemas you will work with
Combined with a Context at run time, will point to a particular physical schema on
a particular data server
Allows us to create interfaces that work with logical schema names, and will not
need re-writing as we move between environments
Creating a Logical Schema Step 1 : Select Technology

Navigate to the Logical Architecture panel in the Topology Navigator
Select technology, right-click and select New Logical Schema
Creating a Logical Schema Step 2 : Enter Name

Type in a name for the logical schema
This will be the alias that you ll use for interfaces, models etc
We will define the context and physical schema next, to link this logical schema to
an actual database schema
Physical Schemas
The actual database schemas (within Data Servers) that contain the data
Two schemas are defined for each physical schema
The Schema (contains the data)
The Work Schema (where temporary tables are created)
If schema and work schema differs, make sure credentials used in associated
data server can create tables within each schema
Work Tables and Default Schemas

ODI creates temporary tables and other structures when executing mappings
E$ : Errors
C$ : Loading (extracts)
I$ : Integration (data loading)
J$, JV$, T$ : Journalizing (CDC)
These will go in the designated work schema
If you have more than one physical schema defined for a data store, the Default
work schema will be used
Contexts
Used for defining environments, allows a logical schema to map to more than one
physical schema
Default context is Global , can create others
Creating a Physical Schema Step 1 : Select Data Server

Navigate back to the Physical Architecture panel in the Topology Navigator
Right-click on the data server in which you will create the physical schema
Creating a Physical Schema Step 2 : Select Schemas from List

Select schema and work schema from the list visible via the data server
If more than one physical schema for this data server, select which is default
Creating a Physical Schema Step 3 : Define Context

Specify, for which context, this physical schema maps to a logical one
For simple systems (one environment), it will map 1:1
For multi-environment systems, define multiple contexts and map this physical
schema to the correct logical one using the appropriate context
Defining New Contexts

To define a new context, navigate to the Contexts panel, then select
New Context from the panel menu.
Name the context, and then use from that point in project
Hands-On Labs
Lab 2 : Data Servers, Logical & Physical Schemas, and Contexts
Summary
Data sources in ODI 11g are defined using the Topology navigator
Made up of data servers (physical databases, servers etc), logical and physical
schemas
One logical schema can map to multiple physical schemas, depending on context
Allows aliases to be defined that work across DEV, TEST, PROD environments
Connections can be made to databases, OLAP servers, files, XML etc
Connections are physically made using JDBC or JNDI drivers
