What are ODI Procedures?

ODI Procedures are macros that comprise a set of commands created to
perform administration tasks
Can make use of database commands, OS commands or ODI Tools
Can have options to modify their behavior
Reusable components that are typically included in packages
Differentiated from KMs in that they are
generally concerned with admin +
maintenance tasks, rather than ELT/ETL
