Hi Folks,
Quite some time since I have written to you.Well it has been an interesting phase of my career where I have now got an opportunity to drive an OBIA implementaion with the latest version 11.1.1.7.1 for one of our client here in the United States.
Some of the newer things that we will be working on is Fusion Middleware.Oracle has moved the whole suite of OBIA applications to weblogic server with an aim to have a single point for design execution and manufacturing of OBI analytics.
An interesting thing would also be the use of Oracle Data Integrator as the ETL tool instead of Informatica.Oracle has managed to do a good job of converting all Informatica mappings to ODI interfaces.The first look seems quite promising.We completed a full load for few analytics and the results look great.
Of course there are some beginner hiccups with ODI and we have raised quite a few SRS to tackle them but the overall feel looks good.For someone who has worked with Informatica as the ETL tool for OBIA ,for quite some years now ..ODI doesnt make me uncomfortable or uneasy.
Over the years it might well be a great investment for Oracle.
Will keep you posted on the challenges and issues faced.
Till then Good Bye.
