Deployment of OWB-ETL? How did you do it?

Hi folks,
I'm considering the deployment of a large set of Mappings in OWB that are part of the population of a Data Warehouse.
I see that the the Process Flow/Oracle Workflow is one suggestion for developing and deploying the framework for bringing these various Mappings under one logical unit.
However I'm begining to wonder if the investment in the skills and training and effort required to implement the process flows in Oracle Workflow are worth it.
I want to take a poll and also find out what people who implemented medium to large ETL using OWB have to say about this.
a) What tool did you use to logically bind together the various mappings in your Warehouse.
b) If you did create process flows, were you able to implement it with Oracle Workflow, and if so whats the stability of that system?
c) If you did indeed create a Process Flow, have you tried running or implemented that workflow (XPDL file) in any of the other commercially available or Open Source workflow engines out there? If so please detail your experience.
Thanks,
Sridhar

I have done a nuance of this with one SFDC instance partitioned with multiple Record Types (a virtual new instance)  The record type kept the contact from being visible to multiple business units and allowed for 'intentional' duplicates.
We had at one time 5 different BUs with possible contact overlap.
I have also implemented a single Eloqua instance with 2 BUs and 2 CRMs.  The logic for lead flow was the big challenge.  We turned off the native Activity write to the CRM systems and instead used the contact activity overview link.  Though not ideal, it solved for a ton of failed API calls where the contact/lead ID did not exist in Eloqua.
Every situation is unique, there are no easy answers for this scenario. 
I am happy to get on the phone with you to talk more.

    "Did you make the .psd file with a transparent background (checkerboard) in Photoshop? And when you placed it in AI did you choose the top option Convert Photoshop Layers to Objects?"
    Yep, and it still didn't work.
    But I figured what I did wrong: I was selecting both the text and the heart, and then I was doing the whole Object>Wrap Text>Make thing, as opposed to just selecting the heart and doing it. Once I did it, I moved the heart around on top of the text, and it "made room" for the pic, wrapping itself around the heart.
    Thanks so much, and thanks A MILLION for being so patient.

  • I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer?

    Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

  • How did you feel about your first mac?

    As an early christmas present I received a 13 inch macbook air, 2GB RAM and 1.86GHz dual core cpu.
    I am mostly used to PC laptops running linux or often I put solaris on them. I study Computer Science and have Asperger's Syndrome.
    I got my mac as windows had too much bloatware and Linux was too unstable on my 64-bit hardware (needed 6 GiB RAM for large compilations). I was going to use the macbook air to take notes and some minor work between classes such as writing assembly subroutines, C and java. The primary use of this system was going to be as a personal assistant to have my calendar and files etc.
    The system is so powerful with a full 12 hours battery life when working on the localhost that it can out-do a 2.4GHz dual core with 6 GiB RAM PC running any OS. This system is now used for all my work due to it's capabilities and portability. After only one week with a mac I dont know how I lived without one, and my carer says it has made me show immense improvements day-to-day. I am now tempted to learn Objective-C as well as how to use Cocoa from Python to be more efficient, especially after seeing the perfection in this system.
    How did you feel when you got your first mac?

    A related question might be, what did you think about the introduction of the IBM PC?
    I had been designing digital systems and working with computers for a few years before the PC's introduction in 1981. The mainstay systems were 8 bit Z80 or 8085 machines running at 4 or 6 MHz. They ran CP/M with its command line interface. Although the maximum memory these systems could use was 64 MB, being a single user, single-task operating sytem, even the most resource-hungry programs (word processors for instance) ran very fast. CP/M itself needed only a few K.
    Dual floppy disk systems were common, 180 KB per disk unless you had double sided floppies - 360 K. The A drive booted the operating system, after which you could insert a program disk. The B drive held your data. I had one machine with a whopping 5 MB hard disk - the C drive. I treated it with special reverence.
    When rumors began about IBM producing its version of a desktop PC, many people including myself had grand expectations. Clearly Big Blue would emerge as the leader in desktop computers, since they had the resources to dictate what the standard would be. Everyone knew the others would be left in the dust. What kind of processor would it use? How much memory? Would it have a slimmed down version of the multiuser, multitasking operating system used in its System/34 minicomputer? Or would it resemble something that DEC used in its PDP-11?
    Well, when the IBM PC came out in 1981, needless to say it was an enormous disappointment. It wasn't much better than anything else I had already been using for three or four years already, except the PC was much, much more expensive. No hard disk unless you wanted to buy an upgraded power supply (more $$$) and then all they offered was 10 MB. Forget about multiple users or multitasking. It didn't even have the equivalent of CP/M's PIP. The whole thing seemed... intentionally crippled. This was supposed to be the future of computing? In my opinion it was a major step backward. The XT that followed it offered only minimal improvements. I rejected the IBM PC as not cost effective and kept using my CP/M dinosaurs.
    So, when Apple introduced the Macintosh a couple years later I finally saw, in the flesh, what I thought a computer ought to be. A totally bit mapped display, a robust 16/32 bit processor, real sound capability (everything before it could only "beep") and a true graphical UI. You could name a file anything you want, no 8x3 idiocy. +To this day+ Windows carries remnants of 8x3 filenames!
    The Macintosh blew away the PC, if not in performance, in its potential. Unlike the "crippled" PC the Mac seemed limitless. This was cool. The Mac wasn't without limitations though - there was no good way to install a hard disk for instance - but for some reason I considered those limitations trivial and believed they would be overcome in the near future. I waited for the first "upgrade" - the "Fat Mac" with a whopping 512K memory. Half a megabyte!
    I used that computer for several years, until the SE/30 came out, which I kept in service for about ten years. I ultimately expanded its memory to 32 MB while PC users were struggling with extended memory or expanded memory - you had to know which was which - to get beyond the PC's stupid 640K barrier. My 30 MB HD eventually grew small, but that was easily remedied with an external SCSI drive. Although the computer did everything I ever expected it to do, the Internet eventually made it functionally obsolete. It could run a browser (forget which one) but the black and white limitation made it marginally useful.
    I eventually replaced it with an iMac, which echoed the original Mac's introduction with its forward-thinking design. The iMac opened up a new world in much the same way the original Macintosh did in 1984.
    All my Macs still work.

    That pretty much sums it up.
    In retrospect, I believe that IBM and its marriage of convenience with Microsoft delayed the evolution of desktop computing a decade or more. I cringe whenever I think of the aggregate productivity loss and utter frustration shared by millions of PC / Windows devotees all these years.

  • How did YOU learn Java?

    Ok, two part question and a bunch of help for this Java newbie:
    1. How did you learn Java? Online tutorials, books, discussions, a game, or a class? Be specific and think back to when you looked at a Java program and went "wtf?"
    2. How do you keep up the new versions and therefore, useless older classes? I am reading the list on JDK 1.4 and just thinking, how could I remember all of this? If I'm used to programming one way, how can I relearn for every version?
    If I could just get some honest answers and opinions, it'd be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

    Get this:
    I originally 'learned' Java from "Java Made Simple" by Peter McBride. "Made Simple" is right: having finished this book, I had no idea that you could design your own classes for use by other classes! All my methods were static, I'd never written a constructor or instantiated one of my own classes, and my applications were all contained in a single class! I had only the vaguest notion of what "object oriented" meant, and I wondered why, for example, you had to say
    Integer x = new Integer(4);
    but not
    int x = new int(4);
    The book was intended, I think, for non-programmers who have been given some free space by their ISP to design a web page, and want to add some v. simple applets for decoration. Beware of books like this if you want to learn Java in a serious way.
    For a more positive tip, I recommend Sun's very own online Java Tutorial. It covers all the key topics thoroughly and clearly, so at the end you have a good understanding of Java (More than just the basics, I'd say). If you want to move on to more advanced topics this tutorial will probably stand you in good stead (I can't be certain as I haven't moved on from here yet myself), but if you don't you will still be able to write good amateur programs.

    Having the same issue after downloading the lastest version of itunes. Apple is going to lose me as a customer, if this keeps up with their software updates. They never seem to work.
    Really, they should want me to be able to access their store. That's money out of their pocket. 
    Honestly, I don't know why Apple doesn't have a techie monitering their support threads trying to help fix issues.
    I don't have McAffee, so that wouldn't be my issue. I guess, I'll keep checking back to see if anyone has figured anything out.
    I can't seem to sync my ipad, now either. Ebay is sounding really good.

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPhone 6 recently stopped ringing and making text alert sounds since most recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

    AFter recent upgrade to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 6 no longer makes text alert sounds and ring does not sound for incoming calls (except on car bluetooth).  has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you correct?

    I had the same problem until tonight. Played with ring tones, do not disturb, volume, and everything else posted. What I found is that when you go to sounds/text tone, there are two types of tones in the scrolling menu. The top set of tones are for alert tones and the bottom set are ringtones. They are separated by a gray bar that states their purpose. Many of the tones are the same name. You need to set your text alert in the Ringtones and reminders, alarms, and such in alerts. The weird thing about this menu is when you go to sounds/ringtone the menu is reversed. Mine works in locked mode or unlocked now. I have an Iphone 6 8.1.2. My problem started after my latest OS upgrade. Hope this helps.
