ODI Installation Architecture

Hi,
I am installing ODI and new to this tool. I have the following concerns regarding installing it.
1) Can I install ODI on a windows server, and create master repository and work repository on some database server?
In other words, the system wherever ODI tool goes, does it need a RDBMS database installed to hold Master and work repositories?
2) Does it require to install ODI Agent on same machine as ODI tool? which is best way to install AGENT? whether on same machine as ODI or on source or on target?
3)If I install ODI tool on a central server for eg: on windows 2003 server, how can I make it to work with multiple users at same time?
Do I need to install ODI tool on all developers systems?
I really appreciate any suggestions you could provide.
thanks,
T

Hi T,
Can I complete some information from previous reply?
1) Yes, ODI works with Relational Repositories and will need RDBMS to work but it connects like any other software (but by JDBC), so, of course, you don't need it at same machine of database.
2) An agent is always necessary to execute scheduled process and the ideal environment should have an agent by RDBMS accessed. The agent architecture has few considerations and need to be reviewed very carefully. A bad agent architecture can slow down your process in a very significant way.
3) The ODI architecture still is "Client-Server" then you must have an installation by user. However I know that is possible use it with Central Server, Virtual Machine and Remote Desktop BUT is necessary take a look at licensing.
I hope to have helped.

  • Multiple users on the same ODI installation?

    Hi all
    is it possible to have multiple users working with the same odi installation? We have a virtualized IT infrastructure (citrix and wmware) where we can have multiple users on the same virtual instance. From our point of view, there is no licencing issue since we have a package covering literally everything.
    One of the issues are the config files stored in the installation directory of odi (../bin). Is there a way to tell odi to store them in a different location, eg. the user home?
    Thanks a lot
    Benno

    ODI looks in the current working directory for the configuration files, mostly you would have issues with the snps_login_work.xml and snps_login_security.xml files, but these may be common across all users. (just don't store the username/passwords for the ODI users in them).
    The way ODI works, most of what are creating is stored in the repository anyway, it is only local GUI config stuff that may be stored locally.
    Short answer, yes, you can, but might need to modify the config files a little to make it work.

  • Master repo,Work Repo and ODI installation

    Hi,
    I have following doubts for windows flatform.
    I am integrating two application systems say A(source) & B(Target) thier data located in different oracle db servers.
    1) ODI server installation will be on source server/target/any other machine?
    2)Where should i create master & work repositories on source/target server?
    3)If my target is remote host then where can i install and run agents?
    4)While creating physical schemas we can select the work schema as different,is this work schema acts like staging area? while designing the interfaces should i select this work schema as staging area? what is benefit of having this work schema different than my soruce/target schema.?
    5) I read that ODI will create temparory tables while executing ODI objects each time and these tables are junk data,should i drop all these temp tables in work schema,even after or before execution of the interface?
    Please clarify,
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Find my answers as below,
    1) ODI server installation will be on source server/target/any other machine? Its always recommend to install ODI in your TARGET server for good performance.
    2)Where should i create master & work repositories on source/target server?In TARGET server and make sure u have dedicated schema for work and master repos.
    3)If my target is remote host then where can i install and run agents?Again in TARGET host , u can only install ODI run time agent in seperate servers, have a look at ODI installation guide.
    4)While creating physical schemas we can select the work schema as different,is this work schema acts like staging area? Yes ODI will make use of work schema to create temparory tables ($ tables) and which will act like a staging area.
    while designing the interfaces should i select this work schema as staging area? No need to select any work schema as such while designing interface, only u need to select the respective LOGICAL schema which implicitly create the $ tables in the work schema u selected in PHYSICAL schema.
    what is benefit of having this work schema different than my soruce/target schema.? You will not require to have a dedicated "staging area" to consolidate your data from multiple/single source.
    5) I read that ODI will create temparory tables while executing ODI objects each time and these tables are junk data,should i drop all these temp tables in work schema,even after or before execution of the interface?No need. ODI will take care of DROPPING and CREATING $ tables on FLY.
    For simple data integration, 2 tables will be created at runtime, C$ and I$ which in turn will be dropped after loading to TARGET table.
    Makes sense?
    P.S: Experts comments are welcome.
    Thanks,

  • Clarifications on ODI installation (for FDM ERPi to drill through EBS)

    This is for drilling EBS from HFM and Planning through FDM. EPM is 11.1.2.2. ODI is 11.1.1.6.0.
    A sharing on the steps I am going to perform, anyone who has done it before or idea on how to do so please help me to have a look and validate. I found documentation on EPM and ODI installation separately but I don't find step-by-step guide to make the subject configuration work. Please let me know if you know one. Thanks a lot.
    The FDM ERPi component will be configured AFTER ODI is up and running. FDM and all other EPM components are up-and-running before the ODI installation.
    Steps to install/configure ODI:
    1. Create DB schema, one for MASTER and one for WORK, grant DB access according to the install guide
    2. Use Oracle RCU (Repository Creation Utility) v11.1.1.3.3 to populate the MASTER and WORK tables
    3. run ODI installer, using the jdk160 located in the ORACLE middleware home directory
    4. select all available components of ODI for installation i.e. ODI Studio (with local agent), ODI SDK, Standalone Installation, all under Java EE installation (Java EE Agent, ODI Console, Public Web Service)
    Have read the manual up to here, will update the thread when I go further, again feel free to comment.
    Last step, to trigger EPM configurator to configure the ERPi component

    Hello,
    In the situation you have described unless the Authentication mechanism and the style of that mechanism for all the environments (in this sitaution Hyperion vs. Oracle EBS) are identical then there is no unified approach. Generally when going from Hyperion into Oracle EBS the EBS landing page is returned prompting you for valid credentials.
    In order for this to work in on seemless move you would have to use OID with OSSO.
    OID = Oracle Internet Directory
    OSSO = Oracle Single Sign On
    Thank you,

  • Configure BI Apps on ODI installation

    Hi All,
    we have installed ODI 11g and BI Applications 11.1.1.8 (on Windows Server 2008) and we have need to use BI Apps (like standard mapping SDE, SIL, PLP ecc).
    Our installation works correctly, but, under “Projects” tab, we don’t have any object.
    How we can “configure” BI Apps on our ODI installation?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I stand to be corrected but...my understanding is that Oracle wanted to move away from informatica as the etl tool and released the 7.9.5.2 fusion edition with ODI.
    Then there was a change of direction and the later 7.9.6 releases are all supplied with an oem version of informatica.
    If you going with 7.9.6.1 and you do not want to use informatica you will have to custom build your etls....

  • ODI installation error while installing Public Services

    Hi All,
    I was trying to install ODI 11.1.1.7 after downloading the setup files from e-delivery.
    During the installation of Public web services, the setup prompts an error saying " stage\components\oracle.odi.webservice .......filegroup2.jar" is cannot be found.
    I checked my extracted files and found out that it was not present there.
    Am I missing out anything or it is part of the odi companion files ?

    The issue is actually with the setup files available on e-delivery. If you download the ODI setup available under EPM 11.1.2.3, the webservices, agent etc files are missing from the setup. First observation is the overall size of file is 1.7 GB which includes files from both Disk1 & Disk 2.
    For whole setup, download the setup from the ODI download page or from Oracle Business Intelligence page on e-delivery. In both the cases, whole setup is split into 2 disks of 1.7 and 1.1 GB respectively. After downloading them I did not face any issue.

  • ODI installation out of Oracle home

    Hi,
    I have to install Oracle Data Integrator on a development server where EPM 11.1.2 is already installed. I encounter the following error after setting the install folder (I leave it to default: D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1):
    OUI-10044: The selected Oracle Home location already contains an Oracle Home
    or APPL_TOP created while running a different OS
    I've done some research and found [ that post|http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/oui-10044], which didn't help much.
    Basically my ODI file shiphomeproperties.xml shows an OS id 233, which is good.
    The problem might be that I have two Oracle folders under C:/. One under "Program Files(x86)" that shows an OS id of 912 and another under "Program Files" which shows an OS id 233. Now I'm guessing that the Oracle installer looks into the wrong file...
    Now I might have a workaround, if I change the default install folder, for example to Oracle1, I can access the next step.
    My question is to know if it's ok to installl ODI in another Oracle home, is it ok to have two oracle home ?
    thanks for your help.

  • ODI runtime architecture

    Hi,
       I am new to ODI trying to figure out about ODI. I would like to know about the runtime architecture of the ODI and i tried to search in documents and forum i think i haven't got anything on that front.
       Could anybody list what are steps happen at runtime?
       1) How much space we would need in temporary(In case we are trying to integrate between files and tables source systems)?
    2) On source and target servers what files and others will be created as part of the execution?
    3) Is there any other infrastructure we have to worry about running few GB files loading into Oracle?
    4) Is there any parallel processing involved in ODI(as we have in Datastage) or it is limited by the way of source and target?
    Please shed light on anything else you think it might be helping as you would have experienced.
    Thanks

  • Suffering with ERPi/ODI installation

    Hi
    I am having great difficulty in configuring ERPi (11.1.2.1) and ODI (11.1.1.5)
    The source is Peoplesoft Financials and the target is Planning.
    I have been wading through the documentation and am having problems in setting this up.
    ODI - I have a master/work single repo which I created using the RCU.
    I have created a logical schema for Planning, ERPI (Oracle) and PSoft (Generic SQL) also a File schema for ERPI.
    I have created physical data servers for planning, ERPI and PSoft and also physical schemas. I am not sure what contexts are or mean and where they fit into the setup.
    Do I then need to import files from the C:\Oracle\EPM\EPMSystem11R1\products\FinancialDataQuality\odi folder?
    I only have the following.
    Adapters, scenarios and topology folder. I thought there were projects that could be imported form there but I only have 'load plans and scenarios'
    I am completely confused, does anyone have any good tips, docs, screenshots, URLs anything? that can help.
    I have tried various Oracle ODI docs, and feel like I'm going round in circles.
    thanks
    Ed.

    Hello,
    Look at this Oracle document through Support.Oracle.com.

    We tried installing ODI on Solaris but there seems to be some issue with the Universal Installer. We installed all .pkg's but no luck.
    Alternately, we followed end up doing a manual install of ODI by creating dir and copying the required files from the Win ODI install.

    Hi ,
    Are you installing ODI data quality and profiling option ?
    Are you going to use ODP/ODQ ?
    If not then while installing ODI choose ODI only (the 2nd option)
    The error received by you is due to a specific part of ODI - which is ODP/ODQ.
    If you are not going to use ODP/ODQ then choose ODI only installation and no need to bother about the warning .
