Basics of OWB and Informatica
OWB
Informatica PowerCenter
1. OWB was designed as an ELT/ETL tool
that targets Oracle databases only
Informatica PowerCenter an ETL tool that
is database-agnostic
2. It does its work inside of the database
(it truly is ELT.)
Informatica does its work outside of the
database. Processes spawned by the
server using parallelism, etc. to increase
efficiency.
3. Stores metadata in database repository Stores metadata in database repository
4. Metadata can be exported/imported as
xml files
Metadata can be exported/imported as xml

6.
Future database releases beyond
Database 12 would not be certified with
OWB 11.2 (last version)
Continue to shine!
Basics of OWB and Informatica (Contd.)
• Metadata structure
• OWB export from the repository
• PowerCenter export from the repository
OWB to PWC Conversion tool
• Overview
• Both OWB and PowerCenter uses XML format to import/export
metadata
• Conversion tool is developed using Informatica B2B Data
Transformation, which has got all inbuilt capabilities to handle
complex XML formats
• Tool parses OWB XML and converts it into an equivalent
PowerCenter XML format.
• Deploying to PowerCenter is as simple as importing PowerCenter
XML using standard Informatica import utility.

OWB Metadata Analysis
• This conversion tool is packaged with the OWB metadata
analysis tool which gives some insight on the entire
metadata which will be migrated to Informatica.
• Analysis report will have information on the number of
transformations being used in each of the mappings and
their by assigns the complexity to each of the mappings
• Report is really useful to plan the migration project and to
decide efforts and timelines.
OWB Metadata Analysis(contd.)
• Sample report
Benefits of using conversion tool
• Guaranteed ROI
• Minimize the risk in migration project
• Automatic is faster
• Automatic costs less
• Automatic is more consistent
• Can be easily extended to meet specific needs
