Content Development with IDE

This stage is the final stage of the content development on DataWarehouse side. The outcome of this step is the ready-to-be-distributed Product Content Pack (iCP) and the delta artifacts for the Core content pack.

The Integrated Content Pack (iCP) is the set of the artifacts that describe the data flows and data transformations for the logical entities. The iCP belongs to one source product only (e.g. AM, PPM, SM) and contains the metadata of:

  • Source Content Packs

    • The content packs that contain all source entities metadata

    • The separate source content pack exists for each product version and the type of extractor used

  • Integration Content Pack

    • Contains the Integration Entities metadata

    • Unlike Source entities, the integration entity is not dependent on the product version and extractor type therefore multiple source entities are mapped to the one integration entity.

  • Column Mapping

    • Contains the metadata of the column mappings between the Integration entity and the Target entity.

 

The Core Content pack contains the metadata for all the target entities and the intersections between them and is the basic content pack for the DataWarehouse. It is deployed automatically during ITBA Content Pack installation

DWH Content Development includes the following steps:

  1. Define the target model in the Architect Designer.
  2. Define the ETL in the Engineer Designer.
  3. Generate ETL artifacts from IDE .
  4. Customize the SSI scripts.
  5. Copy the artifacts into your ITBA environment.
  6. Deploy the Content Pack.
  7. Run the ETL and verify the operation and correctness.
