Course Description

Course Overview

The Oracle Data Integrator 19c (ODI) course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of Oracle’s data integration solution. Participants will learn how to leverage ODI to efficiently and effectively integrate and transform data from various sources into target systems. The course covers topics such as ODI architecture, data models, mappings, transformations, and best practices for data integration projects. Participants will gain hands-on experience with ODI tools and techniques to develop, deploy, and manage data integration solutions.

Prerequisites

To derive maximum benefit from this course, participants should have a basic understanding of relational database concepts and familiarity with SQL. Prior knowledge of ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) concepts and data integration tools would be beneficial but not mandatory.

Methodology

The course utilizes a combination of theoretical instruction, demonstrations, and hands-on labs. Participants will receive detailed explanations of ODI concepts and techniques, followed by practical demonstrations of their implementation. They will also have the opportunity to apply their learning in hands-on labs, gaining practical experience in developing and managing data integration solutions using ODI. The course is delivered through instructor-led sessions, allowing participants to interact, ask questions, and engage in discussions.
