This is a common approach.

Should be ok if:

* transporting the ftp files is part of the ETL process
* big fat pipe to the servers.

        Subject:        ETL architecture


Hi,

On all DW project I've been, the ETL tool was on the
database server containing the DW database.

On the current project, the architecture team has
decided that the ETL tool (Data Junction) will be on
its own server (Windows) to service all projects
needing  ETL processing.
We are the first client of this approach. All sources
will ftp their files on the unix box where the
staging/data integration database is. 
So that means that the the ETL tool on server A will
read the files and the reference tables from server B,
process that on server A and insert the cleansed data
on server B.

Somewhere I'm not confortable with that approach.
Any comments ?
