Re: [U2] What tools do you use for data warehouse...
Hi, We use a in-house ETL which is based on DICT independant "table/column" definition. The user interface to define table/column is a SB+ app ; easy to use. At first, you define you tables and columns to be created/loaded into your dw ; each table are linked to one datafile and in case of mv/sv'ed; linked to a "controling" field (mv/sv) Next, you define each column by setting their sql properties, the source of the value (attribute number or sb+.expression) ; the human label of the column ; with it you can create "transformed" data. (by default you can retrieve the dictionnaries) here a screen sample : http://wiki.infodata.lu/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=public/etl/etl_dw_defn1.png With these table/columns definition, the system build sql-stmt to create the table into the dw and load the data into the table via insert / loadinto ,... After what, the ETL send the sql-stmt to the dw. The sql-stmts are build from sql dialect-templates then , we can adress all SQL dbms After what, you can define datamarts ; as a set of tables, and request immediate or, via crontab/taskmanager, sheduled refreshing processus of one/* datamart For more details, send me a mail. manu > -Message d'origine- > De : u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users- > boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] De la part de Tom Whitmore > Envoyé : vendredi 26 avril 2013 19:50 > À : U2 Users List > Objet : [U2] What tools do you use for data warehouse... > > Hi, > I was wondering what tools you use to export data to an SQL data warehouse > from UniVerse.

Re: [U2] What tools do you use for data warehouse...
Samba running on the server is nice because the user only needs to map a windows drive to it, the UNIX server doesn't have to replicate that directory out to a windows client. All the work load is on the client. Windows apps like excel and access will allow you to imbed the network path i.e. \\150.0.0.105\tmp\file.name and as long as you authenticated to the network and have rights to the file, you get it. in UNIX "ln-s /dbms/live/MIDVALE/CUSTOMER/CUSTOMER/CUSTLIST CUSTLIST" puts access only to the directory CUSTLIST and nothing else. if the logical link is created in the samba directory, the unidata owner owns it, samba owner can access it but not delete it or change it, just copy it. you can chgown it, chgrp it or chgmod it depending on your needed rights. I use logical links all over the place to manage temp files, protect the file system from overloads, secure directories and efficiently manage disk space. For our international plants who use databases on the same box residing in the USA, it's easier to make a temp CIFS directory to exchange large files unrelated to the UNIX system but too large to just e-mail. Those plants already have a mapped directory to the box on each workstation so dropping image files and the like into a custom folder and allowing them the rights to remove and insert those files with minimal impact on the UNIX box and the network secure tunnels between the plants make sense without overloading the internet mail systems. If I ever get time to play with Java programming some more, I would like to write some custom windows apps to pull data from the plants and insert them into access automatically, no time for the wicked.

Re: [U2] What tools do you use for data warehouse...
There is really no reason to export the data from Universe. When I created the data warehouse product for Eclipse we simply collected all the data from the various transaction files associated with a specific reporting function and wrote them out on demand for a given query to a flattened out Universe file specifically designed to accommodate reporting/SQL. For example all of the data pertaining to sales for a particular time period on a sales order line item by line item basis as records. One the data is in an "SQL friendly" normalized format (and perhaps even moved to a non-production server) all of the popular data warehouse reporting tools (Cognos, Pentaho, MS Business Intelligence, SAP Crystal Solutions, etc) can be used via ODBC to create your "slice and dice" graphical reporting. If you absolutely HAVE to export the data I would recommend the simplest possible solution, tab delimited flat files since pretty much any SQL database can import that. Tom Whitmore wrote: Hi, I was wondering what tools you use to export data to an SQL data warehouse from UniVerse. This export could occur on multiple flavors of Unix.

Re: [U2] What tools do you use for data warehouse...
Dump it to a pointer on a CIFS volume on the server, all they or anyone will see is the file from a mapped windows workstation drive. I think our Programmer, Brooke has incorporated an export function in our Salesorders to automatically dump shipping data from every Salesorder and append it to a file in a CIFS directory. Our FedEx/UPS Computers in the US, Ireland and England automatically pull that data file real-time, or sort of real-time to create the shipments. We do lots of data exports for excell and access.
