Data Warehousing - Process Managers Data Warehouse Load Manager This Component performs the operations required to extract and load process. The size and complexity of load manager varies between specific solutions from data warehouse to data warehouse. LOAD MANAGER ARCHITECTURE The load manager does the following functions. Extract the data from source system. Fast Load the extracted data into temporary data store. Perform simple transformations into structure similar to the one in the data warehouse. EXTRACT DATA FROM SOURCE The data is extracted from the operational databases or the external information providers. Gateways is the application programs that are used to extract data.

Data Warehousing - System Processes & Architecture

Image
Data Warehousing - System Processes We have fixed number of operations to be applied on operational databases and we have well defined techniques such as   use normalized data , keep table small   etc. These techniques are suitable for delivering a solution. But in case of decision support system we do not know what query and operation need to be executed in future. Therefore techniques applied on operational databases are not suitable for data warehouses. In this chapter We'll focus on designing data warehousing solution built on the top open-system technologies like Unix and relational databases. Process Flow in Data Warehouse There are four major processes that build a data warehouse. Here is the list of four processes: ·          Extract and load data. ·          Cleaning and transforming the data. ·          Backup and Archive the data. ...
