Get BODI job schedule info from repository

Here is a query that you can run on the BODI repository to fetch the job schedule details.

Select upper (al_lang.NAME) as jobname,
upper (al_sched_info.sched_name) as schedule_name,
al_sched_info.start_time as start_time,
al_sched_info.host_name host_server
from di_edw.al_lang al_lang full outer join di_edw.al_sched_info al_sched_info on al_lang.guid = al_sched_info.job_guid
where active = 1
and al_lang.object_type = 0
and TYPE = 0
and al_lang.object_key =
(SELECT MAX (object_key)
FROM di_edw.al_lang l
WHERE l.NAME = al_lang.NAME AND l.object_type = 0 AND l.TYPE = 0)
ORDER BY 1, 2

Migration of a DW solution from Oracle to DB2

Recently we migrated an entire DW module from Oracle to DB2. And our ETL was done using Business Objects Data Integrator.

Below is a sequence of steps that we followed to migrate the entire solution (including data structures, ETL code and universe)

Assumption:
–>All estimates done for 4 DB2 databases, 3 federated systems, 62 tables, 33 indexes, 6 DI jobs, 110 data flows, 151 transformations, 16 SQL transforms, 34 SQL() scripts, 220 objects in 23 classes and 2 reports.
–>Add 20% time as buffer for unexpected issues.
–>Some tasks can be executed in parallel, while some have strong dependency on completion of previous tasks.

Work breakdown of migration and rough estimation:

1. Initiation & planning : 40 Hrs
Establish objectives and goals
Requirements gathering
Establish scope
Plan resources
Identify development environment

2. Assessment : 40 Hrs
Assess tool and technology needs
Assess and understand technical requirements
Establish technical guidelines
Finalize tools and development environment

from ALVW_FLOW_STAT
where OBJECT_TYPE = ‘Oracle Loader’
And dataflow_name =’&DF_NAME’
