About Scheduling Design Objects to Execute

OWB provides these scheduling options:

• Integrated job scheduling in OWB (This feature is available if you have the Enterprise ETL option)

• Scheduling with Oracle Enterprise Manager to run ETL jobs

• Integration with third party schedulers

Integration with Third-party Schedulers

Integration with third-party schedulers depends on the features of the third party scheduler. For example, mappings and process flows in OWB are PL/SQL packages, and if there is a way in a third party scheduler to invoke a PL/SQL package, then refer to the documentation for that third party scheduler. You can also expose a mapping or a process flow as a Web Service if you are using a product like Oracle BPEL that can invoke Web services as part of orchestrating complex processes.
