Native Support for Heterogeneous Databases

OWB now provides extensive built-in support for non-Oracle databases. JDBC connectivity is added alongside previous support for ODBC and database gateways, and OWB now supports in-database ELT operations on non-Oracle databases. Other enhancements improve access to data from non-Oracle sources such as mainframe and flat file data.

Features in this area include:

• Code Template Mappings and JDBC Connectivity Support

• Enhanced Support for Flat File Imports

• Extensible Platform Framework

• Java-Based (J2EE) Control Center Agent

• Metadata Import from COBOL Copybooks
