welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Connect to Oracle Databases Set up locations to connect to database sources and targets. This generic discussion applies to Oracle and non-Oracle databases. welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Import Design Metadata from Data Sources Pull definitions of existing objects from databases and applications into your project. welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Connect through Gateways and ODBC Use Oracle heterogeneous services to access non-Oracle data sources and targets. welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Design Relational Objects Define source and target relational database objects using the OWB Design Center. welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Connect through JDBC Work with a wide variety of non-Oracle sources without using Oracle gateways. welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Design Cubes and Dimensions Take advantage of OWB's advanced support for dimensional objects in the Oracle database. welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Access Flat File Sources Use delimited files, fixed-length files, binary files and XML files as sources in your ETL mappings. welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Sample Flat Files to Derive Structure Let OWB help you figure out the contents and structure of your flat file data. welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Integrate Enterprise Application Data Include SAP R/3 sources, and Oracle E-Business Suite, Siebel, Peoplesoft and MDM hub applications as sources or targets in your ETL mappings. welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Set up Flat Files as Targets Set up structure of supported flat file source and target types (delimited, fixed-length, binary and XML files). welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Integrate with Oracle Business Intelligence Tools Generate metadata for OBI SE (Discoverer) and OBI EE based on your warehouse design. welcomeImages/kd_coach.png Import COBOL Copybook Metadata Import accurate design metadata for mainframe data from the source, instead of sampling
