ODI Resource Configuration

Before you configure the ODI scanner, please make sure you fulfill the prerequisites. Read our guide on ODI integration requirements to double-check.

Filtering

When it is only necessary to extract and analyze certain scenarios, the ODI scanner’s include/exclude mechanism can be used. This mechanism allows users to define which scenarios will be included or excluded when an extraction of the ODI repository is run. There are two configurable properties that affect this behavior: odi.extractor.extractedScenarios and odi.extractor.excludedScenarios. Both of these properties can be set to a comma-separated list of regular expressions.

Extracted scenarios are then precisely those which are included and not excluded. A scenario is included if its name matches at least one of the regular expressions in odi.extractor.extractedScenarios. If odi.extractor.extractedScenarios is empty, then all scenarios are included. A scenario is excluded if it matches at least one of the regular expressions in odi.extractor.excludedScenarios. If odi.extractor.excludedScenarios is empty, no scenarios are excluded.

For example, if both odi.extractor.extractedScenarios and odi.extractor.excludedScenarios are empty, all scenarios are extracted. If odi.extractor.extractedScenarios is set to SCEN_.* and odi.extractor.excludedScenarios is set to SCEN_1,SCEN_2,SCEN_3, then all scenarios with a name starting with SCEN_ are extracted except SCEN_1, SCEN_2, and SCEN_3.

The regular expressions used in these properties are applied to names of scenarios without a version. For example, if you want to exclude scenarios which were extracted into the files SOME_SCENARIO_001.xml and OTHER_SCENARIO_002.xml, you should set odi.extractor.excludedScenarios to SOME_SCENARIO,OTHER_SCENARIO. For the change to take effect, the extraction needs to be rerun or the excluded files need to be deleted manually.

Source System Properties

This configuration can be setup by creating a new connection on Admin UI > Connections tab or editing an existing connection in Admin UI / Connections / Data Integration Tools / ODI / specific connection. New connection can also be created via Manta Orchestration API.

Property name

Description

Example

odi.extractor.repository

Name of an ODI repository that will appear in IBM Manta Data Lineage physical repository as identification of this source system. It should also be unique across all technologies, and it is recommended to set this value to match the Connection Name property for easy identification and management.

template

odi.extractor.context

Prior to R40: Name of an ODI context (execution environment) to be extracted and used

As of R40: Name of an ODI context (execution environment) to be used during analysis (all contexts are extracted automatically)

Global

odi.extractor.driver

Specific JDBC driver class name for access to your existing ODI repository. This depends on the flavor of database that you use for the ODI repository. In most cases, it is Oracle. See the https://docs.oracle.com/applications/biapps102/etl/GUID-E57BA145-E58B-4750-B0AB-38BE422995B5.htm#BIAET24437 and https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/data-integrator-cloud/tutorial-creating-oracle-data-integrator-repository/index.html for more context about ODI repositories.

oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

odi.extractor.url

JDBC Connection string to the database where the ODI repository is stored. This is dependent on the repository database. In most cases it is Oracle. See the https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/jjdbc/data-sources-and-URLs.html#GUID-C4F2CA86-0F68-400C-95DA-30171C9FB8F0 for more details on the connection string syntax.

jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521/pdborcl

odi.extractor.user

User for the connection to the ODI repository

DEV_ODI_REPO

odi.extractor.password

Password for the connection to the ODI repository

password

odi.extractor.masterRepositorySchema

Enter a master repository schema (schema containing ODI tables such as SNP_TECHNO)

odi_repository_master_schema

odi.extractor.workRepositorySchema

Enter a work repository schema (schema containing ODI tables such as SNP_SCEN or SNP_PACKAGE)

odi_repository_work_schema

odi.extractor.extractedScenarios

List of scenarios to extract or empty (for all), separated by commas (see the Filtering section above)


odi.extractor.excludedScenarios

List of scenarios to exclude from extraction or empty, separated by commas (see the Filtering section above)


odi.extractor.ssl.truststorePath

Path to the truststore containing the ODI server certificate for encrypted exchange or the CA-signed certificate (as of R38 up to R38.1). See Scanner HTTPS Configuration. (As of R40, the truststore configuration has been moved to Common CLI Configuration.)

JKS and PKCS12 formats are supported.

This must be used in conjunction with proper configuration of the connection string (odi.extractor.url property), namely with:

  • (PROTOCOL = TCPS)

  • (PORT = ****) — the default port for the secure JDBC endpoint is 2484

  • If necessary, (SECURITY (ssl_server_cert_dn="********")) to set the arbitrary hostname expected in the server certificate

See https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/ssl-connection-to-oracle-db-using-jdbc-tlsv12-jks-or-oracle-wallets-122-and-lower for details on configuring the JDBC connection using the connection string.

${manta.dir.scenario}/conf/mantaConnectorsTruststore.pkcs12

odi.extractor.ssl.truststorePassword

Password for the truststore at odi.extractor.ssl.truststorePath (as of R38 up to R38.1; as of R39, the truststore configuration has been moved to Common CLI Configuration)
