What is GG and how it works?

Capture: Committed changes are captured (and can be filtered) as they occur by reading the transaction logs.

Trail files: Stages and queues data for routing. Pump: Distribute data for routing to multiple targets. Route: Data is compressed, encrypted for routing to targets. Delivery: Applies data with transaction integrity, transforming the data as required.

Business Impacts
Comparing to Manual Coding : Productivity (number of langauges to use, prebuilt code (no need to write SQL)) Maintaince (hard to change smt, every script contains special rules in several machines)and Peformance and availabilty and Costs (E-LT) Comparing to other ETL : Costs (ELT) and Productivity (still manual coding and SQL tuning)

Where it is happening
Customers with recent M&A activities (looking to reduce capital costs) Customer has dedicated cluster of ETL servers running at/near capacity and is looking to add capacity Large teams of ETL development staff are fully engaged with maintenance activity and not able to take on new projects Siebel, PeopleSoft, JDEdwards applications customers since they are more likely to have heterogeneous environments and to value heterogeneous database support.

DB ESB depends ODI DB ODI ODI

XML File DB
Between 10-50MB

Depends on ho much cross-referencing among the data values and rows is required during transformation the more there is, the faster ODI will perform relative to ESB
