ETL Strategy #1



The ETL Load will be designed to extract data from all the required Data Sources. The data to feed the Next Gen BI Database will have to be brought from the sources with specific Extraction, Transformation & Load (ETL) processes. It is essential to define a good ETL strategy to ensure that the execution of these tasks will support appropriate data volumes and Design Should be Scalable, and Maintenance free.


Initial Load Strategy

The Initial Load process is there to support the requirement to include historical data that can’t be included through the regular Delta Refresh.
For the Next Gen BI project, it is expected to have a full extract available for the required sources to prepare an Initial Load prior to the regular Delta Refresh. This Initial extraction of the data will then flow through the regular transformation and load process.
As discussed in the control process, Control tables will be used to initiate the first iteration of the Initial ETL process, a list of source table name with extraction dates will be loaded in the control tables. ETL process can be kicked off through the scheduler and the ETL process will read the control tables and process the full extract.
The rest of the process for an Initial load is same as the delta refresh. As shown in the flow chart under the section (Delta from Sources extracted by Timestamp), The only difference is the loading of the control tables to start the process for the first time when a table gets loaded in the Data Warehouse.


Delta Refresh or CDC Strategy

The Delta refresh process will apply only the appropriate transactions to the Data Warehouse. The result is a greatly reduced volume of information to be processed and applied. Also the Delta transactions for the Warehouse can be reused as input for the different Data mart, since they will be part of the Staging area and already processed. As discussed in the Control Process Strategy, control tables will be used to control delta refresh process.
