http://www.kpipartners.com/watch-unpacking-the-new-oracle-bi-apps-now-with-odi ... The new release of the Oracle BI Applications (11.1.1.7.1) now leverages Oracle Data Integrator (ODI). This huge development means that ODI can alternatively be utilized as the primary data integration tool over Informatica. ODI and its Extract-Load-Transform functionality could provide customers a setup that delivers increased performance and reduced data integration costs.
Watch this on-demand recording to see an overview of the latest Oracle Business Intelligence Applications architecture as well as a detailed look into each of the components of the new BI Apps. Vikas Agrawal (KPI) and Hari Cherukupally (Oracle) explore:
ODI for BI Apps architecture
Components of the BI Applications
Integration with operational systems: Is this supported ERP/CRM sources or application integration?
Fusion Middleware components: How is this different from OBIA components?

A Load Plan is the largest executable object in ODI, using scenarios in
its steps.
② Packages, interfaces, variables, and procedures can be added to Load
Plans for executions in scenarios.
Load plans are not substitutes for packages or scenarios,
but are used to organize at a higher level, the execution of packages
and scenarios.
③ Load Plans also support exception handling strategies, in the event a
scenario ends in error.

Superior handling of deletes
A Load Plan is an executable object in Oracle Data Integrator that can contain a hierarchy of steps that can be executed conditionally, in parallel, or in series. The leaves of this hierarchy are scenarios. The set of scenarios that makes up a Load Plan can involve the execution of packages, interfaces, variables, and procedures.
Load Plans also support exception handling strategies in the event of a scenario ending in error.
Load Plans can be started, stopped, and restarted from a command line, from Oracle Data Integrator Studio, Oracle Data Integrator Console, or a Web Service interface. They can also be scheduled using the runtime agent’s built-in scheduler or an external scheduler. When a Load Plan is executed, a Load Plan Instance is created. Each attempt to run this Load Plan Instance is a separate Load Plan Run.
A Load Plan can be modified in production environments and steps can be enabled or disabled according to the production needs. Load Plan objects can be designed and viewed in the Designer and Operator Navigators. Various design operations (such as create, edit, delete, and so forth) can be performed on a Load Plan object if a user connects to a development Work Repository, but some design operations will not be available in an execution Work Repository. After it is created, a Load Plan is stored in the Work Repository. The Load Plan can be exported then imported to another repository and executed in different contexts.
Repository for Configuration Manager and FSM
Contains BI Apps product hierarchy, setup objects (parameters, domain mappings), list of functional tasks, load plan definitions
* In this release, all repositories are only supported on Oracle DB.
Use Cases Supported
Customer upgrading later to an SDS architecture without needing to restart their ETL
Customer deploying one module using the SDS and switching other modules to using the SDS as they go along
Customer switching back an incremental to the OLTP for sourcing data (for whatever reason) even as a one off.
GoldenGate – a service on both database systems that performs:
On the source database system - continuous asynchronous change data capture 'CDC' at a low level in the database, then compresses and ships the changed data across the network to…
On the target database system - receives the changed data from one or more source systems and loads them into the target database (into the SDS schemas, 1 per source).
Drastically Reduced Impact on Source System & Reduced ETL Runtimes
