Static vs Flow control in Oracle Data Integrator

FLOW CONTROL :

Data quality validation is done before loading the data into target tables.

Check Control Knowledge Module (CKM) will create E$ table and SNP_CHECK_TAB table for data quality check.

It will validate data in I$ table before inserting data into target table. If it has any errors then it will delete from I$ table and insert into E$ table and common error message and interface name into SNP_CHECK_TAB

STATIC CONTROL :

Data quality validation is done after loading the data into target tables.

CKM will validate data on target table and if any error is detected it will be inserted to E$ table and SNP_CHECK_TAB. Remember that the incorrect entry will not be deleted as in Flow control. 

What are the different temporary tables created in ODI ?

Oracle Data Integrator will create temporary tables during the data transformation and loading/integration.
Let us study about these temp tables.

  1. E$ table: This is generated by Check Control Knowledge Module (CKM) if flow control is enabled.
  2. I$ table: Created by Integration Knowledge Module (IKM). After LKM loads the data into C$ table, the IKM will load these into I$ table.
  3. J$ table: Created during the implementation of Change Data Capture (CDC). This is created by Journalizing Knowledge module (JKM)
  4. C$ table: The LKM creates the "C$" temporary table in the staging area. This table will hold the records loaded from the source server.
