Getting started with Talend MDM | Talend MDM

Level :

Available in:

Familiarize yourself with Talend MDM

Of the many strong points Talend MDM boasts, the flexibility and power of its active model are often boasted. This tutorial will show precisely why.

With Talend MDM, you can model any master data domain customers, employees, products, inventories, organizations, nomenclatures, accounts, code tables, etc.

As a trivial example, this tutorial will demonstrate how to create and update a product catalogue.

Each of the products in the catalogue will be defined by:
- a unique identifier (automatically incremented),
- a name,
- a description,
- a price (optional).

This tutorial addresses the basic principles of modeling (structural design, attribute definition, etc.)

The more advanced aspects of modeling such as taxonomy design, taking account of product family relationships, type constraints (length, format, etc.), validation rules, event processing, etc. will be covered in other tutorials.

The construction of our product catalog involves the four classic stages of a Talend MDM project:
1) the structural design of a Product item in a data model,
2) the definition of a data container in which the Product records are to be stored,
3) the definition of a view to set parameters for the automatic generation of the Web interface,
4) the addition or modification of our catalog products using the Web User Interface.

Prerequisite:
Talend MDM server and studio must be installed. To do so, follow this tutorial.

How to use Change Data Capture in Oracle (Step 1/4) | Talend Integration Suite

Level :

Available in:

Learn how to implement a Change Data Capture (CDC) in Oracle

This tutorial is extracted from TIS Development Course

Data warehousing involves the extraction and transportation of data from one or more databases into a target system or systems for analysis. But this involves the extraction and transportation of huge volumes of data and is very expensive in both resources and time.

The ability to capture only the changed source data and to move it from a source to a target system(s) in real time is known as Change Data Capture (CDC). Capturing changes reduces traffic across a network and thus helps reduce ETL time.

With this serie of four tutorials, you will learn how to implement a Change Data Capture under Oracle:
- [How to use Change Data Capture in Oracle (Step 1/4)]
- [How to use Change Data Capture in Oracle (Step 2/4)]
- [How to use Change Data Capture in Oracle (Step 3/4)]
- [How to use Change Data Capture in Oracle (Step 4/4)]

Release Notes:
A new type of CDC has been integrated in Talend Integration Suite 3.2.

The new CDC -only available now on Oracle and AS400- is based on the log file. As a consequence, the redo log mode is less intrusive than the Trigger mode, generated by Talend.The DBA will appreciate more this CDC version that the older.
