Introduction
Source system integration is by default a manual process. With the CXO-Cockpit batchloading functionality it is possible to schedule a source system dataload using a timely interval. Using this functionality it will be possible to have the CXO-Cockpit data updated every week, every night or twice a day.
Pros and Cons
The most important benefits are:
- CXO-Cockpit is almost always up to date
- When the Captain forgets to start the update, it will be still executed at night
Some disadvantages are:
- Data is almost up to date, but not live.
- If the scheduling is done on a regular interval, you are lacking control over the timing of data refresh. This can be an issue when data is not ready for analysis.
Technical Process
- Extract from source system into staging database
- Process the data
- Process the cube
Source Systems
With the following source systems it is possible to configure a batch load:
How to configure the batch load
