6 Oracle Data Profiling and Data Quality for 10g Users

6.1 Components of the Oracle Data Quality 11g Release 1 Installation

If you are upgrading your Oracle Data Quality products from 10g Release 3 to 11g Release 1, there are some significant changes you should be aware of. This section describes those changes.

The Oracle Data Profiling and Data Quality 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) default installation provided the following components:

• Oracle Data Integrator

• Oracle Data Profiling

• Oracle Data Quality for Data Integrator

Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g provides updates to all these components, but not in a single installation. In Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, your Oracle Data Profiling and Oracle Data Quality components are packaged and installed separately, but they still provide the same resources and services.

Oracle Data Profiling and Oracle Data Quality for Oracle Data Integrator 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.) provides the following components:

• Oracle Data Profiling and Data Quality Client User Interface

  The Oracle Data Profiling and Oracle Data Quality user interface is available for Windows 32-bit operating systems only. This client can be configured to connect to a Metabase Server installed on a separate machine.

• Oracle Data Profiling and Quality Server

  The Oracle Data Profiling and Quality server installation includes the following components:

  • Metabase Server

    The Metabase Server contains the profiling data and metadata.

  • Data Quality Server (Windows 32-bit operating system only)

    The Data Quality Server is the run-time component for Oracle Data Quality processes.

  • ODBC Server (Windows 32-bit operating system only)

    Oracle Data Quality ODBC Adapter is used to connect ODBC data sources. This optional component can be installed on Windows platforms only.
