Abinitio-Emerging ETL tool....

Introduction :

   We may have come across a number of ETL tools for the past decade or so. Here comes a new tool which is going to be the future ETL tool to be preferred by a number of organizations. It is developed by AbInitio corporation. The AbInitio software is a fourth generation data analysis, batch processing, data manipulation graphical user interface (GUI)-based parallel processing product which is commonly used to extract,transform and load(ETL). The AbInitio product also allows for processing of real-time data.

AbInitio is having a Two Tier Architecture with Graphical Development Environment (GDE) & Co>Operating system couple together to form a client-server ‘like’ architecture. Here you can find brief description of the two.

Co>Operating System  :


Co>Operating System is a program provided by Ab Initio which operates on the top of the operating system and is a base for all Ab Initio processes. It provides additional features known as air commands which can be installed on a variety of system environments such as Unix, HP-UX, Linux, IBM AIX, Windows systems. The AbInitio Co>Operating System provides the following features:
               --->Manage and run AbInitio graphs and control the ETL processes.
               ---> Provides AbInitio extensions to the operating system.
               ---> ETL processes monitoring and debugging.
               ---> Metadata management and interaction with the EME.

AbInitio GDE (Graphical Development Environment) :

GDE is a graphical application for developers which is used for designing and running Ab Initio graphs. It also provides:
               ---> The ETL process in AbInitio is represented by AbInitio graphs. Graphs are formed
                       by components (from the standard components library or custom), flows (data streams)
                       and parameters.
               ---> A user-friendly frontend for designing Ab Initio ETL graphs
               ---> Ability to run, debug Ab Initio jobs and trace execution logs
               ---> GDE AbInitio graph compilation process results in generation of a UNIX shell script which may be executed on a machine without the GDE installed.

Self Belief...

hai,

   I would like to share the success of a student who struggled hard and finally reached his destination of completing his graduation in IIT.

I Know I am something because god does not create garbage
       Naga Naresh.K ,born in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, he was born poor but blessed with knowledge and self belief. When he was in 7th standard a disaster struck his life, he lost his legs. He felt bad about himself  but his urge for study never died. He joined along with his sister in 3rd standard who took care of him. After completing his school,some people helped him financially and some questioned his abilities, he wanted to answer the people who questioned his ability. Finally after his intermediate he qualified for IIT. He joined IIT Madras in computer science department , now he is working for Google.

"Never lose hope what ever maybe the situation you are put into, if you believe yourself success is always at your door steps"

Thank You
