4. Define the terms Job, Workflow, and Dataflow.

A job is the smallest unit of work that you can schedule independently for execution.

A work flow defines the decision-making process for executing data flows.

Data flows extract, transform, and load data. Everything having to do with data, including reading sources, transforming data, and loading targets, occurs inside a data flow.

5. How many types of datastores are present in Data services?

There are three, they are:

  • Database Datastores: provide a simple way to import metadata directly froman RDBMS.
  • Application Datastores: let users easily import metadata frommost Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.
  • Adapter Datastores: can provide access to an application’s data and metadata or just metadata.

6. What are Memory Datastores?

Data Services also allows you to create a database datastore using Memory as the Database type. Memory Datastores are designed to enhance processing performance of data flows executing in real-time jobs.

7. What are file formats?

A file format is a set of properties describing the structure of a flat file (ASCII). File formats describe the metadata structure. File format objects can describe files in:

  • Delimited format — Characters such as commas or tabs separate each field
  • Fixed width format — The column width is specified by the user
  • SAP ERP and R/3 format

8. What is repository? List the types of repositories.

Repository is a set of tables that holds user-created and predefined system objects, source and target metadata, and transformation rules. There are 3 types of repositories.

  • A local repository
  • A central repository
  • A profiler repository

9. What is the difference between a Repository and a Datastore?

A Repository is a set of tables that hold system objects, source and target metadata, and transformation rules. A Datastore is an actual connection to a database that holds data.

10. What is the difference between a Parameter and a Variable?

A Parameter is an expression that passes a piece of information to a work flow, data flow or custom function when it is called in a job. A Variable is a symbolic placeholder for values.
