Bookshelf v7.5.3: Third-Party Products and Documentation

Siebel Data Warehouse uses third-party data integration products from Informatica. The Informatica applications (Data Warehouse Server) extract, transform, and load legacy, relational, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) data into the Siebel Data Warehouse. The load process builds a series of star schemas in the Siebel Data Warehouse.

NOTE: Installation requires specific versions of the third-party products, including Informatica PowerMart. Depending on the Informatica product you are licensed to use, install either Informatica PowerMart or PowerCenter. This guide refers to Informatica PowerMart, but all information applies as well to Informatica PowerCenter functionality. For applicable versions of third-party software, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms.

To complete your Siebel Data Warehouse planning, refer to the books listed in Table 1. These books are provided on the CD-ROMs that came with this product. They will help you scale the installation of Informatica to fit your company's business needs. Documents supplied by Informatica are located on the Siebel Data Warehouse Server CD-ROM. These documents are available only in English.
