A load plan life cycle comprises four phases.
Phase 1: Define load plan
In this phase, you define load plan properties in Configuration Manager, including selecting a data source and one or more fact groups. This selection determines which steps you must perform during the ETL process.
Phase 2: Generate load plan
In this phase, you launch a generation process from Configuration Manager that propagates the load plan properties to the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) Repository, where the load plan is built.
Phase 3: Execute load plan
In this phase, you start a load plan run from Configuration Manager, which executes the steps of the load plan. Executing a load plan creates a load plan instance and a first load plan run. If a run is restarted, a new load plan run is created under this load plan instance. Each execution attempt of the load plan instance is preserved as a different load plan run in the log.
Phase 4: Monitor load plan
In this phase, you monitor the load plan run in the Load Plan Details page of Configuration Manager. The Load Plan Details page provides a view of the ODI Repository through ODI Console.
