Use to create and configure a context.
A context is a set of resources allowing the operation or simulation of one or more data processing applications. Contexts allow the same jobs (Reverse, Data Quality Control, Package, and so forth) to be executed on different databases or schemas.
In Oracle Data Integrator, a context allows logical objects (logical agents, logical Oozie engines, logical schemas) to be linked with physical objects (physical agents, physical Oozie engines, physical schemas).
Examples:
The contexts New York, Boston, and San Francisco represent three data processing sites that use the same software with similar data structures that concern sales and marketing management and logistics. New York also operates an accounting package and a data warehouse.
The Development and Test contexts allow procedures to be simulated, on replicated databases if necessary.
The Context Editor has the following tabs:
| Properties | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name of the context, as it appears in the user interface. |
| Code | Code of the context, allowing a context to be referenced and identified among the different repositories.
Note: This code must be unique and the most stable possible. Modifying this code may cause readjustment of the context references from the user interfaces of the navigators. |
| Password | Password requested when the user requests to work on this context. This password allows you to restrict the access rights and avoid unwanted context changes.
Note: For sensitive contexts such as production, it is strongly recommended that you enter a password when creating the context. Caution: If the password is not specified, no validation is requested for a change of context. |
| Default Context Used By Agents | Indicates that this context is displayed by default in the different lists, and selected when opening Designer or Operator. |
This tab allows all the logical agents and logical Oozie engines accessible in this context to be displayed and updated.
The left column in the list contains all existing logical agents and logical Oozie engines. To be able to use a logical agent or logical Oozie engine in the given context, select the corresponding physical agent or physical Oozie engine in the right column.
Note:
A logical agent can only be associated with a physical agent and a logical Oozie engine can only be associated with a physical Oozie engine.This tab allows all the logical schemas accessible in this context to be displayed and updated.
The left column in the list contains all existing logical schemas. To be able to use a logical schema in a given context, you must select in the right column the physical schema corresponding to this logical schema in the context.
