About Incorta Data Delivery of Oracle Cloud ERP for Azure Synapse

Incorta Data Delivery streamlines the integration between Oracle Cloud ERP and Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics. Incorta Data Delivery accelerates data mart deployment and automates data model design and source schema mapping with the Incorta Oracle Cloud ERP data application. The Incorta Cloud ERP data application provides a new, faster, more effective option for analyzing and understanding your data, with no data modeling or extract, transform, load (ETL) required.

Following is the high-level Incorta Data Delivery process:

• Connect Incorta to your data source with a data application, and load pre-existing physical schema fact and dimension tables.
• The physical schema tables are replicated to the Parquet that resides on Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) Gen 2.
• Load Synapse data marts from the parquet.
• Visualize the data with Power BI.

Here are the steps to perform a full load for each physical schema:

• In the Navigation bar, select Schema.
• In the Schema Manager, select the Schemas tab.
• In the list view of physical schemas, select the base schema to open it.
• In the Schema Designer, in the Action bar, select Load → Full Load.

Load the Base physical schemas

Load the Fact and Dimension physical schemas

Perform a load of the Fact and Dimension physical schemas for each Oracle Cloud ERP module:

Load the Load_to_Synapse physical schemas

Here are the Load_to_Synapse physical schemas for each Oracle Cloud ERP module with the load order:

Run the row counts schema

• Verify if the row counts match between Incorta and Synapse

• Import the schema zip file schema_fusion_FUSION_RowCounts.zip

• Import the business schema zip file business_schema_fusion_FusionRowCount.zip

• Import the dashboard dashboard_fusion_Load_Statistics_for_Ingest.zip

• Create a SQL Server datasource called Synapse_Debug

• In the Synapse data source, update the username, password, and connection string according your instance

• Load the FUSION_RowCounts schema

• Select to the Contents tab, and then select ‘Load Statistics for Ingest’ dashboard

Import the Power BI dashboards and verify the data
