General Development Guidelines


The starting point of the development is the logical model created by the Data Architect. This logical model forms the foundation for metadata, which will be continuously be maintained throughout the Data Warehouse Development Life Cycle (DWDLC). The logical model is formed from the requirements of the project. At the completion of the logical model technical documentation defining the sources, targets, requisite business rule transformations, mappings and filters. This documentation serves as the basis for the creation of the Extraction, Transformation and Loading tools to actually manipulate the data from the applications sources into the Data Warehouse/Data Mart.

To start development on any data mart you should have the following things set up by the Informatica Load Administrator
Ø  Informatica Folder. The development team in consultation with the BI Support Group can decide a three-letter code for the project, which would be used to create the informatica folder as well as Unix directory structure.
Ø  Informatica Userids for the developers
Ø  Unix directory structure for the data mart.
