Creating a New Project

Creating an Integration Project 9-7 ■ Select JKMs and SKMs only if you need them. Do not import JKMs or SKMs if you do not plan to use Changed Data Capture or Data Services. You can import them later when needed. ■ Review the KM documentation and options. KMs include a Description field that contain useful information. Each of the KM options is also described. All KMs are detailed in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Connectivity and Knowledge Modules Guide for Oracle Data Integrator.

9.3.3 Importing and Replacing Knowledge Modules

Two main operations allow you to manage KMs into a project: When you create a new project or want to use new KMs into an existing project, you must import the KMs into this project. If you want to start using a new version of an existing KM, or if you want to replace an existing KM in use with another one, then you can replace this KM into the project Importing a KM To import a Knowledge Module into a project:

1. In the Projects accordion in Designer Navigator, select the project into which you

want to import the KM. 2. Right-click and select Import Import Knowledge Modules....

3. Specify the File Import Directory. A list of the KMs export files available in this

directory appears.

4. Select several KMs from the list and then click OK.

5. Oracle Data Integrator imports the selected KMs and presents an import report.

6. Click Close to close this report.

The Knowledge Modules are imported into you project. They are arranged under the Knowledge Modules node of the project, grouped per KM type. Replacing a KM When you want to replace a KM in a project by another one and have all interfaces and models automatically use the new KM, you must use the import replace mode. To import a Knowledge Module in replace mode:

1. In the Projects tree in Designer Navigator, expand the project, and select the KM

you want to replace.

2. Right-click and select Import Replace.

3. Select the export file of the KM you want to use as a replacement.

4. Click OK

The Knowledge Module is now replaced by the new one. Note: Knowledge modules can be imported in Duplication mode only. To replace an existing Knowledge Modules, use the import replace method described below. When importing a KM in Duplication mode and if the KM already exists in the project, ODI creates a new KM with prefix copy_of.
