1.what is bods?

Bods is an ETL tool,using this we can extract ,transform,load data from source to target.

2.what are the types of repositories ?

Local repository

Central repository

3.define job,workflow,dataflow?

Job:job is the smallest unit of work ,that we can execute and schedule.

Workflow:workflow is used to keep dataflows inside it.

Dataflow:dataflow is the place where actual ETL happens.inside the dataflow we can apply logics in
different transforms.

4.what is datastore?

We can create connection between source to bods and target to bods.

5.what is global variable, local variable, substitution parameter?

Global variable: global variable is constant throughout the job.

Local variable: this is not constant throughout the job and exist only inside the job.

substitution parameter: substitution parameter is constant throughout the environment. for ex. we
are using same file path for every job in our repo, we can create the file path as substitution
parameter.

6.what are the uses of query transform?

We can map the input columns to output columns.

We can create new output columns

We can use functions, and join

multiple sources

We can filter data using 'where' clause

We can enable, disable primary key.

7.what are the uses of case transform?

We can segregate the data using different cases

We have to define the cases inside the case transform

According to that data will be divided into multiple tables

For all the generated outputs, structure and datatype will be similar

8.what are the uses of merge transform?

We can merge the data using multiple tables and generated in single output

To do that few conditions are there

For all input columns structure, names, no.of columns. Datatype, length should be same.

9.what are the ways to avoid duplicate records?

1.select distinct

2.auto correct load

1.select distinct:

if we check this box ,we can avoid the duplicate records coming from source.

2.auto correct load:

If we check this option we can remove the duplicate records before load data in target, but
the condition is key should be enabled.

10.what are different performance tuning techniques?

1.arrary fetch size

2.rows per commit

3.join rank

4.no.of loaders

5.degree of parallelism

11. What is no.of loaders?

Using this option we can define no.of parallel loads to the target table.

Default value :1

Max value : 5
12. What is rows per commit ?

Using this option we can define no.of records to be generated in target table .

Default value :1000

Max value: 5000

13.what is arrary fetch size ?

Using this option we can define no.of records to be fetched in single time from source table.

Default value : 1000

Max value :5000.

14.what is degree of parallelism ?

Using this option we can split single dataflow into multiple parallel dataflows

For ex.degree of parallelism is 3,

All the operations we are doing inside the dataflow will be executed in 3 parallel ways.

15. What is join rank ? How to use it?

Using this option we can improve the performance.

For ex.we cab take two tables

We can give high joinrank to the table which have huge data ,Lower joinrank to the table which
have Lower data .

While doing the joins ,it will considered high rank table as Main table and joins another table to it.

16.what is LPAD,RPAD functions?

LPAD:

if we want to add anything at the starting of the coloumn value ,we can use LPAD function

RPAD:

If we want to add anything at the end of the coloumn value ,we can use RPAD function.

17.what is Ltrim ,Rtrim functions?

Ltrim:

Ltrim function is used to trim a given value from left side of the coloumn.
 Rtrim:

Rtrim function is used to trim a given value from right side of the coloumn.

17. What is if then else function ?

Based on conditions,if we want to display any result we can use this function.

18 what is Ltrim-blanks,Rtrim-blanks functions?

Ltrim-blanks:

This function is used to trim a blanks from left side of the cloumn

Rtrim-blanks:

This function is used to trim a blanks from right side of the coloum.

19.explain concatenate function?

Using this function we can concatenate the two coloumn values.

20.explain Substring function?

Using this function we can devide the string according to given position.

21.what is replace-substring function?

Replace the string with given string

22.what is To- char function?

This function is used to convert number or date into string format.

23.explain lookup function?

This function is used to display a value from another table.based on some key values.

In query editor go to functions select lookup-ext ,then one pop-up will come in top of left corner
and select table from which we need to get the data.

After that input cloumn gives the condition,that is matching value and in output select the value
which we need to populate then click on finish ,it will give automatic sysntax.

24. Different components used in bods?

1.designer 4.workflow

2.repository 5.dataflow

3.job 6. Datastore

7.transforms
25. What are the types of joins used in bods and sql ?

Inner join,left outer join,right outer join

26. Explain the Project

27. Explain validations used in project?

Mandatory validation:

In Mandatory validation ,we are taking primary key coloum and primary key column should not
be null.

For ex. We can take MARA table ,in Mara table material number is primary key .while doing the
validation 1st we can choose material number cloumn and click it's not null option and then click on
ok

Other than primary key columns there are some important columns for idocs .for those coloumns
we can implement same validation process.

Check table validation:

In check table validation we are doing plant validation .for ex.we can take MARC table for that
we need to extract T001 table and keep in temporary table.using this table we can check plant
numbers.while doing the validation 1st we can choose Marc.werks cloumn and click exist in table
option and give temporary table name and then click on ok.

Custom validation :

In Marc table there are two tables minimum lot size ,maximum lot size.

Minimum lot size should always less than maximum less than

This validation rule also we have implemented

28. Explain idoc process?

We have to take all validate preload tables,and connected in each table In a query transform .and
inside the query we can map the input schema to output schema according to idoc segments.after
that all querys connected to single query transform .in this query transform new header data table
will be generated .in this table we have to map idoc parameters . And this query transform
connected to idocs.

29.what are the idoc parameters required?

Clint, idoc type, message type, message function, sender port, sender partner type, sender partner
number, receiver port, receiver partner type, receiver partner number
