Are you a young professional who just got out of college and unsure which career path to follow? Are you thinking about changing your career to something completely new and looking for options? Either way, this webinar is the right one for you. It’s the first in a series that the new ODTUG Career Track Community will bring you to show what Oracle careers look like and where/how to start with them. During this webinar, we will talk about what an ETL developer career looks like, what the expectations are, challenges, rewards, and which steps are needed to be successful. We will discuss a wide range of topics, such as tools used on the job, certification paths, the importance of social media, user groups, and more. This webinar will be presented by Rodrigo Radtke de Souza, who has been working in the Oracle ETL world for quite some time now and has achieved great accomplishments as an ETL developer, such as Oracle ACE nomination, frequent Kscope speaker, ODTUG Leadership Program participant, and a successful career at Dell.

What ETL means?
(E)xtract, (T)ransform and (L)oad is the process responsible for pulling data out of source systems,
transform it and placing it into a target system.
Extract
• the data from source systems (Oracle, SAP, ERP, other operational systems, text files, Excel,
etc)
Transform
• cleaning (mapping NULL to 0, "Male" to "M“, "Female" to "F" etc.)
• filtering (select only certain values to load)
• joining together data from multiple sources (merge)
• data validation (if the first 3 columns in a row are empty then reject the row from processing)
Load
• the data into a data warehouse, data repository for reporting applications, a different/new
application, etc.

What ETL means?
Kimball Group
• www.kimballgroup.com
34 Subsystems of ETL
• Three subsystems focus on extracting data from source systems.
• Five subsystems deal with value-added cleaning and conforming, including
dimensional structures to monitor quality errors.
• Thirteen subsystems deliver data as dimensional structures to the final BI layer,
such as a subsystem to implement slowly changing dimension techniques.
• Thirteen subsystems help manage the production ETL environment.

Is ETL dead?
If there is data, there is ETL. And it is always changing/evolving…
Disconnected Mainframes Separate Interconnected Systems Big Data/IOT explosion
Manual ETL? Data Warehouse Data Lakes

• Debug ETL executions
• Development estimations
• Performance tuning
• Integration design
Soft Skills
• Analytical mindset

What the job looks like - The good, The bad
Is it good to be an ETL Developer? Yes it is!
• Diverse technologies
• Contact with business/power users
• You learn the systems you load
• Easiness to shift to other job positions
• Work with one of the most valuable assets of the companies: Data

@DEVEPM
What the job looks like - The good, The bad
The bad: “Plumber” syndrome
• ETL developers are similar to plumbers but
you need to learn that this is a good thing!
• Your work may not show up as much as you
would liked
• Sometimes you will feel that you are only
requested when the pipe is “broken”
• Do not let it discourage you: there are no
houses without pipes as there are no
business analyses without ETL

• A computer language will give you the ability to modify/create new things
• You will only be able to influence your business if you understand it
• Theory behind any development is key to success
ETL tool SQL Java/Jython/Groovy Business processes
Study the theory of what you are working on
