5.Will extracts be required from Legacy system audit logs?

6.Will data be presented to load/cleansing programs using fixed length records, CSV or any other means?

7.Indicate the method by which data will be input into the Data Warehouse

8.Estimate the data insertion [into Data Warehouse] characteristics

Existing Infrastructure

3.Existing DBMS platform

4.Security Assigned

Backup/Restore Requirements

1.Backup strategy (Enterprise level, etc.):

2.Is an on-line backup of the production system required? (Y/N)

3.Available backup window in hours:

4.Maximum restore time in hours:


OBIEE Database

1.What version of OBIEE will you be using?

2.What DB and version will be used for this workload?

3.Will unicode be used?

4.Specify the size of your OLAP database.

5.Specify the size of the source OLTP database.
