Core Philosophy

23

Core Philosophy

• Reusability

• Flexibility

• Scalability

• Extensibility

24

Core Philosophy

• Reusability

• All Datasheets can be copied to

other projects

• All custom-developed Setup-API‘s

can be used in other projects

• The whole project can be copied

(-> Branch Templates)

• Flexibility

• Setup-Download can be done also

from third party databases

• Full-Adaption of each Setup-Step

to project requirements, e.g.

including Pre- and Post-Migration

Setup, MLS (based on UTF-8),

DFF

• Scalability

• Upload can be done complete, partial, additional on a fresh installed/running instance

• Extensibility

• Registration of custom Processes/Setup Steps

• OCIB itself is developed as a framework

• Bug-Workaround-Solutions

• „Tuning“ of Snapshot-File Generation

• SQL-/PL-SQL Routines can executed (e.g. in case of bugs within an API, missing functionality, workarounds)
