DAC stands for Data Warehouse Application Console. It is an essential component of Oracle BI application architecture. DAC serves the following purposes: 1. DAC is a metadata driven administration and deployment tool for ETL and data warehouse objects
3. Application Configuration
Manages metadata-driven task dependencies and relationships Allows creating custom ETL execution plans Allows for dry-run development and testing
4. Execution
Enables parallel loading for high performance ETL Facilitates in index management and database statistics collection Automates change capture for Siebel OLTP Assists in capturing deleted records Fine grain restartability
5. Monitoring
Enables remote admin and monitoring Provides runtime metadata validation checks Provides in-context documentation
Informatica load the data to the stage tables and the target tables in the data
warehouse
DAC manage the performance by dropping indexes, truncating stage tables, rebuilding
If you do not use DAC, you have to write your own custom change capture process and need to redesign from scratch an ETL method that allow the restart of the ETL process from point of failure at record level. The biggest saving is that DAC can survive during the upgrade , while your custom processes cannot.
