Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a universal format driven data transformation. In conventional ETL operations, the transform process that transforms data from the source format to the destination format is based on a transformation program. Conventionally, transform logic is developed around the chosen transform program. In accordance with an embodiment, a universal, format-driven data transform can be achieved through the use of a data transformation format. In accordance with an embodiment, a method for providing a universal format driven data transformation can include providing a transformation format in a file, wherein the transformation format is in a human-readable form; and providing, in the transformation format, keywords defining a target table type, a dataset list, and dataset operations to be performed on a dataset from the dataset list.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for extending a semantic model, for use with an analytic applications, analytics cloud, or other type of business intelligence or data analytics environment. A semantic model extension process introspects a customer's data, for example as stored in a data warehouse instance, and evaluates metadata associated therewith to determine custom facts, custom dimensions, and/or other types of data source model extensions. A payload or indication of such extensions is used to extend or customize a semantic model that enables surfacing of business intelligence or data analytics at a presentation layer. In accordance with an embodiment, the system can include an administrative console application and user interface that allows a user to view and validate a customer's data as loaded from their source environment into a data warehouse instance for use with other types of data analytics environments.
