ETL development is an essential part of data integration efforts.
The more ETL code you produce the more difficult it is to
maintain its quality. Negligence in code development standards
may influence on how much efforts you need to read and
understand your code and overall, on system performance.
In EDW environment, parts of code (Teradata scripts like BTEQ,
FLOAD, MLOAD and TPT) were supplied by a huge number of
external developers (Multi- vendors) over the years, at various
levels of quality and in different styles and long manual code
reviews process costs money and time to company/clients.

TChecker

is an automated ETL code review tool that helps

to quickly review code to enforce company standards and
compliance, maintain its quality in an easy manner and perform
best practices to optimize your BI performance. Also it will help
to quickly fix errors and improve your companys data
governance.
Features
Rule based engine which will covers industry and
vendors
best
practices
recommendations.
Also,
Company/Clients can create their own set of rules to
improve data governance.
Automated and internal audit reviews which will stores all
checks results (validations results) in database and
provide the quality track records of ETL code.
Personal Assessment which allows developers to perform
self assessments on their own.
Key Benefits
Cost and time savings: - Fast automatic code reviews will
reduce the cost and time to review process.
Early Detection and correction: - Thorough analysis will
help to prevent errors before actual deployment and
reduce the development cycle. That will make your EDW
environment more stable and reduces the amount of

money spent on unexpected incidents.

TFlow-Visualize End-To-End Data Flow

From our perspective, on-demand DWH systems require
constant and rapid evolution. Consequently, changes to DHWs
models are inevitable to reflect the current state of DWH
requirements. On a database level, data from source systems
passes through various databases and transformation
processes before being provided to end-users by means of
analysis and reporting tools.
In this context, small changes in analytical requirements can
lead to major unintended impacts for the whole DWHs.
Therefore, to effectively determine these unintended impacts
caused by requirement changes in the DWH context, impact
analysis must be applied, making use of the traceability of
data, i.e. where it originates, what its various fields mean and
what transformations are needed to perform required analysis.
However, in complex DWHs which consist of many layers,
elements, and resources and their complex relationships, it
becomes costly and labor intensive to correctly analyze change
impacts.
Hence, we are in need of techniques and tools that provide
more effective support for impact propagation within a DWHs.
Change propagation may not be fully automated, since there
are decisions that requires human expertise. However, it is
possible to provide support in tracing and managing
dependencies, determining what parts of the DWHs
architecture are affected by a given change.

TFlow tool helps to get a full data flow of DW/BI and perform

impact analyses, even when there are a lot of custom SQL

code. TFlow tool will create a detailed visualization of DW/BI
environment. It analyzes contents of scripts(Teradata). It then
extracts information on data flows, database tables, views,
individual columns and all the way to data marts. It will also

provide detailed statistics on code which help in advanced data

flow analysis and optimizations.

Key Benefits
Save on expensive labor: - TFlow tool will cut the time
spent on performing impact analyses by more than 80%.
Optimize performance: - Advanced analyses of your
entire environment let your developers produce faster
code
Detailed view: - Allows you to see and understand what
each individual script does and how they relate to each
other.
