Information from the ETL vendor
Ease of Use
Can all the product’s functionality be generated from the GUI or is it sometimes necessary to write code and/or procedures and/or macros etc. Depending on the level of complexity you desire, most functions can be accomplished through the GUI however a scripting window is available for more complex scripting
Error checking
Does the product automatically suggest corrections to syntax or field name errors? OTIC designer uses two general types of impact analyses, immediate impact and postponed impact modes, to handle changes to the properties of an object. Also it’s possible to verify the syntax of the expression by clicking the Check Expression button. If the syntax is invalid, an error message appear
Real-time and batch

Analytical functions
Is it possible to call (external) analytical functions e.g. forecasting, basket analysis, regression from within the load process? OTIC has a complete set of transformation functions. OTIC offers roughly 150 generic functions that can be used to build complex expressions or custom functions. These functions can be processed inside the OTIC Engine or Linux, but they can also be automatically translated in native SQL functions in order to execute them on the database engine side.

“Callable functions also available to other products”
Rick van der Linden, senior analyst and author of the ETL Tools & Data Integration Survey said about Open Text Integration Center: “Their architecture is quite open; callable functions are also available to other products or programs (from a different vendor). This can be implemented using standard API or command line interface calls to the underlying architecture.” Find out more and order now the ETL Tools & Data Integration Survey 2018.
