Features You Will Love
The LeapFrogBI Data Warehouse Automation Platform is all about enabling you to build, extend, and modify your data warehouse efficiently. What is efficiency? Automate repetitive tasks. Work at the highest level a task allows. Use heuristics. Or in other words, when we identify a task that is wasting time, we find a smart way to solve that problem without brute force.
Implementing a dimensional model is much simpler when your tools understand dimensional modeling concepts. The LeapFrogBI Platform is designed to implement dimensional models. So, if you need a degenerate dimension in your fact table or an attribute to be tracked SCD2 then simple click the right button. LeapFrogBI understand the behavior you are requesting and generated assets to match.
Monitoring the load process is an important maintenance step. LeapFrogBI simplifies this task by generating email notifications when the load process start, completes, and/or fails. You can use your own email server and setup email recipients for each environment independently.
LeapFrogBI automates the load process. All you need to do is define the load time and deploy the solution. LeapFrogBI will setup the load process and execute it on the prescribed schedule. Both functional and resource constraints are taken into account to ensure the load process is completed as efficiently and accurately as possible.
Naming standards are important to both the development team and the end user of all data solutions. LeapFrogBI enables you to designate naming standards at the project level so that each component within the project is required to conform to the prescribed standard.
Your SQL Server version is eventually going to change. The last thing you want to do when SQL Server is upgraded is manually upgrade all of your ETL assets. LeapFrogBI makes upgrading very simple. Set your project to deploy to the new version of SQL Server, queue a build, and deploy. All done.
Nobody likes to deal with proprietary assets that can only be understood by the vendor that created them. LeapFrogBI understands this clearly which is why LeapFrogBI has zero, none, nada, zip post deployment dependencies. This means that every bit of code that LeapFrogBI generates is native code.
Lifecycle management is important to all projects. You must have a very systematic way to deploy to your development environment followed by test and eventually the production environment. In the LeapFrogBI platform you declare your environments at the project level. When you queue a build the output will use the selected lifecycle’s environment specific values. Connections are also defined for each lifecycle which makes dealing with minor topology differences between environments easy to deal with.
Sometimes our source systems change. This reality demands that we are able to redirect to a new source as efficiently as possible. Components in LeapFrogBI can be redirected to a new source quickly and easily. The platform will prompt the user with a list of in use assets and enable these assets to be mapped to a new source. Click update and you are done.
Maintaining accurate logs is important to troubleshooting and performance optimization. LeapFrogBI generates logs specifically designed for data solutions such as component lapse times, record counts, and upsert counts. Platform users do not need to lift a finger. This is 100% automatic.
LeapFrogBI not only generates logs, it also gives you a nice monitoring solution to easily access the logs. A prebuilt SQL Server Reporting Services project exposes logs and present key trends in visualizations. You always have access to verbose logs either via the monitoring solution or by accessing logs directly through SQL Server facilities.
Not everyone is a coder. An easy to use expression builder is built into the platform exposing the full power of the T-SQL language to all users. Grammar and syntax are checked to ensure that expressions are successfully executed. Not sure what value is required for the first argument of the DATENAME function? No problem. LeapFrogBI has you covered.
All fields can have statistics collected. These statistics can be used in your project for things like delta load logic or they may be used to keep track of key values via the monitoring solution. To collect a statistic, you simply check the box next to the chosen aggregation method. LeapFrogBI will be sure to present the user with only appropriate aggregation methods based on the selected field data type.
LeapFrogBI auto generates a visual diagram describing your project’s data flow and relationships. You can see graphically how your data flow is designed and you can navigate using the graphical interface. Choose between related, dimensional model, and entire model views of the diagram to focus in on the area of your project you are interested in viewing.
It is always a good idea to design development assets such that they can be moved from one environment to the next without requiring any changes. LeapFrogBI achieves this by implementing centralized configuration along with an indirect connection to configuration. So, if you want to move your solution to a new server then you can do so without regenerating the development assets. You also can move asset between dev, test, and production environments without queuing a new build.
Copy and paste is nothing new, but it is not exactly the simplest thing to do when we are working with complex data flows. LeapFrogBI gives you the ability to make exact copies of a component. These copies can then be redirected to consume a new source or they can be consumed by a new downstream process.
Do you need to collect data from a large number of flat files with the same structure? You are in luck. LeapFrogBI’s multiple-file-stage process can be configured to process large numbers of flat files quickly with minimal configuration. The files can be uncompressed and moved to a success or failure location after processing is complete.
FTP is a common way to transfer files. LeapFrogBI has a simple FTP collection process requiring minimal configuration. Users define the server and files to be collected, and LeapFrogBI generates assets to complete the file transfer at the prescribed point in the load process.
Cloud data sources are becoming more prevalent every day. The REST API data collection component allows users to collect data from an anonymous authentication REST API source and store the data locally. Because LeapFrogBI generates only native code, this same component can be modified to collect data from other types of APIs as well with minimal development effort.
You are free to code at will if you like. In fact, there are mechanisms built into the platform to make it simple to integrate custom code with the platform developed assets. You can create custom expressions, execute custom scripts, or even execute custom SSIS packages.
LeapFrogBI keeps track of your lineage to the most minute detail. Click on a field, and LeapFrogBI presents a full up and downstream dependency map including all uses such as fields and expressions. This make life easy when trying to determine the impact of a change.
LeapFrogBI not only generates the target schema, it also alters the target schema as your project definition changes. The deploy process (one click) validates the target schema and determines which alterations are required. It couldn’t be much easier.
During development we might make a change only to later find that we want to roll that change back. LeapFrogBI upon request will create a snapshot database and a rollback job to do exactly this. Knowing that your latest load process can be rolled back at the click of a button is a very valuable tool to have in your tool chest.
