Is there a way to recreate an ODI package using an ODI script?

I have mistakenly removed the ODI package from my project, which is very large in size. Is there a way to recreate the same package if I have a previously exported script for the same project?

Unfortunately, there is no way to directly generate the remote package from the script, which you can see as the compiled version of the package.

Here are a few things to check if you can get some information:



  • When moving from one environment to another, it is recommended to export the base object along with the script. This way you keep track of what the code for that script (black box) was. Bonus points if they are all versioned in a version control system (VCS).
  • As of ODI 12.2.1, VCS can be directly integrated into ODI to version your code and create release archives. If this is the case, you can restore the deleted object enter image description here
  • Prior to 12.2.1, it was possible to use the internal version control system ODI, which would store objects in the Master Repository. You can restore it from the top menu.enter image description here
  • If nothing is set, you can still open the script export in any file editor and manually go through it to get the logic. They are simply XML files that describe the various steps in your package. This will help you manually rebuild it.

If you end up making that last bullet point, now is probably the best time to improve on existing procedures and tweak one of the three backup and version control solutions mentioned above, so this won't happen in the future.
