Which feature in FDI supports both data movement and semantic model extensibility to provide missing data elements that exist in OTBI?

• A. Data augmentation
• B. Data replication
• C. Data cleansing
• D. Data masking

Answer: (A)

Data augmentation in FDI is the feature that supports both moving data and expanding the semantic model so OTBI can surface missing elements. It handles data movement by bringing in and loading data, while also extending the OTBI semantic model by adding new attributes or measures derived during integration. This dual capability lets you supply additional data elements that OTBI expects but which aren’t present in the original source, enabling complete analyses and reports. Other options focus on moving data alone, or on cleaning or masking data, but they do not enable semantic-model extensibility needed to expose new elements in OTBI.
