Conversion Steps
In general data conversion effort in the cloud is divided into the following steps:
• Prepare for conversion
• Create conversion data files
• Upload conversion data files to the cloud
• Process conversion data files
• Process converted data in cloud application
• Approve converted data for production mode
Note:
It is important to note that the conversion process is a highly iterative process. All the steps above are likely to be done (completely or partially) multiple times during the conversion process.
For example, customer typically start with a small set of data to convert, they fix issues discovered with that data and then re-create new data files and proceed to convert them. This can happen many times, each time with either a different data sample or bigger and bigger data conversion sets until all the required data has gone through the conversion process.
