Conversion Master Configuration

The Conversion Data Upload Master Configuration controls generic aspects of legacy data load process.

Main section captures the definitions globally applicable for all converted objects (tables and/or maintenance objects):

  • Default Conversion Instructions for Artifact Generator reference conversion task types that define load parameters for individual tables or maintenance objects.

    The Master Configuration captures conversion task types with default configurations for:

    • Typical Table

    • Typical maintenance Object

    • Key Table.

Special Instructions section captures the definitions that support various idiosyncratic data upload scenarios
  • Override Conversion Eligibility — Table list allows you to specify tables that are not marked for conversion in the metadata, but your implementation wishes to include in the conversion data upload and cleanup scope and vice versa - to exclude tables that are marked for conversion in the metadata from the data upload-related operations
    Note: If the table you wish to convert has a related key table, this key table has to be explicitly added to this list.

  • Override Instructions for Tables and Maintenance Objects define Conversion Instructions (conversion task types) for objects that require special processing or data formatting. For example, the default conversion instruction defines that CLOB data is supplied as a secondary file. The special instruction for a specific table may define that CLOB data is supplied in the main data file.
