Create Conversion Data Files

In this step you create the set of data conversion files that were identified for the conversion process. You can choose to generate data files for each staging table or create a smaller set for each converted Maintenance Object.

The data conversion files typically do not include all the data to begin with but start small and grow with every iteration of the conversion process until they reach their maximum size at the end.

Note: When performing data conversion in the cloud, customers don’t have access to the database staging tables. Data scrubbing and transformation activities has to take place before the data files are generated (in each conversion iteration) so the result of these activities is reflected on the data files that are moved to the cloud to be loaded into the staging tables.
