  • Publication number: 20050256892
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for migrating a data integration facility, such as an ETL job, from a source data integration platform to a target data integration platform. Certain embodiments involve automatically interpreting at least one operation of a first data integration function adapted to operate on a first data integration platform; translating the at least one interpreted operation into an intermediate format; and regenerating the at least one operation of the first data integration function from the intermediate format to form a regenerated data integration function operation.

  • Publication number: 20050251533
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for migrating a data integration facility, such as an ETL job, from a source data integration platform to a target data integration platform. Certain embodiments involve externalizing a metadata representation of a source data integration job; parsing the metadata representation; importing the parsed metadata into a plurality of object representations of the source data integration job; generating an intermediate representation of the source data integration platform based on the plurality of object representations; and translating the intermediate representation to generate a target data integration job; wherein the target data integration job is adapted perform substantially the same functions as the source data integration job.

  • Publication number: 20050243604
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for migrating a data integration facility, such as an ETL job, from a source data integration platform to a target data integration platform. For example, systems and methods are provided for migrating a data integration job from a source data integration platform having a source native format to a target data integration platform having a target native format; wherein the target native format is different than the source native format. The systems and methods may involve analyzing a source language construct of the source data integration platform to determine a logical syntax; constructing a target language construct of the target data integration platform adapted to perform the same logical operation on the target data integration platform as the source language construct performs on the source data integration platform; and substituting the target language construct for the source language construct in the source code for the data integration job.
