  • Patent number: 8538913
    Abstract: A system and method for a user to test and transfer data from a client's database or network to a host's database or network is disclosed. A user acquires data information from a client and the user uses this information to generate a spreadsheet, and to populate the spreadsheet with assumed values based on the information received from the client. The user requests and receives a test file from the client and uses a developed algorithm to reformat the file so that it is consistent with the host's database configuration. The user determines the consistency between the reformatted file and the host's database by comparing the reformatted file to the previously generated spreadsheet. Any inconsistencies identified alert the user that the file reformatting algorithm needs updating.
