Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for data migration readiness of a target data source are disclosed. A processor hosts an application on a cloud server; receives data corresponding to the application from a plurality of types of data sources; defines expressions to be applied to the data for parsing and transforming the data dynamically on the cloud server; validates the defined expressions based on a determination that each defined expression meets a predefined threshold value; generates a lookup data file in a predefined file format in response to validating the defined expressions; parses the lookup data file; dynamically transforms the data based on the parsed lookup data file and applying the validated expressions; and generates an output file in the predefined file format for consumption after transforming the data.
