SCI has assisted clients with successful migrations between platforms and from Oracle CODASYL DBMS to relational databases and from relational databases to CODASYL DBMS.
Database Migration Process
Data Mapping
Relational and CODASYL databases create relationships between data in very different ways – understanding these differences is a critical first step to any migration between these environments. Once the “referential” data issues have been addressed, work begins on the logical data models – correlating the source data with the target data and addressing all data type conversion issues.
Integrity
“Moving data” is of no use if it does not support the new application environment. Thorough testing is required to validate the data mapping and conversion procedures to ensure that all aspects of the target application are working successfully.
Performance
High-availability sites rely on their databases as part of their mission-critical computing environments. Minimizing the downtime associated with a database migration project is critical. Software Concepts International understands the importance of availability and has successfully implemented many innovative solutions to reduce migration downtime.
Successful Implementations
Careful planning is critical to successful database migration. However, the best plans, if not implemented properly, can lead to catastrophic results. SCI’s implementation procedures and schedule ensure the success of your database migration with minimal downtime.
