11. Why do you need this?
• You started some time ago using biGENiUS
• You want to…
• get rid of customizations that are now part of the standard
• use the latest generator features e.g. Data Vault 2.0, …
• benefit from the latest UI version e.g. improved data flow mappings, LCM Application
12. Which challenges do we have?
• Migration of UI and Meta DB is relativly easy, but that ain't true for the generator configuration!
• We have to ensure…
• to migrate all relevant nuts and bolts
• integrity of your modeled data
• integrity of your already loaded data and operation of your production data warehouse
13. What do we provide?
• Specialized meta database that supports your migration project
• Extensive reporting for changes between legacy and latest meta db version
• Identification of changes within customized and stock templates
• Automated way to import enties, facts, custom properties and settings
14. What does the upgrade process look like?
1. Setup
migration
environment
•Import legacy meta db
and create a new (up to
date) one
•Create the DWH in the
migration environment
2. Analyze
•Generate migration
report
•Identify changes to the
meta db and derive
required manual
adjustments
•Identify changes to the
templates and derive
required adjustments
•Generate migration
script
3. Migration
•Manual adjustments to
new meta db
•Execute the migration
scripts to import data
4. Testing
•Generate & deploy
migrated DWH
•Run initial &
incremental loads and
compare legacy and
new DWH
•Delta deployment to
migrate legacy DWH
