This guide provides you with all the information you need to execute a data warehouse migration project.
Process Overview
A data warehouse migration project consists of three main phases: Preparation, Execution, and Go-Live. Each phase consists of various actions that you need to perform to carry out the data warehouse migration.
- Preparation
- The preparation phase is where you define your migration team strategy, create an overview of your legacy data warehouse and its environment, and plan and prioritize the different iterations.
- Execution
- In this phase you create the required schemas, tables, users, etc. in Exasol, and then load data, translate processes, and perform migration testing to validate and verify data completeness and accuracy.
- Go-Live
- In the final phase you perform additional testing on the data, compare the data between the two data warehouses, and decommission the legacy warehouse.
