Identifying and formatting data for data migration

摘要

Data formatting, migration and corresponding application acceptance for cloud-based applications may include various operations. One example operation may include identifying a data object eligible for migration to a cloud application and identifying a number of field groups linked to the data object, each of the field groups may include at least one data field. The operation may further provide receiving the field groups at a data formatting application operated on a remote cloud application server. Also, a format of the field group may be converted to a format associated with a simple data set of the cloud application for data migration purposes.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
identifying at least one data object for migration to a remote cloud application server; identifying a plurality of field groups linked to the at least one data object, each of the plurality of field groups comprising at least one data field, wherein a field group is linked to content of the at least one data object by a pointer; receiving, via an application programming interface, the plurality of field groups at the remote cloud application server; identifying at least one of the received plurality of field groups for migration to the remote cloud application server; generating a simple data set, wherein the simple data set is loadable into the remote cloud application server to migrate content of the identified at least one data object; converting a format of the identified at least one field group to a format associated with the simple data set, the conversion including translating the linking of (i) the identified field group to the content of the at least one data object to (ii) formatting of the simple data set such that the simple data set includes a subset of data of the at least one data object, the data not included in the subset of data being derivable from the subset of data; modifying the simple data set to include the at least one data field; and migrating the modified simple data set to the remote cloud application server.
