APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DATA PROFILE BASED CONSTRUCTION OF AN EXTRACTION, TRANSFORM, LOAD (ETL) TASK

摘要

A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to accept a specification of an Extraction, Transformation, Load (ETL) task associated with source data. Source data is profiled to produce profiled data. Data conformance rules are defined from the profiled data. Mapping rules are generated in accordance with the collaborative specification and data conformance rules. The mapping rules are utilized to create an ETL task.
