Acknowledgment
Borena D. (BSc)s wish to extend thanks and appreciation to the many representatives of TVT
instructors and respective industry experts who donated their time and expertise to the
development of this Teaching, Training and Learning Materials (TTLM).
This module provides as the process of translating data from one format to another. It involves
the planning of steps and mapping of data fields to convert one set/type of data into a different,
more desired, format. .The goal of data conversion is to prevent data loss or corruption by
maintaining the integrity of the data and embedded structures.
This module covers the units:
Monitor data conversion
Support data conversion
Module Instruction
For effective use this modules trainees are expected to follow the following module instruction:
1. Read the information written in each unit
2. Accomplish the Self-checks at the end of each unit
3. Perform Operation Sheets which were provided at the end of units
4. Do the “LAP test” giver at the end of each unit and
5. Read the identified reference book for Examples and exercise
This unit is developed to provide you the necessary information regarding the following content
coverage and topics
Current data model methodologies.
Conversion support documentation.
Back up data before conversion.
Identification Client requirement.
Software, hardware or environmental pre-requisites
Validation data accuracy and integrity.
Data conversion tools.
Documentation of data rejection behavior of the conversion.
This unit will also assist you to attain the learning outcomes stated in the cover page.
Specifically, upon completion of this learning guide, you will be able to:
Identify data model methodologies
Apply Convert support document.
Protect data before conversion.
Understand Client requirements.
Identify Software, hardware or environmental pre-requisites.
Validate data accuracy and integrity
Understand data conversion tools
documents data rejection behavior of the conversion
Discrete data can only take certain values (like whole numbers)
Continuous data can take any value (within a range)
Put simply: Discrete data can be counted, Continuous data can be measured
Qualitative:
It is brown and black
It has long hair
It has lots of energy
Quantitative:
Discrete:
o It has 4 legs
o It has 10 fingers
Continuous:
o It weighs 25.5 kg
o It is 565 mm tall
Data conversion is the conversion of one file or database from one format (from one
physical environment) to another.
Types of conversion:
Monitoring the data conversion process is an important aspect of ensuring a successful project
outcome. To monitor data conversion, you should consider the following:
Define monitoring criteria: define the criteria that will be used to monitor the data
conversion process. This may include data accuracy, completeness, consistency, and
integrity.
Establish monitoring processes: Establish processes for monitoring the data conversion
process. This may include using automated tools, manual review, or a combination of
both.
Monitor the conversion process: monitor the data conversion process regularly to ensure
that it is running smoothly and that all requirements and specifications are being met.
Identify issues: Identify any issues or challenges that arise during the conversion process
and develop a plan to address them.
Communicate with stakeholders: Communicate regularly with stakeholders to provide
updates on the progress of the data conversion process and to address any concerns or
issues that arise.
This unit is developed to provide you the necessary information regarding the following content
coverage and topics
Verification of data
Store, update and export convert data
Data loading and indexing on the production server
Documentation of backup copies of conversion files
This unit will also assist you to attain the learning outcomes stated in the cover page.
Specifically, upon completion of this learning guide, you will be able to:
Understand and verify data.
Store, update and export converted data
identify data load and indexing on the production server
Document backup copies of conversion files
Self check2
1. Right-click the PDF you want to open. If you're using a Mac and don't have a right
mouse button, press Control as you click the file. This will open a context menu.
3 Click Word or Microsoft Word on the menu. This opens Word and attempts to display
the PDF
4. Edit the Word document. The converted document may not have perfect page to page
correspondence due to line and page breaks, graphics, and other details. Making manual
adjustments may be necessary.
