1.1. Current data model methodologies
 Defining concepts of data conversion and Data Terminologies
 Data is raw facts or unorganized things (such as alphabets, numbers, or symbols) that
refers to, or represent, conditions, ideas, or objects.
 It can be qualitative or quantitative.
 Qualitative data is descriptive information (it describes something)
 Quantitative data is numerical information (numbers).

 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:

Complied By Borena D. (Computer Science BSc) Page 5

  Database conversion (SQL, MySQL, MS Access, XLS, XML etc)
 File format conversion (PDF to Word)
 Image conversion (GIF to JPG, TIFF, PNG etc)
 Character or string conversion(numeric to alphabet or vice versa)
 Understanding Data and Its Characteristics
Data Conversion Systems and Tools Data Conversion Tool allow you to convert data both from
and to (both sides are supported) a wide variety of formats, including:
 SQL Server Tables
 Oracle Tables
 ODBC Tables
 OleDb Tables
 Microsoft Access Tables
 XML Files
 Data Modeling Methodologies
Data modeling is the formalization and documentation of existing processes and events that
occur during application software design and development.
Data modeling techniques and tools capture and translate complex system designs into easily
understood representations of the data flows and processes, creating a blueprint for construction
or re-engineering.
A data model can be thought of as a diagram or flowchart that illustrates the relationships
between data.
There are several different approaches of data modeling, including:
 Conceptual Data Modeling: identifies the highest-level relationships between different
entities.
 Logical Data Modeling: illustrates the specific entities, attributes and relationships
involved in a business function.
 Physical Data Modeling: represents an application and database-specific implementation
of a logical data model.

  Data Conditioning and cleaning
Data cleaning is the process of fixing or removing incorrect, corrupted, incorrectly formatted,
duplicate, or incomplete data within a dataset. When combining multiple data sources, there are
many opportunities for data to be duplicated or mislabeled. If data is incorrect, outcomes and
algorithms are unreliable, even though they may look correct. There is no one absolute way to
prescribe the exact steps in the data cleaning process because the processes will vary from
dataset to dataset. But it is crucial to establish a template for your data cleaning process so you
know you are doing it the right way every time.
Data conditioning (Pre-processing) is the use of data management and optimization techniques
which result in the intelligent routing, optimization and protection of data for storage or data
movement in a computer system.
Data cleaning is the act of detecting and removing or correcting dirty data (i.e.: data that is
incorrect, out-of-date, redundant, incomplete, or formatted incorrectly).
Data Cleaning helps to increase the overall efficiency of your data management systems and
leads to an increase in the productivity of the organization.
 Data Transformation and integration
Data transformation is one of the collective processes known as extract, transform or load which
is one of the most important processes in data warehouse implementation from different data
sources.
Data Integration is the process of combining heterogeneous data sources in to a single queriable
schema so as to get a unified view of these data.

1.2. Conversion support documentation

Obtaining and applying conversion supporting documentation is an important part of the data
conversion process. This documentation typically includes a detailed description of the data
being converted, the format and structure of the data, and any rules or standards that must be
followed during the conversion process.
To obtain this documentation, you should reach out to the owners or custodians of the data and
request the appropriate documentation. Once you have the documentation, you should review it

Complied By Borena D. (Computer Science BSc) Page 7

thoroughly and ensure that you understand all the requirements and guidelines for the conversion
process.
During the conversion process, you should refer to the documentation frequently to make sure
that you are following all the guidelines and rules. If you encounter any issues or questions
during the conversion process, you should reach back out to the owners or custodians of the data
for clarification.
By obtaining and applying conversion supporting documentation, you can ensure that the data
conversion process is accurate, complete, and compliant with all the necessary requirements and
standards.

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.

Complied By Borena D. (Computer Science BSc) Page 8

  Conduct testing: Conduct testing to ensure that the converted data is accurate and
complete and that it meets the necessary requirements and specifications.
By monitoring the data conversion process, you can identify any issues or challenges early on
and take corrective action to address them. This will help to ensure that the end result meets the
necessary requirements and specifications and that the project is successful

 Reading and Analyzing Existing Data Conversion Documents

The data conversion process can often be a complex and difficult task during an implementation.
When performing data conversions, you must include analysis of your source data and continues
through to system testing and user acceptance.
Throughout the conversion process, we perform quality control checks to ensure correctness of
the conversion.

1.3. Back up data before conversion.

Protecting production data is a critical aspect of the data conversion process. One way to protect
production data is to ensure that you have a backup of all the data before starting the conversion
process. This backup should be kept in a secure location and should be easily accessible in case
of any issues or errors during the conversion process.
To ensure that you have a backup of the production data, you should create a backup schedule
that takes regular backups of the data. This schedule should be based on the frequency of data
updates and the criticality of the data. For example, if the data is updated frequently and is
critical to the business, you may want to take backups every few hours or daily.
In addition to taking backups, you should also test the backup process to ensure that the backups
are complete and accurate. This testing should be done regularly to ensure that the backup
process is working properly.
By taking action to ensure backups before conversion, you can protect production data and
ensure that you have a reliable fallback in case of any issues or errors during the conversion
process.

1.4. Identification Client requirements.

Determining and impacting the requirements of the client on business operations is a critical
aspect of any project. To do this effectively, you should first understand the client's requirements

Complied By Borena D. (Computer Science BSc) Page 9

and how they impact the business operations. This involves engaging with the client and asking
questions to understand their needs and expectations.
Once you have a clear understanding of the client's requirements, you should evaluate how they
impact the business operations. This involves assessing the current business processes and
identifying any changes or modifications that may be required to meet the client's needs.
You should then develop a plan to implement the changes or modifications. This plan should
include timelines, resource requirements, and any potential risks or issues that may arise during
the implementation process.
Throughout the implementation process, you should communicate regularly with the client to
ensure that their requirements are being met and that any issues or concerns are addressed in a
timely manner. You should also monitor the impact of the changes on the business operations
and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the business continues to run smoothly.
By determining and impacting the requirements of the client on business operations, you can
ensure that the project is successful and that the client's needs are met while minimizing any
disruption to the business operations

1.5. Software, hardware or environmental pre-requisites

Identifying and confirming software, hardware, or environmental pre-requisites is an important
part of the conversion planning process. To do this, you should review the conversion plan and
identify any software, hardware, or environmental requirements that are necessary for the
conversion process.
Once you have identified these requirements, you should confirm that they are available and
meet the necessary specifications. This may involve testing the hardware and software to ensure
that they are compatible with the conversion process and that they meet the necessary
performance requirements.
If any gaps or issues are identified during this process, you should develop a plan to address
them. This may involve upgrading hardware or software, adjusting the conversion plan to
accommodate the limitations, or finding alternative solutions that meet the requirements.
It's important to confirm these pre-requisites before starting the conversion process to avoid any
delays or issues during the conversion process. By identifying and confirming these pre-

2.1. Verification of data
Verifying results based on a relevant checklist is an important part of the data conversion
process. To do this, you should develop a checklist that includes all the relevant requirements,
specifications, and standards that must be met during the conversion process.
Once you have developed the checklist, you should use it to verify the results of the conversion
process. This may involve reviewing the data, comparing it to the original data, and checking for
any errors or discrepancies.
If any issues or discrepancies are identified during the verification process, you should document
them and develop a plan to address them. This may involve making corrections to the data,
adjusting the conversion process, or finding alternative solutions that meet the requirements.
It's important to document the results of the verification process, including any issues or
discrepancies that were identified and how they were addressed. This documentation can be used
to track the progress of the conversion process and to ensure that all requirements and
specifications have been met.
By verifying results based on a relevant checklist, you can ensure that the conversion process is
accurate, complete, and compliant with all the necessary requirements and standards.
 Present verify data and signing by appropriate person
Presenting the results of the data conversion process to the appropriate person and obtaining
sign-off is an important step in the project. To do this, you should develop a presentation that
includes all the relevant information about the conversion process, including the goals, timeline,
challenges, and results.
Once you have developed the presentation, you should schedule a meeting with the appropriate
person or group to present the results. During the presentation, you should highlight the key
findings and outcomes of the conversion process, including any issues that were encountered and
how they were addressed.
After the presentation, you should obtain sign-off from the appropriate person or group. This
sign-off confirms that the results of the conversion process meet the necessary requirements and
specifications, and that the project is complete.
It's important to document the sign-off, including the date, time, and names of the individuals
who provided it. This documentation can be used to track the progress of the project and to
ensure that all necessary approvals have been obtained.

By presenting the results of the data conversion process to the appropriate person and obtaining
sign-off, you can ensure that the project is complete and that all requirements and specifications
have been met.

2.2. Store, update and export convert data

 Sorting data
Sorting data is the process of arranging items into meaningful order so that you can analyze it
more effectively.
Example:
 sort text data into alphabetical order
 sort numeric data into numerical order
 Updating Data
The modification of data that is already in the database is referred to as updating. The update
operation allows you to change an existing database record in a logical or physical file. You can
update individual rows, all the rows in a table. Each column can be updated separately without
affecting other columns.
UPDATE table name
SET column1=value, column2=value2...
WHERE some_column=some_value
To perform an update, you need three pieces of information:
A. The name of the table and column to update,
B. The new value of the column,
C. Which row(s) to update?
 Exporting data
 You can export data from one application to another application using the Export
Wizard.
 Exporting lets you share data from one application by providing a copy of data.
 Ensuring Data Quality
DBMS provides a set of features that enable you to ensure the quality of data that is moved from
source systems to your data destination. Data profiling is a feature that enables you to analyze

Complied By Borena D. (Computer Science BSc) Page 17

the content and structure of your data to determine inconsistencies, anomalies, and redundancies
in the data.
 Collection, Organization and Analysis of Data and Information
The data is typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality (for example, the availability
of rooms in hotels), in a way that supports processes requiring the information (for example,
finding a hotel with vacancies).
 Organization of data
Organization of data is any one of the data management conventions for physical and spatial
arrangement of the physical records of a data set.
 Analysis of data
Analysis of data is the process of evaluating data using analytical and logical reasoning to
examine each component of the data provided. Data from various sources is gathered, reviewed,
and then analyzed to form some sort of finding or conclusion.
 Information
Information is processed data that can affect behavior, a decision or outcome.
It is valuable that is:-
 accurate and timely
 specific and organized for a purpose
 presented within a context that gives it meaning and relevance
 Can lead to an increase in understanding and decrease in uncertainty

2.3. Data loading and indexing on the production server

Data loading is the process of copying and loading data or data sets from a source file, folder or
application to a database or similar application. It is usually implemented by copying digital data
from a source and pasting or loading the data to data storage or processing utility.
Index Server Catalogs Index Server lets you use catalogs to conduct searches both on local
directories and on directories on other machines. A catalog contains the index of the contents of
the directories in its scope (i.e., a collection of directories that is indexed and searched as a unit).
In other words, a catalog is the highest level of organization in Index Server—it contains the
index for one or more scopes, which are simply references to subdirectories that you want to
include in the catalog.

2.4. Documentation of backup copies of conversion files
Maintaining and documenting backup copies of conversion files is an important part of the data
conversion process. To do this, you should develop a backup plan that includes the following
steps:
 Determine the backup schedule: Determine how often backups will be taken and how
long they will be retained. This may depend on the frequency of data updates and the
criticality of the data.
 Identify backup storage locations: Identify the locations where backup copies of the
conversion files will be stored. This may include cloud-based storage, local servers, or
external hard drives.
 Develop a backup process: Develop a process for taking backups of the conversion files.
This may involve using automated tools or manual processes.
 Test the backup process: Test the backup process to ensure that it is working properly and
that the backup copies of the conversion files are accurate and complete.
 Document the backup process: Document the backup process, including the backup
schedule, storage locations, and backup process itself.
 Maintain and update backup copies: Maintain and update the backup copies of the
conversion files regularly to ensure that they are up-to-date and accurate.
By maintaining and documenting backup copies of conversion files, you can ensure that you
have a reliable fallback in case of any issues or errors during the conversion process. This will
help to minimize any disruption to the business operations and ensure that the end result meets
the necessary requirements and specifications.
 Develop clear and coherent technical documentation
Developing clear and coherent technical documentation is an important part of the data
conversion process. To do this, you should follow these best practices:
 Define the audience: Define the target audience for the technical documentation. This
may include developers, testers, project managers, or other stakeholders.
 Use clear and concise language: Use clear and concise language that is easy to
understand. Avoid technical jargon or acronyms that may not be familiar to the audience.
 Use visual aids: Use visual aids such as diagrams, flowcharts, or screenshots to help
explain complex concepts or processes.
