Thumb


STEP 1: Legacy Analysis

Automatically analyzes the legacy environment and identifies all legacy components, such as SAS Base, DI Studio, Informatica, SQL scripts, or database dependencies (e.g., Oracle, Teradata).

Databricks SQL Notebooks:
Pushes converted code directly into Databricks Workspaces for seamless collaboration.

PySpark Workflows:
DB invokes SAS2PY API to convert code in S3 or elsewhere.
STEP 2: Code Conversion

Syntax Conversion:
Parse SAS, SQL, or ETL workflows and convert them into Databricks SQL or PySpark-compatible scripts.

Schema Translation:
Adapt legacy database schemas to Databricks’ Delta Lake architecture, ensuring ACID compliance and optimal performance.

ETL Modernization:
Replace legacy ETL workflows (e.g., Informatica) with Delta Lake-native pipelines for scalable, modern data processing.

Push Models:
Export converted workflows directly to Databricks Workspaces for immediate use.

Pull Models:
Use Databricks to invoke SAS2PY APIs to process and migrate code from storage solutions like S3.

Code Optimization:
Refactor inefficient or outdated logic to maximize Databricks’ performance capabilities, leveraging the Lakehouse platform for scalability and speed.













STEP 3: GenAI Validation & Testing

Leverage cutting-edge Generative AI to analyze, optimize, and validate the converted legacy code, ensuring a fully optimized solution within Databricks.

Data Validation:
Automate checks to confirm parity between legacy outputs and Databricks results, ensuring the integrity of data migration.

Regression Testing:
Compare outputs of migrated workflows with legacy systems to maintain consistency across operations.

Error Handling:
Identify and resolve syntax errors, data inconsistencies, or logic gaps during the testing phase to ensure production readiness.
Data Matching

Automated Schema Mapping:
Automatically maps source schemas (e.g., SAS, Oracle, Teradata) to Snowflake.

Data Type Validation:
Ensures that column types (e.g., numeric, string, date) in the legacy system are correctly translated into Snowflake-native formats.

Metadata Comparison:
Compares metadata (e.g., table structures, indexes) between legacy and Snowflake systems to guarantee structural alignment.

Metrics Comparison:
Validates key metrics such as counts, sums, averages, and other aggregates between source and target systems.

Partitioned Validation:
Supports aggregate checks at the partition level (e.g., by date or region) to ensure consistency across subsets of data.
